Hey, did you know this product is UL Approved? It means it meets safety standards set by Underwriters Laboratories. So you can rest assured that it’s been tested and deemed safe for use.
Brings back memories…I was working on a tear-out and re-wire at a local hospital that had been around since the 1930’s…old panelboards, literal bathtub capacitors, you name it. ot to one of the Emergency rooms…had to shut everything down and remove it because it was going to be turned into a “tranquility space” after the renovations…started shutting off switchgear and sections started powering down, no issues. The air conditioner was still running, so I assumed it was fed from a different sub panel in another wing…but the (3) #1 wires were heading towards the switchgear that I had just turned off…started removing ceiling tiles, physically tracing the conduit back to the switchgear…and then the conduit ended, with the wires just hanging out of the pipe and going BEYOND the switchgear about 5 feet…to where the main feeder pipe for the switchgear just abruptly ended, and the three 500 MCM
Sounds great! Apply some Super 33 and consider it finished.
I bet they’re both mentioned, just not together.
Hey, you don’t need to boss around the electrician. So now you’re suggesting that ood + ood equals Bad, and Right + Right equals Wrong? 😝😝
Simply cover it with duct tape and you’re all set. Haha
‘t forget, electrical tape is important for its insulation properties.
I see what you mean. I was just joking around. I’ve come across situations where electrical work was done with duct tape and no proper boxes.
Remember, Rule #1: no glue on the cables. If you do need something sticky, make sure it’s a type of superglue that’s rated for outdoor use. 🧐

‘t forget the Noalox antioxidant 👀
You’ll want those to be black Tywraps for outdoor applications.
It’s looking good! Just remember to trim the zip tie (THAT IS CODE) 😁😁😁😁
Didn’t think anyone would notice, not even the AHJ 😂
OHSA is really concerned about the ziptie, as it could easily cause injury if touched or serviced. 😎
You know, it could do the trick.
A x connector wasn’t used

Make sure they are connected end to end to prevent any electrons from escaping.
Wago is on top of it.

No antioxidant compound?

Seeing sparks from Sparky?
You didn’t attempt the x connector trick
