Unless you have deep pockets and enjoy walking on the edge of financial disaster, run. Run now. Run long. Run hard, .. Or, take a sledge hammer to the base of the cast iron pipe, break it off even with ground level and start over with a new footing and correctly spec'd pipe. Better to avert disaster before it strikes. All warranties will be void due to improper installation and you are the only one on the hook, liability waiver or not. Not to mention that when you get into court, you as the professional, should have known better. It just isn't worth it.

My dilemma is this he claims to wave my liability in this install but he has been a very high maintnence customer and seems to forget everything we talk about or he signs. so would you go ahead with the install or is the cast iron going to shear off and the rack fall over? financially i have met my obligations with the customer i can wave the labor cost and tell him to find someone else at this point if need be i dont want to be liable for spilling 18 panels on the ground and my insurance wouldnt cover it as we went against dpw's recomendations
