When wiring a L6-30 receptacle where the power is coming from a sub panel, where the neutral and ground are separated from each other, does the green terminal on the L6-30 go to the neutral bar, or the ground bar?

I got this "extension" in a box of electrical parts............... The male plug end is a L6-30P, and at the other end, it is a NEMA 5-15 female receptacle. I took both ends apart to see the wiring hook up, and on the 5-15, the green wire goes to the green terminal, the black wire goes to the...

I was just reading the thread about the person wanting to sell lots of sockets, and some people have responding about selling thousands of dollars on eBay. My specific question is, does eBay send you any type of tax reporting document that you need to file with your income tax return? If so, I...

I have been looking at some receptacles on eBay, and I have been finding many that are orange in color. I have seen orange colored receptacles in hospitals that are orange, and I believe that they have separated neutrals and grounds, and that is what the orange means, however, I don't...

I have a 100 amp sub panel in my garage that comes off the main panel, and would like to put an additional sub panel in the garage at another location. Can I add a sub panel to the existing sub panel?

I have just spent a lot of time reading, and rather than ask my question in one of those other threads, and muddy the waters, I will start a new thread. I recently was given an electrical box that came from a manufacturing facility, and the box says to only power it from the master...

I got a great deal on a Quincy air compressor, because it was a 3 phase unit. I just purchased a 5HP single phase 220 Baldor motor to install on it, and after speaking to the good folks at Quincy, they recommend a 7" single groove pulley for the application. The pulley that I removed from the...

I am working on a restoration of a 1962 Chevy, and I just acquired the correct Frigidaire A6 air conditioning compressor. I know that I will need to reseal this compressor, so I would like to get it cleaned of all paint and small rust spots before I take it apart. For this reason, I believe...

I picked up 3 used Roth tanks from a home that converted to gas, and am going to be installing them in my cellar this summer. I would like to know about piping them for the fill and the vent. I did a little internet searching, and found that they have a single fill kit to hook tank 1 & 2...

Looking for a Snap On RSX26 13/16" combination flare and open end wrench. Please advise by Private Message. Thanks Junk

I picked up this Quincy QT-54 vertical compressor last week, and the only thing that it needs is a new magnetic starter switch. It came from a bankrupt business, and the people removing it, had no idea how to get into the switch, so they pried the cover off, destroying the case. It is a Baldor...

I picked up a Snap On MT 2000 at the swap meet today, but there were no instructions with it. I did a google search, and couldn't find anything about this unit. Might someone know how to use it or have a copy of the instructions that they could scan and send to me? I hope that I didn't...

Does anyone have one of these kits installed on their rolling jack, that could post a picture of how they assemble and work? Also would like to see some pictures of the air station mounted to one of the lift posts. Bend Pak makes a lot of accessory items for the 4 post lifts, however, there...

I have a small blast cabinet with glass beds in it. I was told that I should limit it to 40 PSI. Problem is that it is taking me forever to clean almost anything that I try, and it isn't doing a good job. What pressure do you use with glass beads? I am thinking of switching out the media...

I need to flush the air conditioning lines on my car. I am looking for suggestions as to what to buy for a flushing tool, and any other information that might be helpful. thanks Junk..

I just picked one of these up on eBay, and I can't see any reason for the quick release button on the head, since the sockets don't stick to it any better than my other 1/4" Snap On ratchets. Does mine have a manufacturing problem, or is that the way it was designed to work. This ratchet is...

I moved my air compressor outside because I am cleaning the garage. It has been in there since 1993, and is quite dirty. Would it be OK to give it a bath with car soap and water? I can't see how it can hurt anything, and the usual precautions to keep water out of the motor and controls is...

I just came across an eBay auction for wobble plus extension, and even though I know what a wobble extension is, I have no idea what the "plus" adds to the tool. Is it worth buying? I also found auctions for the "locking" extensions, however, I have never seen one before, nor is there any...

I picked up a 1 1/4 ton Hein-Werner jack this weekend at a swap meet, and this one has a good cylinder in it. That is where the good news ends. The wheels are severely worn, and I have pulled them off, in anticipation of installing new ball bearings. In order to get them off, I had to first...
