HOW DOES IT WORK?
When an electrician inspects and modifies your wiring to one of the National Electrical Code approved methods, he will install an ALUMIWARE sticker on both the wall/ceiling around the electrical junction box, and another lable on the outlet or switch plate cover. This will inform any future maintenance staff, painters, or residents, that think they know what they are doing, to stop and contact a professional. With proper knowledge your real estate will not fall out of complaince shortly after you paid a lot of money to modify it to the proper code.
Soon to be available:
- Outlet and switch plate covers that have the warning labels painted directly on them eliminating the need to peel and
install stickers. - A plastic ring sized for electrical light junction boxes that will serve as a warning to people installing new lights.
Why do I need to put it on both the wall and the outlet cover, isn't that redundant?
This is a small price to pay for such an expensive repair. When an apartment is painted between tenant occupancies, the painter usually removes all the outlets covers, and switch plates. Then they often spray or roll the walls without regard to the electrical devices. The alumiware label will get partially of fully covered in paint but the label on back of the device cover will let the painter know which one goes where. Also, in the case of the painter replacing all the switch plate covers to give it that "fresh look" , the wall stickers will in some way still be there as a markers for your more informed staff. Essentially the redundancy will help increase the odds that the aluminum wiring will remain in compliance. The maintenance shop should always have CO/ALR switches and receptacles, Alumiconn connectors, and Alumiware labels to properly protect the integrity of the aluminum wiring in the building.
The label does not fit the exact location I need because it will obstruct the screws.
The first run of Alumiware labels are designed to fit the smaller outlet and switch plate covers, but for jumbo covers or larger light junction boxes you can simply cut or tear the corners in 2 opposite sides to create separate "L" shaped labels that can spread apart. You can cut, snip, tear, and shorten the blank spaces as needed.
