Which apron condition is a defect that must be fixed before coupling?
- A.An apron with a light coat of grease
- B.An apron that is flat and clean
- C.An apron that is bent, cracked, or has loose or missing fasteners
- D.An apron painted a different color
Correct answer
C. An apron that is bent, cracked, or has loose or missing fasteners
Why
A bent apron will not sit flush, creating the gap that signals a bad coupling, and cracks weaken a load-bearing plate. Those defects defeat the design of the connection.
