Johnd24, 300.4(A)(1) does not require a listed plate. The code only requires that the plater be made of steel that is at least 1/16" thick. A blank cover meets this rule. -------------- I like the Slater boxes too. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/smile.gif)

yes Al, it is a P&S box w/internal clamps, they have the most volume per 1G i can find on the market.
johnd24,
'neat workmanship' is such a grey area, the single gang in question violates a bona fide code, it is visual, cite it and be the thread king!

Sparky are you saying that by the time the wires enter the box,they are too close to the edge of the stud? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/confused.gif)

ding>ding>ding we have a winner! yes ga.sparky56 ! (this calls for a copy/paste) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/rolleyes.gif) (D) Cables and Raceways Parallel to Framing Members. In both exposed and concealed locations, where a cable- or raceway-type wiring method is installed parallel to framing members, such as joists, rafters, or studs, the cable or raceway shall be installed and supported so that the nearest outside surface of the cable or raceway is not less than 32 mm (11/4 in.) from the nearest edge of the framing member where nails or screws are likely to penetrate. Where this distance cannot be maintained, the cable or raceway shall be protected from penetration by nails or screws by a steel plate, sleeve, or equivalent at least 1.6 mm (1/16 in.) thick

As a guy who doesn't do houses, isn't this a problem(1.25 in clearances) on any interior wall where a box is installed?? like between 2 bedrooms or wherever a stud wall is used a partition. If the box is 3 inches deep on a 3.5 wall?????
