I am putting this in layman terms.LOL, not for my benifit I hope?
I called my inspector today and asked him why I had to change the pastic boxes to metal on the IG outlets on a job he inspected for me 2 months ago. I am putting this in layman terms. If there is any METAL on an outlet not used for powering the outlet it must be grounded no exceptions.AHJ.... He has the final say.... Did you ask the inspector if he would approve a bonding strap, wire, from the yoke of the recept to the grounding conductor?
He also said if I could find an outlet without metal tabs for mounting then the way I had it would have been fine.

Curiosity killed the cat... You are an electrician, why were you using an IG recept on a non metallic raceway installation?
As far as NEC 2008 406.2 (2) if a non conductive cover plate is used it is ok to use the IG recept.
We don't know what the AHJ would have to say where Tmesselt lives.
Curious where did you read in Tmesselt's responses where he said his hospital grade recepts were IG?
