Auto-Ground Re-Post
I was hoping for a quick definative answer so I can proceed....so I am re-posting my question below:
Does the auto-ground connection on devices (switches & outlets) meet the NEC code?
The devices I am using have the frame to the ground screw connection -and are UL approved.
So...do I REALLY need to connect a green wire from the gound screw on the device to the metal box?
My metal boxes are all properly grounded with the Romex ground.
I realize the device will only be grounded when installed in the metal box....but I would never be working on the box unless the feed was off anyway.
Thanks.
