All wire is Flexible, so what makes a wire flexible enough to be under the 400.8 code, and what is the 400.7.
These numbers mean nothing to the original poster, and helps none for the problem.
Please Post the Code Info , not the numbers, If you really want to help.
Pay attention to what is being posted my friend.
First it was 400.8 not 400.7
Second the code section was posted in clear English
It is the marking on the cord or cable that mandates how the cord or cable is to be installed.
SJEW is a rubber cord not a cable and is not allowed as part of the premises wiring and not allowed to pass through holes in walls which this installation violates both.
A lot of these codes are not meant in all States, and you can do what you want in your own home in most States in the USA.
This is the most incorrect statement I have ever read on the internet. The first word in the book’s title in National. This means it goes over the entire nation.
No you cannot do as you please in your own home. There are cases where homeowner’s insurance companies have filed suit in court against homeowners who did unpermitted work in their own homes.
When adopted by your state the NEC becomes law. Are you saying I can break the law as long as I am inside my own home? You need to let all the drug dealers that are in prison know this so they can get out.
Call BR549 For a good time, Most know that code, but not 368.56(B)
What does busways have to do with the original post?
P.S. At the least post the link to the code , most DIY people are not as smart as you. They want help, not BS.
10-4 ?
One again you are not paying attention to the post. I posted the code section that relates to the problem.
Anyone undertaking a do-it-yourself project should already be familiar with the codes involved in the project or they should leave it alone. In a lot of areas in the US the permit office will require the homeowner to take a test on the codes involved before issuing a permit and let’s hope no one would undertake a project such as installing a AC unit without a permit.
Should something go wrong and there was no inspection the door would be wide open for legal action.
As far as to being help to the original poster try reading post number 11. It looks like all I did was confuse this poor old fellow to the point of suicide, or then again maybe it was you that was confused.
I would strongly suggest that if you don’t understand something that you speak up but don’t start posting about someone else that might be confused, let them do that their self. Don’t start taking for granted the ignorance of others as they might be as smart as or even smarter than you seem to be giving them credit for. To make the statement, “not everyone is as smart as you†is very insulting to everyone but I do appreciate you praise of my knowledge.
Now if I can get my hat on this big head you have given me I shall go forth to meet my day.
