Direction from [[josh-ford]]
relevant to [[electrical-takeoff]]
on [[303-mariposa-residence]]
with application elsewhere as well.

## Heating Designations vs. Temporary Assemblies

Reiterating direction expressed [[2025-05-11]],
we are to prefer length-based assemblies for equipment connections,
preferring temp assemblies over heating designations.

## "1/2in Conduit"

> [!quote] Electrical.pdf, E2.11
> PROVIDE EQUIPMENT WITH 1/2"C - 2#8 AWG & #10 GND.

Josh repeated my understanding that this verbiage is common
even when cable type wiring methods are allowed.
Assuming the inclusion is deliberate,
it could be interpreted in our favor as
"if you choose to or must use conduit, use this size."

We very rarely use 1/2in conduit, using 3/4in instead.
the cost difference is quite small,
especially when considering bulk savings.
