# Detail or Installation Mismatch in Division 26 Electrical submittals

> Source: https://deviationcheck.com/divisions/26-electrical/detail-installation-mismatch/

The submitted detail, dimension, anchorage, or installation method differs from what the spec or drawings require.

## What to look for in Division 26 Electrical

- **Wire sizing** different from spec (e.g., spec calls #10 AWG, submittal shows #12 AWG)
- **Conduit type** mismatch (EMT vs rigid vs flexible, spec may require specific type in certain locations)
- **Mounting height** for devices differs from spec or drawings
- **Circuit breaker trip curve** type (thermal-magnetic vs electronic trip)
- **Grounding method** (separate ground conductor vs metallic raceway)
- **Seismic bracing** method differs from spec
- **Connection type** (bolted vs compression vs set-screw)
- **Surge protection** location or rating differs

## Severity

Default grade: Fix and Resubmit. Escalates to Blocker when the difference affects a fire-rated, seismic, or structural assembly.
