Article 210.63 - 2008 NEC

[Gregg Harris]

406.8(B)(2)(b) A receptacle installed in a wet location where the product intended to be plugged into it while in use(e.g. portable tools) shall have an enclosure that is weatherproof when the attachment plug is removed. An in use type cover is permitted but not required.

This need to be edited from quote if possible.

That will cost you. It is worth the price and you will be called something Goofy.

First off 406.8(B)(2)(b) applies to other receptacles other than 15 or 20 ampere 125 and 250 volt receptacles. The receptacles on rooftop units to comply with 210.63 would have to be 125 volt 15 or 20 ampere receptacle so 406.8(B)(1) would apply and an in-use cover is required and not optional.

Thus the reason for wanting it edited from the quote. I was attempting to insight conversation on the cover issue and replied with Quote instead of reply and could not edit yet.

Agreed.....and such a simple thing....I don't know why it has to be such a fight....On another note, they can probably power it from the lighting circuit for the light they no doubt put up there for servicing the unit........
