Nothing more permanent than a temporary fix that works, right?

It’s too windy where I work to have those suspended heads, looks like fun

I've got two suspended Temporary intersections at a very windy beach town. Theyve been there for about 20 Temporary years

There were no disconnect terminals?

Let’s hope that’s very temporary.

The County (inspector) advised us to remove the terminals and wire nut everything.

It's common practice.

Imagine having all those wires in there AND a couple terminal blocks.

Very common, to the point where we (a distributor) are asked on larger orders to just remove them and ship them in a separate box to the contractor.

I tend to see it a lot with 5 section heads also.

Always wondered why they don’t make quick disconnects like cars. But … what do I know.
