Know the Code White Paper Now Available
May 16, 2011-FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
O’FALLON, MO – King Innovation® has released a FREE informational white paper to help educate Electricians, Distributors and Electrical Inspectors of changes in the National Electric Code. Specifically, this “Know the Code” document instructs industry professionals on how to remain within the code requirements when working in wet and damp locations. Find it HERE.
The free “Know the Code” document provides a solid answer to the question “what is a wet location” and “what should I do when I come across a damp location.” It ensures that professionals who follow the 2008 and 2011 code will have all the information and tools they need to pass inspection. For example, the NEC outlines a damp location as an exterior location that is only partially protected, or an interior location that is subject to moderate degrees of moisture. King Innovation’s “Know the Code” clarifies that, by code, a wet location is any location that is underground, in concrete slabs, unprotected, exposed to weather, etc.
Through extensive research into the 2008 and 2011 NEC Handbook, it has been determined that when making a splice in a wet or damp location it is not suggested but required that a UL 486D Listed splicing method be used. The goal of “Know the Code” is to provide information to the industry, keeping professionals informed of all requirements in order to reduce the risk of electric shock, corrosion, and product failures. Knowing and following these requirements helps keep employees safe on the job.
This paper is a simple document that is easy to read, but the valuable information contained could save hours of labor fixing an incorrect or failed job! It’s something that no electrical industry professional should be without. CLICK HERE to download your free copy today.
