i installed drop/curb inlets, they channel the water from the gutter down into the pipe underground. on top of the drop inlet is cast iron grates it is the grates i want back as they the wrong grates and were installed only as temporary items until my supplier reciecved stock of the correct items, now i need to give the incorrect grates back to my supplier so i can avoid payment for something that was temporaly installed. i have never taken possession of the correct cast iron grate as payment was not made for the product i installed.

Accepted Answer

If the grates you want to remove are not fixtures, in other words, removing them would not deface the property, and it sounds like this is no an issue since you are saying that they were temporary, then you should be able to remove them so long as you are not breaching the peace in the process.
