!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-WARNING-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before the kissing gets started it might be a good idea to ask if they have tasted any of Roger?s chilly.


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-WARNING-!!!!!!!!!!!!

Should the receiver of the kiss have tasted some of Roger?s chilly the giver of the kiss might receive a short blast of air across the face during delivery of the kiss.

GFCI products are more reliable today than in the past, even the recent past.

Jim
If we have to be concerned with a product failing after we install it, whether a GFCI receptacle or even a light fixture, then there is no sense in even installing any product ever. So we install accordingly and hope all works as it should. ;) Part of "its not a perfect world"
 
Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

The perfect GFI is made by NASA or somebody, costs $571,000,000 dollars and is only perfect when installed with triple back-up and constantly monitored by a specially trained application engineering team.

I think these are required in all commercial applications in California. :D

Ok while we are bidding I have 1 slightly used BK award there is a reserve and a large shipping and handling fee who wants to open the bidding ??
 
Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

Fact is many gfci receptacles fail.Ever think about the one your changing that's next to a pool.It gets caught on the sale by a good HI (see i once in a while give them credit).Given a choice i won't put a recetacle near the bath/shower ,but if its on the print then it goes in.
 
Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

I have found out over time that gfci`s that are line sided don`t have a long life expectancy.Direct exposure to the elements does have an effect on how long they will last.This is just a conclusion by actual insallation and not by any study ;)

I can't argue this from any point other than my understanding of the design, but I don't see a single reason that this would be true.

Maybe you could elaborate on your experience.
 
Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

Sam a gfci was missed on the rough in OK a screw up we line sided a gfci from fm room circuit no choice 2 story slab house.We have replaced it 4 maybe 5 times in past year .Why the location was right under run off from a roof we caulked in use covered just what it is a scientific answer well I am not a scientist just a dumb old sparky :confused:
 
Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

I don't mean to try to pick on you Allen, just intereted in more info on your experiences with load siding and differences in problems related to it.
 
Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

Here in sunny Florida we do get high humidity and lots of rain.GFCI outside just simply do not hold up.While legal it proves to be a poor choice.Open one up someday (defective one )there is no way that circuit board could take water very long.Best to keep the outside recepts on slave side.

I don't know about you, but I am at my most humble when lavishing a wet one on someone's fair fanny.

I am not the best there is. Just today I endured a lecture from my apprentice about what a hack I am. Go figure.
 
Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

George I admire your attitude (still goes to prove that we are all the best electricians on gods green earth)As far as GFCI`s Failing as line sided ,you go replace 75 to 100 in a year and tell me what`s up.Like I said no study just experience.Oh and Roger you don`t have the exclusive on breaking my _ _ _ _.Just seems for some reason one day I rubbed you wrong and here we are :D Sorry Charlie had to go there :roll:
 
Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

Allen, the problem is, your head is permanently in the way. :D

Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

Well, it's nice to see Roger and Allen making up, or whatever it is they're doing, just before the holidays, or dare I actually use the word Christmas in public anymore, guess I did.

More seriously, Jim makes a really good point about line siding exterior GFI's. Although it seems rather obvious, I hadn't really conidered it before.
 
Re: bathroom outlet if GFI.

Merry Christmas Roger,it`s been quite a year of butting two stubborn heads :D Well one more coming.
