joshthesparky4 · Josh The Sparky

OPENING HOOK
This is where installs fall apart. ⚠️
Most field mistakes live right here.

CORE IDEA
Outside installations must handle weather, movement, and damage risks.
Article 225 tightens the rules to keep systems protected and reliable.

CODE CONNECTION
225.20–225.22 — Protection + Support
• Conductors → protected from physical damage
• Exterior cables → must be properly supported
• Raceways in wet locations → must be wet-rated and able to drain

225.24–225.27 — Install Details
• Outdoor lampholders → specific location rules apply
• Lamps → must be below conductors
• Trees/shrubs → NOT permitted as support
• Raceways entering buildings → must be sealed

FINAL TAKEAWAY
If it’s outside, assume it’ll get abused.
Install it so that it can survive the real world. ⚡
