On Sept. 14 we requested additional information regarding the use of devices our contractor felt violated
National Electric Code. We have not, as of this date, received a reply to that request.
Your assistance in this matter is appreciated.

I am aware of what is being asked of Groff Electric regarding the connections to sewer system. We have
provided heat shrink at the required locations. What is being asked of us is [o provide a splice using a butt
connector and terminate three conductors in this butt splice which is only U.L approved to splice two
conductors. A clear violation of NEC. What we suggest the we use a small wirenut or a C connector?which is
approved for the purpose and provide a heat shrink aver this for moisture protection. At this point Randy
Hatch will not site NEC the very code that I am bound to. The only statement that we get is [he whale Ciry is
wired this way. Well if I had the system inspected by L81 we surely would not have received a approval.lf
Randy can produce a catalog number of the splice that is U.L approved for the purpose allowing the splice of
three conductors?that the whole Clty is wired with, I would welcome the help.?
If you have any questions, please contact me.

Grant, Unable to send to Steve. Message responds "message refused"
Steve;
II has been brought to our attention that the electrical connections required by the City of Yelm Sewer
Department at the Yelm High School are in violation of the National Electric Code. See attached.
Neither our Electrical Engineer nor our Electrical Contractor are willing to install or accept installations that
violate NEC. If there is direction from the Department of Labor and Industries allowing this deviation from
code would you please forward that to me.
Your assistance in this matter is appreciated
Erling Birkland
