Just replaced four wet niche lights in a pool that was being resurfaced. The original installation included aluminum niches that were grounded in addition to the #12 ground in the niche cable. We copied the installation, which included a #8 ground wire bonded to the aluminum niches AND the ground within the cable. Overkill, perhaps, but a good idea IMHO.

Yup I was wrong. I have found some cables with 14ga all around. I do have some with 14/14/12 ground tho. I think they are Pentair Amerlight cords.

Greg- Your a Class Act. It takes a classy guy to admit they are wrong. I have learned that this forum is monitored by a lot of sharp code guys. I too have been found in error on occasions on this forum. I guess that's how we learn. Between the IAEI and this forum I keep pretty muchnup to date

Greg,
You are a classy guy, I've known it for years. I too feel that when you can admit that you made a mistake, It makes a bigger person out of us. I have told a few contractors, that I made a mistake. You'll feel better about it. I always tell the contractors out there that I inspect, "If you have a problem with my call, talk to me. I might have made a mistake. Let's talk it out." We usually come to an agreement on how the code section should be enforced.

Anyone who is not willing to learn by their mistakes are doomed to make more mistakes. Inspectors, more than anyone, have to be willing to admit when they get one wrong and learn by it. This is the only way we can remain credible.
