NEC IS 6’7” to top breaker . For years I thought it was 6’6” to top breaker

Just buy a ground bars instead of removing the arm. Makes panels easier and look a lot better. Especially if it becomes loaded and have to add down circuits down the road

Also take some of your left over 2inch pvc and put it in the center of panel KO and run it up into the attic for future access. Everyone is always add more circuits years down the road.

36 inches, doesn't have to be centered

Extra holes will need to be fire caulked

"New Alloy" was new in the 80s, and does not require deox , no ox.... but I still use it today too.

It will be up to the AHJ but I don't believe you can drill extra holes. That is, you'll need to fire calk where your NM passes through the upper/lower plates.

Your height measurement is to the centerline of the top/uppermost breaker (in this case, the main CB), not to the top of the enclosure... you weren't quite clear on that.
"DeOx", "NoALox", etc. is NO LONGER REQUIRED on modern AL conductors. Unless you're using old AL wire, it hasn't been necessary since the mid/late 80's. Aluminum conductor material changed to the "modern" AA-8000 in the mid-80's, so no more compound. Nothing says you "can't" use it, but it's no longer necessary nor required.
Oh, and guys... ONLY on aluminum conductors... never on copper (yes, I've seen that done 😅)

De-Ox use with aluminum. Only if required by the label on the panel. Some lugs require it and some do not. If inspectors wants it, fight it, or do it, your choice.

You should update this video. Good points 👍 things have changed since you made this. Not in what you're mentioning. As you know. Good stuff

I don't bother determining which circuit is standard CB, which circuit is GFCI, which is AFCI, or which is dual function anymore these days. I just do all single poles as dual function and all 2-poles as GFCI and call it a day.

I do that especially for new panels for older buildings/homes because you have no idea if any of the circuits had other circuit branches added to them requiring a dual function.

You do not need 15” off center each way. It can start at the edge of the panel and go 30 “ he other way. Get it right or don’t tell it wrong

someone was saying for that 15in clearance left right that it could be 0in on one side and 30in on the other. Didnt sound right to me

Isn't romex supposed to be supported 12 inches from the panel?

Is there a rule for using a plastic grommet opposed to metal butterfly at knock out?
Thought I heard if more than 2 NM enter a metal enclosure, must use metal butterfly grommet…..

Its 30 inches each way from either side

I would never install a sub panel with a aluminum bus bar.
