As most of you know, I am working for a large electrical contractor after giving up my business of 10 years.
I have been frustrated to see work installed on a couple of jobs that violates the NEC.
This is stuff that isn't necessarily unsafe but it just isn't right and I would have never done this in my own business.
In most cases the supervisor not only knows about it but is the one telling the others to install it that way.
Examples:
- Troughs / Pull boxes WAY undersized.
- 3" EMT conduit entering a pull box through a concrete floor using compression connectors with the compression nuts removed (because they wouldn't fit through the cored hole) secured with duct tape.
- oversized flex/MC box connectors used on #2 MC feeders.
- #12-2 / 12-3 / 14-2 MC not secured properly. Secured with cable ties to sprinkler lines and plumbing lines. Not secured within 12" of boxes and tied only to other cables for support.
- (Almost forgot) 3" PVC adapted to 3" GRC with a PVC coupling pounded over the unthreaded end of the GRC.
Am I just "Nit-picking" ?
