They require us to flex over the NM to the disposal. Not the dishwasher though.

Unfortantly all of our disposal and DW are all hardwire. Wich is a toss up, I dunno how thrilled I am about puting a receptical under the sink or behind the DW.

What is the problem with a receptacle under the sink?

Foestauf:

"and as to working hot with a helper sure sounds nice but if less then 480/277 volts not really considered dangerous...since we are electricians and take every precaution not to ground ourselves while working hot(gloves,hot blankets,good insulated tools,ect).

like i tell my guys, be the bird on the wire NOT the squirell on the pole....fried crispy style."

Where is that in the OSHA/POSHA/NESC books??

And, like I said above....a little respect, may go a long way. If you know the guy wants stickers, put 'em on before he gets there; not when he tells you. I cut guys slack to 'fix' something while I go thru the inspection, as long as it's OK when I'm ready to leave. Now, if they have devices/plates/fixtures missing, oh well, a "Not Ready" fail.

Sometimes attitude helps a lot!

That's it, I'm done!

While an unbroken piece of liquid-tight flex may prevent water from outside from getting in, as soon as you run ANY type of conduit outside, you can get condensation happening INSIDE the conduit, from the moisture in the air inside the conduit. Any outdoor conduit run is a wet location per the NEC, and needs properly rated conductors.

As previously suggested, simply replacing the NM with UF meets the NEC requirements and should be passed by the AHJ if properly installed.

The stickers are not required by code to be on gfi protected outlets unless the gfi is replacing a two wire receptacle outlet and the downstream ones have no grounding means.
