By the way, just in case you can't see it, my tongue is firmly planted in my cheek. Happy New Year to all.

Quote: Originally posted by Bill Addiss: I never heard the 1/4" jacket rule only being for plastic boxes unless they mean that it should be longer in other boxes such as this with clamps in which case I would say that the jacket should extend 1/4" further than the clamp. Maybe someone else has a comment on this? Found an article by Charles R. Miller in the ECM Code in Focus. He points out that the 1/4" rule is in the section for NM boxes. In order to keep from plagiarizing, you can read it here and search under September 2000 Author Charles R. Miller. Notice by the number of edits, I tried to make it easier... Like the AC anti-short bushing and the anti-oxidant "rules", I wonder what other "codes" don't really exist?
