Rick:

I did not think about the box fill with the 2 wire device deduction in this octagon box.

If it had 2 - 12 AWG THW, for example, and the box was one of the sizes in the table how would we determne if it was too small?

I am pretty sure that this was in a hotel along a wall in an equipment room, and not out 0f doors, if it was I would have taken more pictures of it.

The connector issue is strange, and we have to be careful when they are used in locations that include those other than dry that are defined in Article 100 under "Locations"

The stupidity code? I think that is still being edited and maybe we can ask a few of the members here for some advice, or maybe they can direct us to a place were we can find rules that apply?

You still have one more item to identify before the Red Tag can be left on the Job .....
