GENERAL ISSUE |
| Item: |
electrical wiring |
| Condition: |
H = Hazardous ! ! ! |
| Comment: |
FAKE ELECTRICAL WIRING, likely produced in China. It is
made to look like copper wiring, but the core is aluminum
(substandard!!!). Due to expansion and contraction, wiring
connections are known to loosen over time and thereby
produce arching, leading to fires. |
