I used to ask my ( old) boss about if neatness matters because I have seen what looks like art and I have seen horror shows that pass inspection…..my boss answered that yes, it matters, to the two most important people…….you and me

[@brandonbaird3003]

Inspectors are about code that’s all. Professional standards is not code however it’s good practice. If an install is code compliant then it should pass. Workmanlike manner is very opinionated and hard to enforce. Some states it’s not allowed to be enforced by statue’s. Code and inspectors is bare minimum with exception of an local general code. Follow the NEC (the state is currently on) and professional standards generally in your area and the only thing you’ll ever fail are the local codes that you happen to not know about. Don’t matter where you are at.

110.12 is code for basically clean and professional manner usually doesn’t get called , not usually garbage to look at but inspector can call it and is very discretionary

nice job.. you covered a lot of electrical code in a short video !

[@user-ky6cc4fm8i]

Hi, I was wondering how many holes can you make in the top plate for wires going to the main panel. I didn't find much in the electrical code book accept they should be at least 1 1/4" from side of the stud.

[@MikeL-vu7jo]

Very Good

[@Faruk651]

This is definitely Canadian. Metal boxes and loop at the boxes. Those loops are huge tho.

[@tablatronix]

Those outlet service loops look huge, 18"?

[@Faruk651]

You can’t double up wires on studs? How do you guys wire stuff in a 2x4 wall?

[@jphomebrew]

Why is it wet inside? We aren’t allowed to rough in unless the house is dried in

[@johnkulpowich5260]

Would like to see more close up shots
Box & hruund make up splicing. Stacking

[@dredlew]

I want to upgrade my panel from 100amp to 200amp. I have an old box and not only am I upgrading box but the amps. My question is will the inspector come in the house to test all the outlets or report me to the county for any other building code violations. Its a 100 year old house. Im just wondering if they would do that? Thank you

Is that junction box installed low enough in that room above the door rough in? ruel of thumb is from the ceiling 4" minimum down FROM the top of the installed smoke detector and no more than 12" down from the bottom of the installed smoke detector.

[@conquerallelectrical]

Here in Nova Scotia smoke detectors must be on the ceiling or a maximum of within 1 foot or less to the ceiling if mounted on the wall.

[@ramirez7852]

The minimum is 4" of the wall because is always air in those corners

[@ropesman]

Are you guys asked to run wires at the same level as the strapping or is that preference?

[@conquerallelectrical]

Between the strapping actually as a code rule. Or on top of the rafters if they are less than 1 meter space for storage and mechanically protected.

[@markcarson8566]

Very interesting, just out of curiosity, what part of the country are you in? Not judging but we terminate at the outlet a little different in Aspen Colorado, still very interesting.

[@conquerallelectrical]

We are up in Nova Scotia Canada

[@markcarson8566]

@@conquerallelectrical Ohhhh ok thanks for the info!

[@emilioescobedo3024]

What about Fire stop?

[@briandillard8125]

Is this Canadian code?

[@Alex.AL_26]

any particular reason why you are not running the wires in conduit? Around here everyone runs them in conduit.
