This may be a dumb question but... I've been doi'n this work for forty plus years and I've always wondered why the clamp (usually on a 1 gang device box) is marked with a "N" over one opening and "T" over the other.
Hey Mr.Ed
That is something I was wondering as well!
My pancake box in the photos section has an "N" on the romex clamp.
I had absolutely no clue, other than the "N" might stand for neutral (noodle) from the old K&T days, or that it denotes the clamp is meant for NM cable.(without any basis, just guesses.)
Now, I remember seeing "T" on other clamps, like you say, so now I'm completely lost in space.
Please...somebody explain...S
Joe!!
Thanks, while I was stumbling over my keyboard, you were answering!
Wow, you guys are all over this thing!
I was just searching for some old posts about that...
I found one of them
