Reno:
Look back on my previous comments; there are 'ways' to solve issues. Those that do not affect life safety, or ADA requirements.
My last comment was to Harold...and perhaps I was not eloquent in my choice of words. As to there being discression on an AHJs approval, I and Harold also have to abide by State regulations.
Without a rant, yes there are NEC requirements that I personally don't agree with, as I am quite sure that others, including you concur. Our UCC has procedures for certain variations from NEC, and other code requirements, as long as it is not life safety or ADA. Harold seems to be of the same opinion that I expressed, although I cannot speak for him.
Also, we (NJ) do not have any 'city' codes, we have the 2008 NEC, with a few exceptions, that is supposed to be statewide. The 'codes' are adopted by the State DCA, and opinions are accepted for consideration prior to adoption. Harold, for one has submitted opinions, and like most, I believe they were not accepted by DCA.
Hopefully, the title or 'lying' is not on my ID tag.
