I'm in a dispute with an electrician, who wired my house with an
underground feed. After signing a contract in which he promised to do all
work, and supply all parts, to refeed the existing house from a new
building, he imposed an additional charge of $350 for an "underground pull
box", which is basically a 15" x 24" cement rectangle with a plastic lid.
The pull box had to be installed, according to the city, because there
were too many 45- and 90-degree turns in the wire run to do it in one
single pull.

Does anyone know whether this is mandated by the NEC? It would make
resolution of the dispute easier if so.


thanks,
