Don,
Ull get a kick out of this .... Were installing some new equipment in a GI suite in a hopsital. The a/c control circuit requires 18 gauge min shielded wire. For a week the electrican has not been able to locate this . ( dont ask ) so I ask my neighbor ( big electrical contractor ) for some. He pulls it and leaves it at his shop for me . I offer it to the electrcian ... panties get all wadded up and they end up using FIRE ALARM wire tru out the entire 2nd floor . ( fire wire is RED covered ) and is used only for fire alarms ....
I give up ... rather then take the wire , Ill use the wrong wire.....
