The need

The recorded job scope was to install a new circuit for a microwave at a property in New Westminster. The available notes do not state the original cause, a prior fault or a customer complaint, so this story stays with the documented purpose: providing the recorded microwave circuit installation.

PTX's approach

The approved scope called for a 1P20 Federal Pioneer Stab-Lok breaker, 12/2 TECK copper 600V cable and a dry TECK connector. It also included a 4x4 metal junction/device box, a one-gang 4x4 Decora cover, a 20A TR Decora receptacle, a 20A AFCI outlet and an 8-inch spring-fit access panel. These details show the work was planned as a circuit installation rather than simply adding a receptacle to an existing circuit.

The recorded result

The job was invoiced as completed, and the recorded scope was the installation of the new microwave circuit with the listed wiring, receptacle, protective device, box, cover and access panel. The available evidence does not record separate testing, inspection results or permit sign-off, so none of those outcomes are claimed here.

What this job helps another property owner consider

If you are planning a microwave installation, it is worth confirming whether the work requires a new circuit and what equipment and access provisions are included in the scope. This example included dedicated circuit components and an access panel, but it does not establish what another property will require.
