Globally I think we are on the same page with those. It is a fire suppression system for an IT data room. The panel is outside the protected room (per code). This 9'X9' room has used maybe....50' of wire. COMPLETE! Any way, The Inspector new his job. Rightfully called it. But, still revenue Enhancement.

Again, that's the scenario in a perfect world. There have been a few local instances of financial disasters, but that's another story. _________________________ John
