So if you have plastic boxes in anew house switches don't have to be grounded? When did you get your license? LOL!
I did not say that if you are using NM boxes and NM cable that they don't have to be grounded, that was assumed. I think you should read a little more carefully.
I understood exactly what you meant. But then, there are parts of the NEC that I understand, too.
:lol:
Thanks for the moral support-I think that' what you meant?
In any event, I have no issue with someone wanting clarification or even disagreeing with my comments, that's fair enough. But to question my credentials and insult me when he doesn't even know me is where I draw the line.
Technically, we are supposed to give new members (less than 100 posts) some slack.
However.......I agree with you that the post was rude and uncalled for. Hence, said support on my part.
FWIW, you can still purchase switches with or without a grounding terminal. Watch for that if you are getting stuff out of bins....
I have a quick question, (not trying to jack the thread but i believe the question was answered )
If there is a multi-gang NM box would all switches need bonding or just one?
And one more thing....just a point of trivia, 2005 they stopped using hyphens in article numbers and went to periods. Just trying to restore my honor through research for extra credit as the OP thinks I just fell off the turnip truck yesterday.
In a 2, or 3 or 4 gang box I have always grounded each device (switch or recptacle)
What would be the reasoning to ground just one ??:?
as it was explained to us (by our inspector) the main reason for grounding the switches was in case homeowners replaced our plastic plates with metal plates
we, at the time were grounding all devises in any size box, inspector told us that only one was needed in multi-gang boxes
receptacles are always grounded
With out a doubt. You are nothing less than a swirling mass of intimadation......Now me OTOH... I do believe that I scare a few people
