Electure,

Let's see, 107/4 = 27 wires per conduit. That works out to about a 67% fill. If the conduits were 24" or less, 60% would be allowed, so he isn't over as much as I thought he'd be. Must of held his mouth just right & used KY Jelly to get them in there. It's hard to put wires into a 60% fill without some serious bad language.

I've spent a lot of time marking wires & writing on j-box lids. Sometimes, I wonder if it is worth the effort. Marking the wires is especially time consuming & I'm not as religious about it as I should be.

Then, 2 years later, or more, I go back to one of my jobs to do additional work. Then I remember why I bothered to mark the wires.

I once ran across a 40 circuit load center that you had to lean on the cover real hard to get the screws started. There were only 10 circuits in use, any extra wire was just crammed into the enclosure. Owner didn't want to pay me to neaten it up, probably still there to this day.

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