ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area MC whips on ceiling grids

so what do we call them now? luminaire whips?

do you interpret 110.11[or -11] to mean that any MC runs, including whips, have to be supported off of the ceiling grid to keep weight off of the grid or protect it from tile access abuses? or does 334-10 or 330.30 that says you don't need to support whips, mean that all bets are off when the MC is a whip, so lay the MC on the ceiling grid and ignore 110?
