If your asking, You probably already know the answer.:laughing:

 

What are you, an ex counter guy?

 

L16's are very similar to the old set screw MC connectors and L17's are the same thing for bigger cable but they take a 3/4 locknut and knockout. They're used for either BX (similar to MC cable but not BX like you're thinking) or Loomex (romex) They actually call them that here. Threw me for a loop at first too.

Sometimes having knowledge from both sides of the border has its advantages. :whistling2:

 

He is talking about AC connectors. Those part numbers are common talk in Canada

And the 1110 is a surface mount device box

 

Yeah it is AC technically, but I've just gotten used to everybody and their dog calling it BX around here. I still slip and call it MC sometimes cause it's pretty similar. :laughing:

They say 4x4 I'm used to 4 square. They almost always say conduit instead of pipe. Smaller grounds are allowed. There are lots of little things like that I keep running into.

 

If your talking flex connectors then yes it's hack. Wait no it's much worse, almost handymanish.
Your not an electrician are you?
