gfretwell...I too, like that sleeve idea and will try it!

250.86 exception #2 allows short sections of metalic raceway to be ungrounded where used to protect cable assemblies...

So, if it where UF wire emerging from ground, then no bonding...

But, if the raceway encloses individual conductors for the branch circuit, then bonding is required...

Do we agree?
