Just now [[jorge-padron|Jorge]] admonished another peer
|
|
for using insulated wire for pool bonding,
|
|
his rationale was flawed beyond saving
|
|
(something about the difference between bonding and grounding),
|
|
but stemmed from a frustratingly common misunderstanding
|
|
that our [[accubid|Accubid]] assemblies are intended to be an accurate list
|
|
of the material to be installed.
|
|
|
|
They are not.
|
|
If they were intended to be accurate,
|
|
there would need to be several times as many.
|
|
They are a compromise between accuracy and estimator effort.
|
|
It should be assumed that for common scope,
|
|
at least one assembly should be acceptable as-is.
|
|
|
|
Pool bonding is required for at least a quarter of our jobs.
|
|
We have no bonding assemblies with bare wire.
|
|
Therefore it must be assumed that it was determined
|
|
that it would be acceptable to represent bare wire bonding with insulated wire items,
|
|
because otherwise it would be necessary to have double the assemblies,
|
|
or to expect estimators to substitute each size of wire
|
|
everywhere bare was necessary.
