Deadfront Terminology Question - InspectionNews - Home Inspection

Did You remove the cover ?

Aw, come on, you have *got* to be kidding!

The answer, of course, is yes.

Looks like to me the pin is there ( from what I can see)

The pin is present, but the spring and nut for the for the pin connecting the "outer" to the "inner" deadfront portion is missing, and the two portions are not connected at the bottom.

Those covers have the part that covers the breakers on a pin that has a spring on it. Square D refers to this as "automatic flush adjustment". On the label it should list the cover part number. It is a common part found in most home improvement stores like Lowes and Home Depot and electrical supply houses.( Go to lowes or home depot and look at them in the electrical aisle and you will see what I'm talking about)

I've looked at hundreds of these, and I've looked at the documentation I can find at the manufacturers site.

What I went to be able to say is:

"A potion of the pin mechanism connecting the XXXXX to the YYYYY is missing, and the XXXXX is not properly connected to the YYYYY at their lower attachment point."

What I want to know is, what is the proper term for the the XXXXX and YYYYY portions?
