Hey Crash,
THANK YOU for informing him about using fire rated wire!!!!!!!!!!!
Out here on Long Island , I'm doing a 1.5 Mil house and right NEXT DOOR
(same design house ) is a semi large LI Company who shall remain
nameless (located in Holbrook, and the "specialize" in Audio) who has
prewired ALL the smokes and heats with 22/4 quad wire! Licensing MEANS
nothing! EDUCATION is a MUST. (and he's not even an electrician BUT his
chief installer/partner worked as a counter jerk for ADI for years!
Guess he learned NOTHING!
