Which Whips Do you Like?

Someone also said to use romex wire through the whip.

This would be against code in my area.

Wire in the whip has to be stranded wire and not solid wire.

Also if your using Romex u have a white wire that is line voltage and that needs to then be colored black

You could even use regular 10-2 with ground romex to make it even faster. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

we have to have stranded wire from the disconnect to the unit.

Yeah I wasn't aware of that code. We always use premade whips so it's not an issue. But there are a lot in my area that are done with solid wire so I never really thought about it being against code... But I'm glad I got corrected on that in case I ever need to make a whip.

seen commercial and residential in which a piece of romex is used inside the seal tight. Inspectors are so lazy in my area they dont even look at anything.

they bring the gas sniffer in and pass it over the gas line a few times. look at the outdoor unit, so long as it dont look like crap they dont even take the cover off.

I'm not into whips. Pain isn't my thing... lol. I have only seen the cheap stuff diversatech puts out. I prefer to use MLTC on high voltage. Its not always the case but its what I prefer. I would still make my own. The time difference is negligible. I could probably do both in near the same time frame.

I prefer leather over plastic.

Not THHN (unless it’s dual rated THHN/THWN, nor Romex NM-B. neither are rated for wet locations. While it is acceptable to use Romex UF in flexible conduit for short distances, it’s better to use THWN.

I was told by a union electrician that the new THHN meets the THWN standard for wet locations. Sort of like all new circuit breakers are HVAC rated to handle the inrush current.
