Generator Inlet

[theoldwizard1]

Installing a 240V 30A generator inlet. Through the brick veneer, through the rim joist, to the panel.

Is 10/3 NM-B "code approved" ?

The NEC is your best friend.

Not sure what you want a picture of ?

The brick veneer exterior ? The rim joist that the wire will be going through ? The load center (which will be upgraded) ?

The rim joist that the wire will be going through YES

Nm-b is fine if it's a straight shot through the lumber and brick.

Maybe you can find a sparky to install this for $50.

And use 14/3. It costs way less.

You think this is only a 20-minute job?

One better, use some old lamp cord, just parallel them for 4 conductors (if you think you need all 4).

Doesn't an outdoor surface mounted box following a similar rule to conduit which makes it a wet location ?

I'm using the magical productivity rates that Wiz uses. (Me, I'm a slow ****, and getting slower everyday.)

Not if you come in directly to the back of the box from the interior. (At least in my neck of the woods.)

Sorry, should have added to my post!

Never asked for cost or rates. I don't have time to read the NEC.

Everybody wants to be a comedian !

That is kind of what I am asking !

Yes, at most. With customer supplied parts. And I'm not paying a dime in labor more as any idiot could do it.

It can be done in 15 minutes if you're not slacking.
