Bonding Screw

Marcel, How do you “make note of it” and “not bring it up”? :wink:

I educate the client if he is with me.

Otherwise I encourage him to call me with any questions he may have.

I would note it in my report but I agree it’s not a big deal for me.

Now my client may feel otherwise. Totally depends on the client.

Mike, when you make note of something, usually it is explained in detail as to what it is noted for. Whether or not it is worth to bring it up verbally to the client is the Inspectors call.

Of course if you use a checklist report, it would be a different story.

Marcel :slight_smile:

Just trying to clarify “bring it up”
Thanks for the explanation.

I use a narrative report with photos.
I recently changed to HiPro and like it a lot.
It just gets better and better and better with all of Dominic’s hard work.
He is extremely responsive and is very quick to answer questions.
end commercial.:wink:

Keep him in mind for this years Innovation and Inventions Award Nominations.

No Nominations yet for this one.

Marcel :slight_smile: :smiley: :wink:

**YES! Report it and show them the tag! The MBJ is a vital link in the grounding and bonding system, no time to waste, call it a DEFECT.

PS: Can you post a picture of the tag and screw?

The operative question is, do you think a sheet metal screw can clear a 10,000 amp fault? (or whatever the utility computed your AIC at). That is what you have if a service conductor faulted to the can

I don’t even like the 10-32 screw in a factory swaged threaded hole but that is “minimum” code. Bear in mind, this has to be a 4ga copper if the screw isn’t used on a typical 200a service (2/0 cu or 4/0 al).
You certainly want to be sure there are no neutrals connected to supplimental bus bars, illegal anyway but a real issue here…
