An average day

conarb,
"Don't poke the Tiger" he'll find some more violation on his own!

They appear to have an Anti-siphon on the back side. Curious how you attach a hose to them?

Zurn wall hydrant in a weird place. Don't normally see them on houses and two together is strange. I put them in restroom walls for the custodians to use

See them alot for commercial and schools to keep people and kids from turning or using water. Granted can use pliers but most of the time that is too much effort for pranksters.

This was being fed from a new service upgrade. I wrote a correction to replace it because it is indoor equipment outdoors.



It's an improvement but they used the wrong raceway. Well they are a solar company so when I say that it's an improvement I mean it.

Simpson says you should never see these in a joist hanger....




So Shirley you should never see these...

These are on the front of a house. I do not know what they are for. Do you?




The one on the left is dripping water.

outside hose bib that turn on with a special key (if n thread then a quick connect) - found on commercial work keep people from borrowing water

See what I mean, crazy stuff, don't know how the home owner hasn't done something. Blind maybe?

 

[ICE]

Some guys insist on wasting a gallon of tar. They do this to brand new roof jacks.

There should be a picture of this in the NEC. It seems that nobody understands these connectors.



Here's another one that eludes all but the brainiacs.

WOW WOW WOW!
the question is what all did you write up and did you be sure to mention the wire colors were no longer bright enough!

 

[Paul Sweet]

It wouldn't surprise me if the white wire was hot, and the neutral was the blue or red one.

HVAC contractor did an electric service upgrade. The company has a C-10 license.





This is proof positive that a license doesn't mean much these days.

 

[ICE]

The correction stated that pucker is not allowed.




Sometimes pucker can't be helped.

 

[ICE]

The electrical contractor gave me a picture of the structural strap that he installed. It seems that the HO was all over him to get the stucco patched.

 

[steveray]

Cut the green wire!

 

[SCBO1]

I thought McGyver always cuts the Red?

 

[SCBO1]

What's "pucker", Is this real electrical talk or a west coast term?

 

[steveray]

Part of me would be puckering if I was cutting that service drop!.....But I believe it would refer to the buckling of the insulation on the inside of the bend that is too tight. No code section though...It exists, I just don't have it...

What's "pucker", Is this real electrical talk or a west coast term?

pucker factor

• The tightening to various degrees of the anal sphincter as a result of engaging in various acts of terror or daring. Often the use of a scale from 1 to 10 is applied to the term. A value of 1 is low and a value of 10 usually requires death or extreme disfigurement.

The “Pucker Factor” (PF) is a scale that seeks to measure fear by the force of contraction exerted on the sphincter muscles surrounding the anus during a given situation of danger. The scale is from 1 to 10.

1 is the normal level, while a 10 Pucker, or PF10, is an anal contraction so strong that it’s audible within a 2 meter radius. It is said to sound like a door being slammed. A 10 Pucker is also said to cause a popping in the ears because of the sudden change of internal pressure within the body. Depending upon the danger stimulus encountered, a Pucker condition can persist for hours, days or even weeks, causing constipation, irritation and other symptoms that vary by subject. A permanent state of 10 Pucker is known to exist in certain people. They are commonly referred to in the military as “Tight Asses,” and in spite of their chronic condition, are afforded little sympathy.

300.34 Conductor Bending Radius. The conductor shall
not be bent to a radius less than 8 times the overall
diameter for nonshielded conductors or 12 times the
overall diameter for shielded or lead-covered conductors
during or after installation. For multiconductor or
multiplexed single-conductor cables having individually
shielded conductors, the minimum bending radius is 12
times the diameter of the individually shielded conductors
or 7 times the overall diameter, whichever is greater.

mtlogcabin, Just as I thought it's a west coast thing!

I hope you get lot's of snow!

So much for concealed spaces being sealed

This is in the garage of the apartments. They got one out of 6 right. The other 5 look like this at the last bay before entering the apartment. This is unconditioned space so the insulation needs to be below the sprinkler line like the rest of the garage.
