If this was inside a building then 800.110 would apply and require compliance with the rules in Chapter 3, however being outside, there is nothing to require complaince with Chapter 3 as the Chapter 8 Articles are "stand alone".

Does anyone else see a problem with the bending radius on the sealtite going to the quad outlet or lack of support?

^^
Yes!


It's unbelievable that using garden hose in a W/P box for low voltage connections is NOT a violation. But it sure is good for discussion (and laughs!).

Is there a safety issue?

If not IMO the NEC should keep out of it.

It's ugly, it's hack, but other than perhaps a trip hazard I see no safety issue.

Yes and will add 225.22 ....'Arainged to drain'

That is a violation with almost all outdoor AC units.

at least it might be water proof

Is there a U.L. listing on the garden hose. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's not listed for this application. Even if it were listed for this application, those connectors are surely not listed for garden hose.

Since you brought this gem back to life....did you read Don's (Resqcapt19) statement above?

It's a hack install, but; UL listed garden hose, perhaps, but for irrigation, or maybe drinking water. Yes, it looks like heck, NO, I would not do it as an EC (I doubt that a 'pro' did this), but as an AHJ...I can't fail it.

BTW, the connectors look like pipe nipples into the hubs.

It's silly the amount of attention this gets, and as an ahj. If somebody actually called for an inspection of this. I'd suspect you could refer it to the plumbing inspector?

No, the plumbing inspector has no jurisdiction on the hose; he has to check the backflow (anti-siphon). LMAO!!

The hack squad should be called
