A note about your flooring:

Tile for a bathroom isn't normally very many sqft, so it should not be too expensive to have professionally installed. I'd hire someone for the tile install since you...

That pipe is less than a foot underground, do you think it should be dug up and replaced or at least inspected?

What kind of pipe is it that feeds the gas meter from the gas co? Here it is some...

Hello again;

The pipe you see that comes through the concrete is my main gas line that comes into the house, this is direct buried. It looks more like galvanized to me. It is wrapped on the...

I must be confused or they approve of using different materials here for some reason.

When my dad built his detached workshop about 5 years ago, he used the standard black epoxy coated pipe that...

Now that you say that, I am quite sure this is not really iron and I am using the wrong terminology. I am sure the pipe I use is the epoxy coated steel pipe.



Do you apply something to the...

1. Bathroom outlets need to be on a 20A circuit that is just for bathroom outlets, if it is just used for outlets it can be shared with multiple bathrooms. Or you can have the entire bathroom one...

Hello;

I'm running a new gas line to my outdoor grill, 24" deep. I've never buried gas pipe before. I've installed quite a bit of black iron inside, and am completely comfortable with laying and...

Excellent. Thanks again for helping me get this figured out!

Cool, perfect solution, I'll hunt one of those down and install it. Do you think I am ok making the dishwasher hose a few feet longer if necessary?
Thanks
Jamie

Ok, will do. Do I need the Air gap to be exposed just above the sink as was shown in a photo here, or can the same thing be accomplished just below the sink where it will not be exposed?

Thanks...

Thank you both for your responses. If I route the drain hose under the cabinet base to the main sink base, it won't really be a very long run.

If I need a couple extra feet on that dishwasher...

HI guys;

I've made a few posts here in the electrical forum, new to the plumbing area. I hope you can help me out with a question on the drain setup for my new kitchen. Thanks much in advance. ...

If a plastic box is UL listed as a fixture / junction box, then it is fine to use for either.

Use the correct box where necessary and it is all legal, metal or plastic.

*I am pretty...

No offense intended to the OP or anyone else.

Frenchie; I just wanted to say I agree with you. I have experienced and tried to explain this to people I know in real life and some people have a...

By 2 3 way motion sensors for $17 each at Lowes or *******. I believe the brand they carry is rated for non-lighting loads, but double check the package to make sure it is ok to install something...

I would ensure the 12 awg in your panel is clearly labeled "warning connected to 14awg wire, must be protected by 15A breaker"

Yes, I have seen this done, and I don't know why they did it either. ...

Glad to hear you checked with them, I was hoping there would be a conversion. They (manufacture) specifically said some models were able to be converted from 208 to 240 and some where not. ...

He obviously doesn't even understand very basic electrical concepts.

I just checked with the manufacture and some of these units are dual rated 208/240 and are convertible. That does not mean...

Most plastic boxes are not rated for exposed work, i.e. concrete walls in the basement. So metal is much easier to use there.

I've had some bad luck with some styles of plastic boxes cracking...

There is no practical way to change your 240v service to 208v. I strongly suggest you do not hook up that unit as is.

I would either get the correct heater. Or speak directly with the tech...

What would be the difference in combining the two on the same bar or keeping them separate and bonding the two bars together?
Sorry, I worded that poorly, I should have explained, it was really just...

another thing to mention is that i added a ground/neutral bus bar on one side. jumpered it to the existing on with a 6 gauge naked copper.

Are you combining your neutrals and grounds on the same...

Add not all cables are stapled within 12 inches of panel.

My addition; 20A outlet being fed with 14 gage NM, No one else seemed to mention this.

This is what I thought, it ends up being like a series setup in a way. I need to go get out a meter and actually take readings off of each bulb. I am not sure though if I am going to see reduce...

But the two burned as they were supposed to before the neutral was opened did they not.
Yes they did burn correctly at first, just as they would on a regular MWBC.
Why did they react the way they...
