Wall Mount/ baseboard heater Code question

[Jim W in Tampa]

Actually I believe it is part of the job discription of an inspector. When I was installing and an inspector told me that there was a violation I would ask for the code section and an explanation of their position if I was not in agreement. I learned quite a bit from inspectors through the years.

I always tell people if they have a question about an installation I would much rather they call and ask me then to hope it is OK and have me come out and cite them for a violation and have to spend the time and money to fix it.

I could be one of those inspectors that says "I want to see this....." and not answer any calls or be open to any discussion but I just can't be that guy.

I am glad your not like that. For many years we were building so fast that inspectors were given 30 a day so really no time for much teaching. Now building has all but stoped. You surely must draw a line someplace as to when a home owner doing his own house simply has no clue and would take half a day of help.
