Although I suspect the code would frown on the switch being positioned

When you have an outlet and a switch...doesn't the switch go from side to side (not up/down)?


I'm guessing that would depend on which way you mount the device,
vertically or horizontally.


....sounds like he's talking "box the long way/vertical"...then the switch would turn-off on a horizontal plane.
