Post 11 cites the NEC ?, HI's don't do CODE, they should understand that the original comment was asking if the SMR Box extension includes the cubic inch capacity to be considered as adding addional space like we find on other boxes and raised covers.

Post #11 was directed to the comment made by the original poster which said;

by showing the code Article that address that type of installation.

It went on to answer this question asked by the original poster;

I will admit that the poster of Post #11 was addressing the type of raceway and enclosure as the poster of post #11 took for granted that the original poster of this thread already knew what switches and receptacles were. Was the poster of post #11 mistaken about the knowledge of the original poster?


The original poster made the comment concerning the code not addressing this type of installation. Is it now the opinion of the original poster that the code should never have been brought into the conversation or does the original poster admit that the code does in fact mention this type of installation?

Was it the intent of the original poster to mention box fill in his post?
Is not box fill a code issue or is the original poster saying that box fill is a matter of opinion?

Hey Cowboy! Just having a little fun don't be offended! Your comments are of value and when there is something that can be explained with out citing the Code, (and believe me that's hard for me) we have to remember that the people here, many of them want to learn.

So between us and other code people we should keep that in mind.

Well said! I have not memorized the NEC but I know how to look up a code if need be. Of course all I am suppose to do is call out any item that "in my opinion" is a deficiency for further review by a qualified contractor. That being said knowledge is power ... and the more knowledge I possess the better service I provide to my clients.

Joe your help , much like Paul's who has helped me personally by phone a couple of times is much appreciated.
I just ask for explanations other than a boring code number to look up.
Stories are a good thing, as are illustrations

Sure, that's what I have tryed to do, and whenever possible I will try to make it clearer. Is there something in the comments here that still needs clarification? It is dificult to explain each item so that readers are clear because of the differences in our backgrounds. Again, I will try and as I mentioned before hope that others will do the same.

I dun't need no stinkin numbers mang!
