    June 5, 2025
    In the latest edition of Moving Violations, Russ inspects a raceway that has a Code violation. The installation does not meet the requirements of Sec. 300.6 because the screws used to support the raceway have become rusted and broken, suggesting they were not suitable for the seaside environment. This installation will need to be redone with material appropriate for the setting.
