Guys:
Thanks for the info!
Greg:
Perhaps NJ did something 'right' for a change by waiting for AFCI till now!
As to the 'combo' terminology, I have a few guys that think it means AFCI/GFCI in one unit. Last comment from DCA was that there are 'none available'!

John,
No I don't mean to start any jack except with the new NEC. LOL I am still waiting patiently to see if the 2008 NEC was adopted yet.

Don't get me started on this subject again. Sorry, I feel the code is run by too many manufactures and they are pushing their products down our throat. I had 2 children plus I am the middle child of 3 boys. I know what it is like to get in trouble. I watched my children for years when they grew up and I made sure that they didn't put paper clips in the receptacles. I also had the plastic plugs. Here in NJ the 2008 hasn't been adopted yet, but when it is, I will have to enforce the code as it is written, not as it should be.

Regular readers know I am in favor of a 5 or even 10 year code cycle and products should prove themselves in the marketplace before they are advanced at the point of a government gun.

Greg,
I agree with you buddy. Every 3 years might be too small a time span. I also agree that products should prove their reliability before being enforced in the code. There was also the point of cost to a new house, the experts say that the extra cost won't be much, however not everyone shops at the large box stores. Some of the small mom/pop supply houses might have to charge more than the big stores for the new required devices.
