Joe,

I'm a little tardy getting my new codebook, but I can gaurantee the '99 code prohibits this.

The people that see this everday probably think that it is relatively safe because the gap is so small that the wires aren't likely to be damaged. Little do they realize that the metal raceway is usually the only equipment ground & there is the possibility of a serious hazard downstream of this fitting.

Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.
