16.1	DISTRIBUTION PANEL
	Maintenance Item.
	(1) 11262/11266/11264/11260/11258/11256 - Zinsco main distribution panel installed. These panels were originally made in Puerto Rico and installed in the 60's and 70's throughout the USA. There are many still in use in both single-family and multi-family units. Zinsco sold their manufacturing plants to Sylvania who then marketed them under the GTE Sylvania brand until finally closing down. Today, the Zinsco name is owned by Thomas and Betts. Major Problems: 1) It has been found that circuit breakers do not trip under normal overload conditions (It has been known to sometimes take up to 60-amps to trip a 15-amp Zinsco breaker. 2) The parallel flat buss bars are made of aluminum material and corrode quite easily, increasing the electrical resistance at point of contact and causing panels to overheat. 3) The plating that coats the buss bars sometimes fails on many Zinsco panels, causing poor circuit breaker connections. 4) Another problem is that the breakers do not have designated positions, i.e., they can slide up and down the buss bar, are often crooked, and it is not uncommon to see gaps between the breakers with the deadfront cover in place. Recommend monitoring panel for signs of overheating. No signs of past problems visible during time of inspection. 16.1 Item 1(Picture) - This is a Zinsco panel
	(3) 11262/11266 - Knockout missing. These are necessary to maintain designed electrical safety and avoid rodent intrusion.

The plumbing in the home was inspected and reported on with the above information. While the inspector makes every effort to find all areas of concern, some areas can go unnoticed. Washing machine drain line for example cannot be checked for leaks or the ability to handle the volume during drain cycle. Older homes with galvanized supply lines or cast iron drain lines can be obstructed and barely working during an inspection but then fails under heavy use. If the water is turned off or not used for periods of time (like a vacant home waiting for closing) rust or deposits within the pipes can further clog the piping system. Please be aware that the inspector has your best interest in mind. Any repair items mentioned in this report should be considered before purchase. It is recommended that qualified contractors be used in your further inspection or repair issues as it relates to the comments in this inspection report.

16.1	DISTRIBUTION PANEL Comments: Maintenance Item.
	(1) 11262/11266/11264/11260/11258/11256 - Zinsco main distribution panel installed. These panels were originally made in Puerto Rico and installed in the 60's and 70's throughout the USA. There are many still in use in both single-family and multi-family units. Zinsco sold their manufacturing plants to Sylvania who then marketed them under the GTE Sylvania brand until finally closing down. Today, the Zinsco name is owned by Thomas and Betts. Major Problems: 1) It has been found that circuit breakers do not trip under normal overload conditions (It has been known to sometimes take up to 60-amps to trip a 15-amp Zinsco breaker. 2) The parallel flat buss bars are made of aluminum material and corrode quite easily, increasing the electrical resistance at point of contact and causing panels to overheat. 3) The plating that coats the buss bars sometimes fails on many Zinsco panels, causing poor circuit breaker connections. 4) Another problem is that the breakers do not have designated positions, i.e., they can slide up and down the buss bar, are often crooked, and it is not uncommon to see gaps between the breakers with the deadfront cover in place. Recommend monitoring panel for signs of overheating. No signs of past problems visible during time of inspection. 16.1 Item 1(Picture) - This is a Zinsco panel
	(2) 11262 - 15-Amp circuit breaker in main panel would not reset (unable to turn breaker on) during time of inspection.

(1) 11262/11266/11264/11260/11258/11256 - Zinsco main distribution panel installed. These panels were originally made in Puerto Rico and installed in the 60's and 70's throughout the USA. There are many still in use in both single-family and multi-family units. Zinsco sold their manufacturing plants to Sylvania who then marketed them under the GTE Sylvania brand until finally closing down. Today, the Zinsco name is owned by Thomas and Betts.

Major Problems:

1) It has been found that circuit breakers do not trip under normal overload conditions (It has been known to sometimes take up to 60-amps to trip a 15-amp Zinsco breaker.

2) The parallel flat buss bars are made of aluminum material and corrode quite easily, increasing the electrical resistance at point of contact and causing panels to overheat.

3) The plating that coats the buss bars sometimes fails on many Zinsco panels, causing poor circuit breaker connections.

4) Another problem is that the breakers do not have designated positions, i.e., they can slide up and down the buss bar, are often crooked, and it is not uncommon to see gaps between the breakers with the deadfront cover in place.

Recommend monitoring panel for signs of overheating. No signs of past problems visible during time of inspection.
