Uh...... I didn't find a definition for "tap" in the code. Or splice either. I believe them to mean the same thing.

American Electrician's Handbook defines it as this:

Quote
Tap or Tap circuit is a circuit which serves a single energy utilizing devise, and is connected directly to a branch without the interposition of a cutout.

Funny, I can't find a definition for 'splice' in it?

Of course we all know that most of the content of that book was written in the early 1900's, when language was different than it is now for many things. But I do think we are ALL talking about apples, not oranges, right? [Linked Image]
