Electrical Rough-In Inspection Checklist

Pre-cover inspection checklist for electrical rough-in work before wall or ceiling close-in, focused on conduit fill, box fill, support intervals, grounding, bonding, and separation from other utilities in accordance with NEC and applicable OSHA/NFPA requirements.

Inspection Details and Scope

• Project name / area inspected
• Inspection date and time
• Inspector name and role
• Work area is ready for rough-in inspection before concealment

Conduit, Raceway, and Cable Installation

• Conduit fill does not exceed NEC allowable fill for installed raceway size and conductor count
• Raceways and cables are protected from physical damage at penetrations, edges, and framing members
• Conduit and cable routing is continuous and free of unsupported spans, kinks, or sharp bends
• Raceway type installed matches the approved plan and location conditions
• Conductor identification and labeling are visible where required
• Conduit and cable support intervals are installed per NEC and manufacturer requirements

Boxes, Device Locations, and Fill

• Outlet, junction, and device box fill is within allowable capacity
• Boxes are securely fastened and set to proper depth for finish surface
• Box locations align with approved plans and device heights
• Openings in boxes are properly closed with approved fittings or plugs
• Splices and terminations are contained within approved boxes or enclosures

Grounding, Bonding, and Continuity

• Equipment grounding conductors are installed and continuous to all required boxes and equipment
• Bonding jumpers, bushings, and fittings are installed where required
• Metal raceways, enclosures, and boxes are bonded and mechanically secure
• Grounding electrode conductor routing is protected from physical damage
• Continuity and terminations appear ready for testing prior to energization

Separation, Coordination, and Worksite Safety

• Electrical rough-in maintains required separation from plumbing, gas, HVAC, and low-voltage systems
• Penetrations through studs, joists, or fire-rated assemblies are properly protected and sealed as required
• Working clearances and access to panels, junction boxes, and equipment are maintained
• Temporary site conditions do not expose rough-in to damage, moisture, or unsafe contact

Final Readiness and Corrective Actions

• All identified deficiencies and non-conformances are documented
• Corrective actions assigned to responsible party with target completion date
• Inspection result
