i tell those who don’t understand the code to open their measuring tape and pretend it is a lamp, radio or something else electric by locking the tape measure on 6 feet, grab the tape by the end and drag the case around the floor by the wall pretending you want to plug in to a receptacle. You should be able to stop anywhere on the wall and plug it in anywhere on the wall without using an extention cord. ln kitchen counter top lock the tape measure on 2 feet simulating a 2 foot appliance cord.
if you know the codes you odnt need to read the blueprintsunless they are specific to the homeowners wants and needs unless youre omn a commercial job
Aha.That is really smart!! And then it actually relates to safety where people are less likely to use extension cords.On the other hand it of course makes construction more expensive and puts even more constraints on the new installation. I assume that it only applies if you do extensive reconstructions, not if you only install an extra outlet or something ?BTW: In Sweden running a loose cord within the wall, like in the video, is not accepted. PVC tubing is always applied here /K
sorry I posted this twice:The extent of the remodel can be dictated by the local code official. Typically this would apply to a more extensive remodel, but in the US the code officials can interpret the code at their own discretion. i.e. We are in Maryland, each county can adopt different code years, 05, 07, etc. Annapolis MD is within Anne Arundel county and the city of Annapolis has stricter requirements than the county it is within.
I actually learned today in class what PVC tubing is is like a plastic type of tube which is heated by a hair dryer look alike device i forget the name once the pipe is heated you can bend the PVC in any angle you want
