Xactimate Code PNT|PNTVENT — Painting

What it is

PNT|PNTVENT is a Painting (PNT) Xactimate SEL code used for this work, measured in each (EA).

ESXPress’s reference documents PNT|PNTVENT. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 35 line items written against this code — every one measured in EA.

The code appears in 33 of the 358 scopes analysed (about 9.2%) and in 10 of the 61 converted customer scopes.

When to use it

Use PNT|PNTVENT when the scope calls for this code — Painting work measured in each (EA). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 32 of the 35 observed line items (91.4%) were written with this code.

The co-occurrence data below comes from processed scopes; the strongest pairing is with Tear off, haul and dispose of comp. shi… (RFG|RFGARMV>) — the same scopes, 21 times, lift 2.54. It also appears alongside DMO|DMOPU (15 scopes) and PNT|PNTRJACK (15 scopes).

PNT|PNTVENT is written more than one way in the processed scopes: “Prime & paint furnace vents” (2 of 35 line items, 5.7%). Spelling, spacing, and qualifiers vary between adjusters — which is why ESXPress normalises act text when mapping scopes.

How to use it

Measure the work in EA: 35 of the 35 observed line items (100.0%) used EA. There is no unit variation for this code in the processed scopes.

This code accounts for 32 of the 35 sampled lines (91.4%). Estimators also write “Prime & paint furnace vents” (2 lines, 5.7%).

ESXPress’s Completeness Advisor has no rule that references this code, so its usage evidence is purely observational: 33 scopes and 35 line items.

Real-world examples

Each example is an anonymised line from a processed claim scope: the exact operation text and unit of measure adjusters wrote, with the observed line-item count. The count is line frequency across the analysed samples — never a price and never a quantity from a specific claim.

• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Prime & paint furnace vents”, EA, qty 2.
