I noticed in the HD "123 Wiring Book" that there was a mistake on a wiring diagram. When I broguth it to the attention of one of the "experts" in the electrical dept. he told me that they had just made a "mistake" on the color of a wire so it really wasn't serious. I suggested that the color of the wired is really important in wiring. I then told the store mgr. who could have cared less.So I emailed the company and got a phone call 2 days ago but the end result was about the same. Yes, it was a mistake but simply a "typo". Now I wonder what other errors there are in this book.

Ex. #2
When trying to find a drain with the necessary weep hole
to be used with the pvc membrane for a shower pan
the "expert" told me (after talking to a plumber on the phone who
remembered doing one about 10 years ago)that they really weren't necessary
because with the newer tiles and grout ceramic showeres didn't leak anymore.
So when I then asked him why I even needed the
membrane he didn't seem to know.

I really wouldn't care if they didn't know Anything so long as
they didn't advertise about their "experts"

Other than the fact that just about everything in the electrical trade is color-coded, maybe it really isn't a big deal?

I'd be curious to know if that book mid-identified other unimportant things like using the proper wire size and breakers?

Hey Fred

I have that book! Which diagram are you talking about?
