Here in WV, this must be considered a state of the art junction box since I've seen so many just like it, or their close cousins.

By the way, just in case you can't see it, my tongue is firmly planted in my cheek.

Happy New Year to all.

Yeah, I can vouch for that, Tom! It seems to be the standard J box for these parts; and you are allowed to put as many cables as you can force into it as well!

Found an article by Charles R. Miller in the ECM Code in Focus. He points out that the 1/4" rule is in the section for NM boxes. In order to keep from plagiarizing, you can read it <a href="http://www.ecmag.com/backsearch/">here</a> and search under September 2000 Author Charles R. Miller.

Notice by the number of edits, I tried to make it easier...

Like the AC anti-short bushing and the anti-oxidant "rules", I wonder what other "codes" don't really exist?

Would also have been nice to see the 150mm of free conductor left in the box for splices , But I guess he wasn't finished running wires into the J.Box as he need the room . [Linked Image]

Those codes for anti-shorts, etc. do exist.
see 110-2, 110-3, 90-7. Installation to manufacturers specs. The cable I get comes with a bag of bushings attached right to it.
