Doesn't have to make sense just have the "City guys" OK it...

Service disconnect on the A/C compressor directly on the cover with no ground wire in FMC.... NEC 440-14....SOOOOO WHAT... Vibration at the EMC...roof protrusion of conduit..."sealed with roofing tar"...... .....SOOOO WHAT...

Green wire to neutral buss in distribution panel....SOOOO what ...city inspector said "it's OK" STUPID home inspector!!!

Please Note: Pat is, most probably, the best human reference source for the Chicago Building code. A veritable Joe Tedesco for the Chicago code.

Don't be fooled by his, somewhat, unorthodox grammer. Please understand that he had a minor accident, a year ago, and doesn't talk (or type) so good anymore

Hope this helps;

Will is tooo modest to admit he is very very well versed in the Code(s) in the 92 jurisdiction around this area.

I do not have this "code" knowledge nor do I understand 2/3 thirds of the multi-phone book sized City of Chicago codes... I would have to been on Prozac and horse tranquilizers dropped in a bottle of scotch and ouzo to begin to interpret them....

I can only say in my honest opinion that the cumulative patch work of adjectives used in our "fine code books" leads one to believe that current building codes are so unclear that any interpretation is just fine...

I am surprised more people don't die everyday in this city from building issues...
