I was looking for trick question, so i picked 4
Several jurisdictions here in California do not accept high loop DW drain line systems. I can’t remember the last time I found newer construction without a sink top mounted air gap valve.
Sorry BK I will have to ask my Pet Monkey the one that bends pipe and pulls wires.

That is just mean Charley. 
Yeah I suppose so, Life is fun.
My other brother gave me a RED box for making that statement he’s no fun at all:)
Will… I have never heard of a high loop ban as not only wouldn’t make sense but install instructions tell you to do just that.
No loop, gets a write up.
I do not no much more as I only installed them every day for seven years as a Sear installer.
Some models have the loop buit in however.It is attached at the back of the unit.

I am curious Marc; is exposed nm cable allowed in your area as long as it is inside a cabinet?
If so, that is nuts, at leaste to me. To be honest I do not know the new codes in my area, but exposed NM cable is a deffinet write up for me as I think it is a safety hazard.
If it is allowed I have jacked up many a farked up microwave install…
Especially in a damp location. Or easily accessible area. This has both.
It’s allowed exposed almost anywhere in a dwelling in my neck of the woods. The people that inspect here take a pretty* laissez-faire* approach to determining what is and isn’t exposed to physical damage. You may know that the NEC gives no guidance on the matter, except with regard to romex emerging from a floor, in which case it must be protected for 6" AFF. I try to take a more reasonable approach and protect exposed romex in cabinets, for instance, by some means. Other exposed runs, such as those isolated by height, I make no such effort. I know that many areas have their own rules on this matter, and it varies pretty widely. This is one of those things where you just have to use your head. Just because you can see it, doesn’t automatically mean that it’s exposed to physical damage. It’s just simply exposed. The picture in this thread I would personally consider exposed to physical damage because of what I’ve seen jammed in kitchen cupboards, but that’s just my opinion. Substitute your own if it pleases you more. After all, you’re a home inspector composing a report that contains, in part, your best opinions on what has been observed.
For crying out loud, under a cabinet is not a damp location or the building code would have you build your cabinets out of pressure treated. :mrgreen: It might be damp under some sinks, but that just means that they’re too oblivious or too lazy to have the leak fixed.
Oh oh oh…I know…it is plecrtricaling
Man that was really hard to spell.
That is what i thought until a code inspector told me that once with a garbage disposal i had wired to a box in the wall. he said it had to be in conduit or an approved plug-in and the rec. had to be in an adjacent cabinet. Go figure
Well, that being said I would jack it up as improper install. As far as I am concernd any exposed Romex where folks have access needs to be protected. Period!
Bx is ok.Often it is run behind drawers.
I wouldn’t have any idea BK, this one is definitely CMI or CBI related reporting material…
Electricial?..whats that?..Electrical with a beer?..
I think the Northern hemisphere that wire is supposed to twist in the opposite direction.
