Balanced nozzle reinforcement
Balanced nozzle reinforcement
(OP)
Is there a proper definition of what 'balanced' nozzle reinforcement means? I wrote it into my spec, thinking it was understood , but it is not a term used in BPVC and my client seems to think it means a dollar plate. Client does not accept my interpretation.

What does "dollar plate" mean to you?

I think I made a big big mistake saying "balanced reinforcement" when it is not really defined. Client now says he wants dollar plates because that is what I "meant". (14 nozzles). Hard to argue the point with them...

You should know what it means if you put it into your spec!!! Don't use terms that others are not familiar with then you would not end up in this situation. My understanding of balanced reinforcement would mean that around a nozzle you could not "lump" the majority of the required reinforcement on one side of the nozzle - it has to be equally spread around the nozzle.
