FPE stab-lok is everywhere here in BC. 40yo homes right up to current - some of which I installed on spec'ed jobs within the past few years.

I don't *like* them, but that is my opinion. I think the stabs have poor pressure and contact area with the bus bars. However, it is by far the most common breaker/panel I deal with so its no surprise its the brand I run into with the most problems.

Why there is a witch-hunt for FPE south of the border, and virtually no cause for alarm (except for opinionated sparkies [Linked Image] ) up here doesn't make sense. Insurance companies are busy condemning K&T and/or fuse boxes instead.

BTW: I install Square-D QO whenever possible. [Linked Image]
