I have just seen the updated safety bulletin and I suspect many of us will
now find ourselves grounded as having non standard pip-pin recesses.
I have looked at the new Issue 2 and using the calculations therein have
calculated that
1) the base of the pip-pin recess needs to be at least 13mm by 13mm or a
radius of 7.35mm and
2) the top recess to the skin needs to be either a square 31.25mm each side
or a circle of 20mm radius. I suspect it is this latter dimension that is
going to ground many of us as the nicely turned circular pip-pin recesses
with built in covers are not likely to be that big.
I have just checked mine and found it to be 14.5mm radius (29mm diameter)
so I am grounded for the duration.
Also if you have used plastic fittings without covering them with two plies
of bid then this will also fail you.
Any one else picked up on this dilemma?
