A Couple of things.
In Ma. They have required smokes in ALL bedrooms for several years, This was to address some of the issues at hand.
Some Mfgrs. do make 2 pole AFCIs' while some have openly expressed that they have no itntentions of making them.Forcing us to a limited choice of equipment.
Fair enough, Free market.

RE: 05, All 120V 15A & 20ckts require AFCI. ANY OUTLET in a bedroom,some removed smokes from this requirement.

I think we're headed for a "quagmire". No one can give or get a straight answer on the intent or bennefits of this.

Unfortunately, I think (and can forsee) A lot of these "safety items",being removed shortly after inspections.In my opinion.. This will create a greater hazard than the one we are trying to prevent.

Skeptic? Yes. Understanding? Yes. Realist? Yes.

Am I alone?
