I'm not understanding how this works. See picture. The pipe going up is for a fixed shower head. The flex hose is for a hand held shower head. Both of those work OK. The button on the left looks like it is to activate the faucet pointing down. However, when you lift it up water just...

"I believe the OP wants to crank the heater on with a timer and let it run for a count down period, much like a bathroom fan. " Exactly, so the old man (me) does not forget and leave it on. I'll look into those options. Thanks

A pool timer is the only option I see. However I would like a delay off timer like for a whole house fan that could be set for X hours rather than having to deal with time of day on a pool timer. Crimp terminals would be for any solution using a contactor like version 1.0, at least all of...

My current pool pump set up breaks one leg of the incoming 240 volts with a 115V 20A switch. That is the highest rating I see on the mechanical timers. I even contacted Intermatic. For version 1.0, I used a transformer and a contact inside the heater housing along with a timer on the 24 V...

The big question for me is if it is acceptable to use 115 volt 20 amp timer on one leg of a 240 volt 30 amp heater circuit.

A timer like this. https://www.intermatic.com/Product/FF4H?setcontextlanguagecode=en

I have a stand alone 240 volt 30 A space heater for the garage and would like a delay off timer but none are available. I also use this outlet for a mid welder if that matters. It looks like I may be able to use a pool timer with a change but would like to clarify what I currently see on my...

I finally pulled it apart and yes it must there be to prevent axial movement. It was threaded into a tube with maybe a 3/32 wall so must be a very common failure. It seems like a good solution would be to weld on a nut but I'm not a great welder and don't have a good way to clear out that tube...

My HF lift has a pointed set screw where the large shaft goes through the center triangular part. See picture. There are just a couple of threads so it falls out but does not seem to affect anything. Does anyone know exactly what it is supposed to do? Without disassembly, it looks like there...

I bought a used blasting cabinet, the cheapest HF cabinet, and I have a 3hp compressor so it is about as basic as it can get. It came with some kind of media so I thought I would give it a try. It is not sand so I'm guessing glass beads or could it even be soda. It got wet at some time so...

I have a Dr Heater 220 volt space heater with 30 amp plug. I think it is about 20.1 amps. It is cheap and works great but is noisy. I'm concerned that someday, I may turn it on, leave and forget about it so would like a countdown timer for auto shutoff. I don't see any of spring loaded ones...

One like this. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FY2QD96/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I already had a number of them so found one that could come apart for a new cord. I would still like to find one that comes with a long cord.

I'm looking for a standard old fluorescent type shop light with 9 or 10 foot cord. Does anyone make one? I need to move a light and thought I could just change out the cord but it is plastic snap together thing that does not want to come apart.

I have a bench outside of the garage man door that is used for particularly dirty or smelly work. Location is nice because air line and power cord reach but sun is brutal. Throughout the day it basically travels right over the bench in summer. I had one of those pop up type covers but there...

My impact wrench works in one direction "R" but when switched to "F" I just hear air leaking. If I hunt for a position not fully at the F limit, it will work. At full F, the knob on the F side is inside the body more than the R knob at full R. This is a Cambell Hausfeld Medallion Series...
