Default Re: Romex Insulation in service panel....

How is this then...if you install NM Cable in an enclosure in Alexandria, VA....the Code Supervisor (ME) will require that you mechanically connect the NM Cable to the enclosure. I wont get into the weak arguments of 1/4" as i think it would be moot...once you met the requirements of 312.5(C) anyway. I will defer to Section 90.4 and bid you a fair-well...

The old saying is ... "The code is not whats written in the book, its what the inspector says is required. But because an inspector requires something, doesn't mean thats what written in the book" ...

I am absolutely amazed sometimes by how much thought goes into doing things wrong ...
