Texture Spray in Sub Panel

[jweinberg]

Seem to remember that Texture Spray in Sub Panel is a no-no.....

Just wondering what your opinion is, and how you would word it in your report.

"Gaps in corrosion inhibitor in panel"

I would state "Texture overspray in panel, safty issue, need to have an licened electrican eveluate"
Outher than that, this has potential to be a real problem later for the owner!

I wouldn't go overboard about how unsafe this is. That stuff has a toxicity limit in a fire similar to all that insulation in the box. The issue is just that the code says there should be no foreign substances in electrical enclosures. I see it a lot in half to 3/4 million dollar houses here. I am not sure what standard the AHJ holds them to but he is holding his nose with the other hand.


... It might cause more problems "fixing" this than just leaving it alone

No foreign substances in panel including paint, texture, ect.
In need or repair.

Is this missing a main disconnect?
