Sorry if you didn't get my sarcasm in my first post but at the end of the day the bean counters decide how much quality is needed.
You must work with some garbage outfits cause the good ones wouldn’t do that. We just sent back 4 valves cause they weren’t up to snuff. Liability is a big part of the job now and safety is foremost.
Possibly the engineering team figured it passed spec?
