Actually you are being ignorant in regards to the rules contained in the NEC.



You would not have to be swinging as long as your working in our area, the rules are different.

You can bet I would try to talk to this inspectors boss as it is a bad call and I doubt the inspector is actually the AHJ but it can still go either way.

Ignoramus inspector cited two articles neithr of which are even close to applying to this installation.

The last one, 314.42 applys to j box COVERS. Nothing to do with the installation. NOTHING. But it's ME that is ignorant of the code. Ok Bob.



Your interpretation, correct or not is absurd. This gives the ahj authority to fail ANY installation for NO reason. That is ridiculously frightening.

"I don't accept Leviton receptacles....FAIL.." :rolleyes:

I'd bet this loser inspector has never worked in the trade a day in his miserable life. :rolleyes:

What do the words in NEC 90.4 mean to you?

I am asking, they seem clear to me, help me out what am I missing?

Pretty much how I see it but keep in mind inspectors are not usually the actual AHJ, they are inspectors.

That is ridiculously frightening.

Perhaps that is why MA modified 90.4?

I bet a call to Juno and their 20 lawyers would brighten up the AHJ's life. Also, UL might want to question the inspector on what he made his decision on.

i probably just misunderstood what you've said, please clarify it for me...

are you saying if you had the contact information of the inspector who
turned down the original poster's can light installation that you would
take it upon yourself to involve yourself in someone else's work, that
is not done under your license, that you did not perform the work on,
and that you have no financial involvement with? even if to do so could
possibly be detrimental to the original posters working relationship with
his inspector?

is that what you are telling all of us here. that you, acting on your own
initiative, would interfere in something that is none of your business?

just wondering.....

I definitely agree with getting Juno involved, as far as UL I don't see a private listing agency having any ability to put pressure on the inspector.
