Title: B/2 wire? Wut?
Post by: Sergroum on August 22, 2023, 10:32:26 AM
Got this email from a client

Your competition called me again yesterday, with very negative comments and questions, probably still hoping to get my business. I made it clear that I had already made a deposit, and was waiting for audit and installation.

HE SAID THAT I SHOULD INSIST THAT YOU CHANGE THE WIRING FOR THE HEAT PUMP TO B/2 wiring. Safety issue.



Question.   Wtf is b/2 wire? I asked if he ment 10/2 which makes sense and he insisted its b/2.

Am I missing ... something?

BX wire is the only thing I recognize but it's not approved for outdoors.

Maybe they wrote down 8/2 wire but then repeated it as B/2.

As long as the wire is sized according to the minimum circuit ampacity you will be fine.

It's stuff like this why I will never involve myself with retail work.
