Default Rust

The inside of panel is not affected with any moisture. Would you still call this out because of the outside rust?

Attachment 17940

Thanks

Hi to all,

Gary I would note it as a concern, even if it was dry inside it will not remain like that for long.

Regards

Gerry

Would you recommend replacement in the near furture, or now?

Thanks

Looks like it may not provide the minimum of 3 feet of working space in front of it as well?

Funny Charley, the same phrase came to mind when I was thinking about it, I would have listed it as a maintenance issue rather than a defect at this time.

Some would say that as the rust isn't UL listed it has to go!!

Gerry
