Correct me if I am wrong. In regards to a subpanel, I know it should have a floating neutral, right? I was looking at one the other day that had a bonding screw that was screwed all the way in (clockwise). In which case, it would not be a floating neutral, right? To correct this does the screw need to be completely removed or just backed out? How could you determine if it is backed out enough?

When I do inspections (new construction, not HI) and I see a bonding screw in the panel that is halfway in, I just steal it. I take it out and throw it in the garbage.

I did the same, but kept it in a box in my trunk, works well when the Main Bonding Jumper is missing at the service and you want to save the trip for a reinspect ion.!
A reminder about this to the electrician usually results in better communication, especially around the new year!
