I often thought about submitting an exception to the rule about seperate supports above drop ceilings.
I was thinking that you should be allowed to use the "bat wing" clips to support whips used for "daisy chaining" between fixtures where the bat wing clip would only serve the purpose of keeping the MC off of the ceiling tile.
Very often my company had done small jewelery stores where almost every ceiling tile had a light, oops,I mean luminaire, installed in it. So what would the harm be in this case to simply use a batwing clip to hold up the MC if it passed by a grid wire?
Don't get me wrong. I support the use of dedicated supports for other conduit and wire, but for daisy chaining....?
