So that's the lowdown from the inside. Thanks for bringing the ANSI element to the front on that. Compliance with industry standards is what we reach for as industry professionals. We're not cowboys and renegades. We're a community of fellow professionals given voluntary guidelines by a leadership body (in America) called ANSI.
It is good to know that wirestops, if installed correctly are approved by ANSI as a method of mitigating risk.
I didn't know that. I thought the wirestop method was too new to have even reached the shores of ANSIville. Thank you, Treseer.

installing these newer systems can be ANSI-compliant. If they work well for you, document that experience and submit a comment to your group?s representative to the ANSI committee, so the next edition of the support standard will be more complete.

All I have are pictures and video, no test data, nothing scientific or quantitative (except wound-size calculations), just empirical data. I document through images, but am not conducting research of any sort.
That make any contribution of mine rather topical. you could say I'm one chapter ahead of the students on this one.
I would ask of Treevet and other more deeply experienced cable guys to stay in. You have so much more experience than I. We can walk through these doors together.
