I cannot speak for NABCEP either, but if I understand the intent of the building official, he or she is seeking a level of assurance of the design submittal. I think that would be a misapplication of the concept of NABCEP. NABCEP allows those who have passed the exams to use the NABCEP logo in var
We used an OZ-Gedney expansion coupling for 1-1/4" EMT on a recent job. The
part # is TX-125 for 1-1/4", and it would be TX-150 for 1-1/2". It is the
same as the OZ-Gedney AX expansion coupling for rigid conduit, but uses a
rigid nipple and EMT connectors to adapt to EMT. The assembly is UL listed.
Are there any usage charts to tell you when or how to use expansion joints
in EMT? The NEC has one for PVC, but what do you refer to for EMT?

Hi wrenches:

See the FPN for NEC 300.7(B). You take the values in Table 352.44 and

Okay, if I have a PE Stamp that means I went to school and worked under
a mentor for an amount of time to qualify for the PE exam. Passed the
exam and I got my stamp.

That sounds about right, a NABCEP board member told me they meet and vote on

Nick,
The passing grade is 70, they don't change that. I think they just wan't to see
if any one question was consistently answered wrong and so maybe there was a
problem with the question and they may decide that everyone gets that question
right. I would guess that rarely happens.
As far as
The difference is that comparing the PE exam to the NABCEP exam is like
comparing brain surgeon board certification for a doctor to a first aid course
exam.
PE is not only a professional exam, it also holds legal status in all 50
states, whereas the NABCEP exam does not.

But to clarify, the all plastic type.
The other way is to install a platform on the wall, mount the water storage
device there ( 5 gallon) and then run the flexible water hose with valve in it.
Either way works well.
