i'm curious what you saw Joe and where this is a problem

also wondering if i missed something Sparky cause i reread these and noticed you said MC, which you dont need anti-short bushings with anyway, right?

what i read in 320.40 is only the AC cable [with the 16awg bond wire] needs the bushing or "equivalent" visible and we dont use much AC except hcf in medical buildings, the insulated throats [equivalent?] are visible at cover
