That's OK if the particular detail truly doesn't matter. But if the contractor follows your lead and does something really bad, you'll be on the hook for it. I'd think that would really be the case if your contractor puts in a Victaulic connection in a high pressure line that the Victaulic clamp can't handle.. Or vice versa put in a flanged fitting where the owner required a quick opening connection.
