Mr. Inspector

A lot of rocks under, around and over the piping, no good. I see tape over the openings, do you require a pressure test on pool piping as required in the ISPSC?
The pipes that have tape originate in this device. I don't know what it does. It is not part of the pressurized system. While the process pipe is always under pressure at the pre-gunite inspection, we do not inspect it as it is not associated with a potable water system. CPC prohibits pressurizing plastic pipe with air.

Does anyone require a pressure test on the pool piping as required in the ISPSC?
That is a chart showing where the ISPSC has been adopted. (by state, county and city)
I haven’t worked in a jurisdiction that enforces the ISPSC. There’s 35 in Ca. So it might happen.

Seems worth sharing - this came from the fire marshal. Appears to be a flexible duct from an outdoor wood burning stove to a box over the resident's chair.

The above section is in Part II of Article 300, and Part II only applies to conductors over 1000 volts. The NEC has no numerical requirement on bending radius of individual conductors under 1000V. Article 314 does have a requirement on the bending space to leave at terminations in cabinets.
Cheers, Wayne
You are correct.

This connector will let you bring (6) typical NM cables into a single 3/4" KO. Given the extra width, you might only be able to use a single row of KOs on the top the cabinet:

Also, per this chart, Arlington NM844 will let you bring (10) 12/2 cables into a 1-1/4" KO.

Is there a listing associated with the NM844? If the answer is yes I would suppose that the (10)12/ 2 would be legal. If there is no listing it is up to the inspector. That type of fitting is prone to loose cables.....The cable is not secured well. Toss in one round cable and it goes away....include a 10/3 and where are you on the chart? It is plastic.....The smarter electricians use metal fittings....
If I may ask, how long has it taken you to get through the Average Day thread?

Well, all I can easily say is that the Arlington catalog page shows the UL listed symbol next to the product:
Do you know of a metal, listed fitting that would let you bring 10 NM cables through a single KO?
I think I started over a week ago, reading it on and off. I skimmed a lot of the text, mostly focusing on the train wreck pictures.
Cheers, Wayne
That is one thing about this thread, a LOT of train wrecks.
There's a couple of similar threads...smaller.... The pictures start out polluted with a water mark.
Oh, and welcome to the forum.
"Do you know of a metal, listed fitting that would let you bring 10 NM cables through a single KO?"
No. To be honest, I really don't know a whole lot about electrical stuff like fittings etc. And more....When you brought up the mistake that I made with wire bending radius I went looking for a code that would help and found none. So there I was again, shooting from the hip. Oh well I had the right idea.
Oh, and welcome to the forum.

This is the pole that Edison is going to replace. This is how they dig a hole for the new pole. That's a vacuum truck. The hole is cut with high pressure water and the wet dirt is sucked up. If I can get by there tomorrow, I'll get pictures of the crane.....it is huge.

What's so special about a freeway sign? I could have gotten closer but I didn't want to cut myself.

Well, crud. Can't delete/edit original message either.
I have been writing a story that includes the solar industry. Part of that is the habit of installing solar where it doesn't belong. At noon yesterday I came across this. It faces Southwest.
