Question:
In my inspections I have come across Liquid flex used to connect the generators conductors from generator to junction box on back of homes, the problem is I have turned down the inspection when the GAS piping is uses with tie wraps to hold and support the Sealtight. Strapping the sealtight to a gas line is using another’s trades material to hold and support workmanship.
The readers get this question daily, and they have chosen to use another inspectors who allows this practice. Can you Cite code article to cover this practice?

Answer:
Hey Bill thanks for your question. If you are referring to liquidtight flexible metal conduit (LFMC) it must be secured and supported as stated in 350.30. The words "approved means" are used but specific items that must be used or not used are not given. It would even be difficult to cite 110.12 for not being neat and workmanlike unless it was poorly installed. sorry for not being much help, maybe our readers have some ideas such as rules in other codes.
