I put a new service in about 2 years ago for my drying bins. When the inspector came to look I had used a plastic nut on the steel pipe nipple between the meter socket and the main disconnect.
I did not want the wires to get skinned on the nipple and did not have enough threads to locknut it and plastic cap.
He said I should have used steel nut to bond the boxes together. He was going to make me pull those 4o wires back out and put on steel.
I said wait a minute, my frame the boxes are all mounted on is steel and bolted together. And besides I could have use a plastic nipple and it would have passed as well.
