NRPP Exam

NACHI - Tue, 04/23/2013 - 22:14
This is just a heads up for those wishing to take the NRPP exam for Radon measurement.
The nachi Radon course has been approved as a pre-testing course. It is not listed on the NRPP website. But I did get confirmation from them that it will work. Whilst the Nachi course is ok it is too in depth for exam prep. If your prepping for the exam then my recommendations are the following:
1. Do the Nachi Radon Course
2. Do the Nachi Radon course again.
3. Learn in detail about the different types of testing methods.
4. Learn about the pros & cons for each testing method.
5. Learn about what if's i.e. one above 4pCi/L one below 4pCi/L with regards to real estate transactions.

Hope this helps

Corrugated plastic water heater flue? Lochinvar DVN040-1 unit

NACHI - Tue, 04/23/2013 - 19:27
This Lochinvar DVN040-1 water heater, evidently the original unit from when the house was built in the mid 1990s, discharged exhaust through a heavy-duty corrugated plastic flue.

The material did not feel like it had a metal liner.

This material does not look suitable for a flue to me, and I would expect metal or PVC piping to be be more suitable for such a venting arrangement, but this has the look of an original installation.

Anybody familiar with this unit and its venting requirements?

GE Type Circuit Breakers Question

NACHI - Tue, 04/23/2013 - 19:22
Main distribution panel label indicates that one should use GE type breakers. Does this mean you should only use GE circuit breakers?
I have seen this before during inspections, but wanted to ask because there were a couple of non GE circuit breakers installed in a panel I recently inspected. I have attached a picture of label.

GFCI tester

Using a standard GFCI outlet tester a GFCI will not trip. It will trip with the test button. Why?
