Thanks much. I am going to pass

I found a used 10,000 watt unit hater. It was wired from the factory for 480 volt. It says it can be wired single phase. If it is wired single phase will it still be 10,000. Here is the rating plate attached.

So I have 9 year old eight foot T-8s. There are two rows of four in a 24 by 48 pole barn shop. There are four 4 foot two pin bulbs per light. The mounting height is 16 feet. What I need to know is what sort of conversion to LED is the most durable as I cannot just use a step ladder but will...

Am retired plumber. You should never use a union in a wall even with access panel. If you get a leak you may have a really big access panel. What size do you need. I have a 3/4 in stock. Use a left and right.
