The way I read it the Class has a big part in the two being able to be put together as well as the wiring methods. Now if you changed the power supply from a class 2 or 3 to a one that might be a different story.

We're hitting on some of my considerations. While I may have done 'more' than the code requires, I believe in the following saying: "Good design invariably meets code; Designing 'to code' will often result in poor design - and might not even meet the code when all is done."

I would hope that the triple beam would be unnecessary at a reputable supply house! Don't the fake and/or gray market goods show up at small suppliers, as opposed to large chain (multi location) suppliers?

Ed, Most times the EC will usually do what the AHJ wants because it is not a big deal. It doesn't cost us much to move a receptacle over 1 foot. That is when the wall is open.
