Find the Code violations in this video.

In this episode, Russ finds a run of PVC that violates several sections of the 2017 NEC. One portion of the run is unsupported, which is a clear violation of Sec. 352.30. Another portion is tie-wrapped to a piece of EMT, which violates the requirements of Sec. 300.11. Lastly, a 45-degree fitting in this run of conduit doesn’t appear to be an approved electrical component.
