where the clamping bolts on the mount itself shattered the (very brittle) cast
iron pipe that had been used at the top.</FONT></DIV>

mount pipe problems</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Wrenches i have a customer that wanted to install
a dpw top of pole mount for 18 sharp 180 watt panels. he installed his own
pipe and even after several reminders by me and a signed contract stating
shcedule 80 8 inch steel pipe he installed a 8 inch cast iron water
main.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My dilemma is this he claims to wave my liability
in this install but he has been a very high maintnence customer and seems to
forget everything we talk about or he signs. so would you go ahead with the
install or is the cast iron going to shear off and the rack fall
over?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>financially i have met my obligations with the
customer i can wave the labor cost and tell him to find someone else at this
point if need be i dont want to be liable for spilling 18 panels on the ground
and my insurance wouldnt cover it as we went against dpw's
recomendations</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV>
