Funny thing happened today!
Steam unit repair guy pulls into space next to me. (Job next door) So I took the op. to bend his ear on the possible code requirements. "I don't know too much about the actual code part of it really." So still not going to get too far there.... He did make some interesting comments though. On GFI's he says the older units trip them alot. Doesn't like them... Goes on to say that most of his job is replacing the cards on them, and replacing the elements that have a tendancy to short out, especially with hard water. Showed me the one he took out, and apparently this short often happens within the tank. No answers, but informative none-the-less.
Anyway, it seems that no one knows which code, if any apply, for sure. There's alot of 'maybe's', and 'follow manufactures instructions'. They only say to follow applicable codes, which ones? It's a cycle!
Next time I actualy install one of these, and have some 'day time' to apply to it, I'll beat the horse some more.
