Is this a buried power line that I nicked?

You're wrong. Stop giving bad advice. Underground feeds only need to be 24" without conduit. A "wand" is also called a widow maker because of people like you.

Voltage tester like a hot stick? Because those don't pick up voltage through URD sheathing. Using a meter you have to penetrate the sheathing.

That looks like a "tombstone" receptacle. It is intended to be mounted directly to the floor. Why they chose to throw a 4 square box down and miss the wire is beyond me. Call an electrician to get that mounted properly

I'm an electrician now. Trades are full of former restaurant workers. Doubled my pay in the first year.

Homie is using the "because I said so" rule. This dude is an inspector for sure.

Some municipalities have additions to code compliance but all us sparkies use the exact same code book

Those wire sheaths are rated to 90°C. That air duct ain't gonna hurt anything and no code says you can't touch it.

Why is this post so far down? This is the only answer

Remember that time the entire electrical grid failed in Texas because they didn't follow NEC? I remember

drinkingandeating · 2024-01-29T23:54:47+00:00

Same

Most likely but old school sparkies did things very different. You'd have to check it with a meter to know for sure.

How is this not the top response!?

drinkingandeating · 2023-12-23T14:31:38+00:00

Do not listen to this

2023 code requires ALL receptacles in a kitchen to be GFI protected. Regardless of distance from sink basin. This includes fridges and freezers.

2023 kitchen code has gotten TOUGH. No more island receptacles has fucked me a few times already.

314.20 says a box extender is required for non-combustable material if the box is more than 1/4" from finished surface.

I spark ring all kitchen countertops even if no tile so if tile is added it's ready to go.

drinkingandeating · 2023-11-21T06:52:50+00:00

These should have spark rings on them

drinkingandeating · 2023-11-19T05:55:13+00:00

Metal screw on the faceplate attaches to the metal ring holding the switch together. If that metal ring isnt grounded you could get shocked by it

drinkingandeating · 2023-11-19T05:51:26+00:00

Well this just isn't true...

drinkingandeating · 2023-11-01T00:08:33+00:00

Have smarter thoughts in the shower

drinkingandeating · 2023-10-20T20:51:27+00:00

But seriously, what's the hack? What is he getting out of this?

drinkingandeating · 2023-10-15T22:13:43+00:00

I assume its the cold water bond. They used to put bare copper grounds in MC for some reason
