NEC and common sense requires busing where the wires pass thru the panel. NEC has an exception for NM-B cable ("romex") without a busing in this scenario, but not the unprotected fixture conductors. And in installation where the aluminum posts are mounted on a concrete slab, it's not going to short to ground. So if the insulation of the hot conductor is damaged, you've energized the entire structure and it's a shock hazard waiting to happen. With the ceiling fan video, there's enough room in the fan canopy to pull the "romex" thru the panel and make the connections in the canopy. But with this shallow light fixture you need to attach a junction box on the top side of the panel, cut a hole in the panel larger than the inner diameter of the fixture mounting bracket (the edges of the mounting bracket are not sharp and do not require a busing), and secure the "romex" to the junction box with a cable clamp. For less than $5 and 5 minutes, you'll have a safe and code-compliant installation. And to the DIY'ers - a non-compliant installation like this gives your insurance company grounds to refuse a claim in case of injury or fire.

@@ericsweeney4544 I am located in Australia but we have very strict rules in regard to electrical installations. From what I can see and has been mentioned one of the issues is that there is no grommet or busing where the cable exits the metal - this stops any chance of a sharp edge cutting a cable and causing the roof to be electrified, 2) A requirement here is for the metal of the roof to be earthed to ensure any short to roof will trip a safety switch/circuit breaker 3) When under a roof such as this there is a requirement for a minimum distance from the top of the roof to the cable to ensure no one will damage the cable and enough air circulates to keep the cable from overheating. 4) The correct cable size must be used with the correct protection. These rules are there for your safety. Use a licensed electrician or at minimum get one to check your work. It's to late when you unintentionally electrocute someone.

Panels could be ordered with or without the 'support beam'/wiring channel. They are more expensive so not likely on each panel you have.

I have a south facing patio cover. Ive had a insulated and non insulated cover.For me the difference was night and day. On very hot days i could feel the heat ratiating off of the non insulated cover. The difference was so great that was the #1 reason i even replaced the patio cover. If you have a north facing back yard im sure the heat intensity is far less Just like your home. The south side of your house is going to be warmer than the north in most cases

We need better instructions on how to run the electrical. Also, no inspector or somewhat educated homeowner should run romex through a hole drilled directly in metal. There needs to be a grommet, or something to protect the wire/sheath from rubbing against metal and eventually shorting out.

10:50 why does the front gutter top lip go over the front of the insulated panel. I understand your supposed to caulk the seam to prevent water from flowing under it, but it just seems like a poor design. It makes sense to me to design it so the top lip of the gutter would slide under the top sheet of aluminum.. between the Styrofoam and aluminum so there's no obstruction in the flow of water or the possibility of water sliding under the gutter lip.
@dougyoes3 жыл бұрын
Agree. I may take a peanut grinder and channel out the styrofoam the depth of the gutter flange - then shove the flange into the channel and secure on the top with sheet metal screws.
@rossk64362 жыл бұрын
@@dougyoes this won’t work where you have the male/female joints unless you cut through the metal also. Definitely poor design. Had two patio roofs done and the caulking always fails at that point and makes way for water intrusion and eventually mold and algae growth inside the panel.

I have used tubes and tubes of silicone and recently removed it all and redid with black jack silicone sealant, guess what ? Leaks are still around. wondering if my installer used proper flashing. I am about ready to hire a few guys from Home Depot and take it apart to see whats going on. Any recommendations.
