  • How to pass - [1]

Guidelines

  • No devices are installed, just wires and boxes
  • PLug holes between floors with insulation of fire block foam to prevent fire spread [2]
  • All wires have wire nuts on them at rough-in
  • Wires cable-stapled to studs
  • Wires 1.25" below surface, or need protective metal plates. [3]
  • Check appropriate conductor fill of boxes. [4]
  • Rough-in electrical has wires run and boxes attached, wires sticking out 8" and attached to box, with at least 1/4" of insulation after the attachment to box. Use large boxes so you always have enough room for the necessary wires.
  • Cable anchors 8" from box and no more than 4' spacing thereafter [5]
  • The horizontal runs should be at least 20 to 24 inches above the floor - [6]
