Inspector failed to approve rough wiring due to several of the gang-able PVC boxes fast clamps where knocked out during installation. Any approved fix for this or do boxes have to be replaced?

Are you talking about the little square piece that is held on by two little pieces of plastic?

 

[JHFWIC]

That is why you don't use the little blue !

The only fix I know is to replace them.

The one you carefully set in place before inspection?

Inspector is a ****. Replace inspector.

Im just wondering if were talking about the same box. The blues I have always used have a ~3/8" square ko that you can fit a cable through and offers no clamping action. Are those supposed to stay?

I dunno. We sometimes use these. If the tab breaks off we kinda sorta maybe put it back on for...erm...aesthetic reasons....

The multi gang blue Carlons do offer clamping. The single gangs do not.

We break plenty in low temps, our inspectors simply aren't going to focus on minutia because they've bigger code fish to fry

Energy codes may require them to be "repaired".

True


and probably more a concern than anything electrical DeepOne

So foam the f*cker, and have done with it!

[sbrn33]

That is what I was thinking, foam or maybe even duct seal. I would think duct seal would be perfect as long as it is stapled properly.

Some of the people we work with foam behind the box as part of the insulated process. If the vapor barrier thing is so important, then foam it. As long as the damn foam doesn't get inside it excessively.

 

[Meadow]

Replace, it makes inspectors happy.

Just use an airtight box.
