Not a CODE CHANGE Using the color Orange in other than a high leg situation.

Got a call from a local contractor and he told me that the inspector just turned him down for using Orange as a switch leg to a switched outlet.  I asked him what the reason was and he said the inspector told him that Orange could only be used for a high leg circuit.  I’m not sure where he got his information but I am unaware of this section in the Code book.  If anyone out there knows why it can only be used for the color of a high leg please send me an email.  Service was single phase in a residence.

I told the contractor to ask which section regulated this and will update you in the future.

Some great pictures from around the trade.
