Interior panel defect?

[jfunderburk (Joe Funderburk, CMI)]

I say yes.

[jjonas (Jeffrey Jonas)]

Seriously?

[jpope (Jeffrey Pope, CMI)]

If you’re talking about the missing KO and the other “opening” in the panel, I agree, they need to be properly sealed.

[jfunderburk (Joe Funderburk, CMI)]

Just throwing it out there that the opening is not just to keep out bugs, but to contain sparking/arching. I see this all the time.

I couldn’t believe Joe was asking the question. I figured he was pulling our leg.

I agree, it’s a “no-brainer,” but who am I to judge

Here’s another problem:

312.3 Position in Wall.
In walls of concrete, tile, or other noncombustible material, cabinets shall be installed so that the front edge of the cabinet is not set back of the finished surface more than 6 mm (¼ in.). In walls constructed of wood or other combustible material, cabinets shall be flush with the finished surface or project therefrom.

I say yes.

Does anyone ever call out lack of a plastic bushing at the inside end of the BX?

As long as it is AC cable (BX) it is a defect if the redhead is not in place, they are not required for MC cable. (But I use em).
