Maybe the bolt doesn't project far enough above the plate for the threads to catch once a washer is installed?

I am not sure about there being enough bolt above the plate...I am sure that there is a whole lot of hole for the bolt. The hole is permitted to be 1/16" larger than the bolt.
And that's why I ask them to remove a few large square washers.
It's the year of the ox.
We landed a space craft on Mars and here is a picture to prove it.
Contractor did an entire dwelling re-pipe with stainless steel pipe and fittings. I have never seen such a thing.

I know there are a bunch of 2024 code proposals around stainless pipe....

P2903.3.1 Maximum pressure.
The static water pressure shall be not greater than 80 psi (551 kPa). Where the main pressure exceeds 80 psi (551 kPa), an approved pressure-reducing valve conforming to ASSE 1003 or CSA B356 shall be installed on the domestic water branch main or riser at the connection to the water service pipe.
We have some areas in the city that the operating pressure is 90 to 95 PSI

The picture has a TPR-valve one would find on a water heater, not a conventional pressure reducing valve. It even has the BTU limits on it.
You would think that if he can afford all of that stainless steel piping he could afford the proper pressure reducer...
The valve may be related to a water heater that has a Watts 210.
New to me.... here is some info to those who are not familiar.

The water heater in the picture is a code violation. Not more than one flexible appliance connector is permitted. From the Watts to the controls is always hard pipe.
What did they suppose that I would think about this?

I am not sure what this is all about. I do know that an extensive addition was built with an indoor swimming pool on the second floor. There is a 400 amp service and several sub-panels. I was asked to inspect a solar project when they sent this picture. I found that the permits for the addition are still listed as open when I look at the computer records....so naturally I declined to inspect the solar until the roof that it's on has has passed a final inspection. The contractor is adamant that the previous inspector approved everything related to the addition. That inspector concurred so I declined to inspect the solar because that inspector concurred.

I wish you would learn to speak english. I understand why you declined to pass the array with the roof permit open, but why did you refuse when you learned the other inspector passed the roof? Are you just waiting for him to close that permit?
Ya...Ya, that’s the ticket.
I didn’t decline to pass the array, I declined to inspect the array. The picture shows some electrical hardware that’s been cobbled together and an inspector approved it. There’s a 400amp service panel, one 200amp panel and two 100amp panels. There’s a second floor indoor pool. There’s an elevator. There’s several furnaces.
I met the contractor early in the project. I know the inspector that approved the final inspection...including the ground clamp.
I don’t want my name on any part of it.
