Just mention it to the inspector when he comes out for the inspection, he should be able to verify.

If it is an ex utility pole, they usually have a stamp that gives the length and other info, this is usually at eye level if the pole is at the proper depth.

Thats around $324 a month, not that cheap to run.

I don't know about the one you have, but most of these type heaters have threaded boss's in the top for threaded rods as the previous poster has mentioned using.

You will be disappointed, The electric tankless water heaters use a lot of electricity, with very little heat output. I have not seen them used for slab heat, but have seen them used with poor results for heating water. To get a reasonable amont of hot water, two units in series is required if...

The union does have a good training program, and if you want to learn, it is a good program, but...... where the union is weak, they will take anybody and pass anybody to get members. We went union for two years, and do a lot of out of town work. The owner said that we would easily get all the...

The reasoning behind seperating the grounds from the neutrals after the service disconnect is if the neutral from the main panel becomes loose or the connection becomes burnt or broken, everything grounded to it becomes "live", because electricity will try to find an alternate path back to the...

When pigtailing grounds, the ground that goes to the ground bar is not required to be larger than the largest ground (provided it is the correct size for the circuit that it is grounding) in the pigtail. You can have X amount of circuits, 15,20 or 30 amps, the largest ground that you will need...

I cannot make it out from the picture for sure, but it appears the panel can is not grounded. Since this is a sub panel, it should have a seperate ground bar and wire from the main panel. If this not a sub panel and is a service panel (unlikely) there would be a green screw theaded into the...

You can double up on grounds, but not neutrals, or you can add another ground bar. As long as you use the screws and matching holes provided, you do not have to physically connect the two together, the metal panel can does this for you.

Definetly!

I think you will be fine with 100 amp, breakers are are designed not to trip instantly when you hit there rating, there is a cushion built in that allows temporary overloads. If your doing precision welding, it's not likely you will have the welder turned all the way up, even if you do, you are...

The sensor for the door is monitored by the opener, if the current is too high or low, it trips out the sfety control and stops the door from operating , tapping off this may trigger the monitor.

You can fill it full of breakers if you want, it's the calculated total load that makes the difference, since you have the proper size of overcurrent protection, all that will happen is you will trip that breaker if you have too much on it. Where people get in trouble is when the breaker trips...

Yes, since it has a starter, just break the pressure switch wire with your switch. You will still need a disconnect, unless it's within sight of the panel. Breakers unless marked "SWD" are not designed to be used as a switch to turn the compressor off and on.

Don't always bet on it, I do a lot of generator hookups during natural disasters, and more than once I have found old main breakers that failed to open one or more poles, which would have lead to disasterous results! Be extremely careful when doing this. The lawyer that is handling the...

He is probably talking about the leather protectors that go over the rubber gloves, there is many names people give them over the years. The protectors are basically leather gloves. If you do it for a living, OSHA requires the rubber gloves to be tested every six months and inspected before...

The irreversible connection applies only to the grounding electrode conductor, not the to grounding electrode its self.

OSHA does not recognize those for checking for voltage before working on something, but a voltmeter would not have helped either, because you were not expecting it because you had the circuit(s) inside the flex off. It's a little too late for medical attention after an electrocution because...

Induced voltage on a normal < 600 volt electrical system is very rarely high enough to cause a shock, The previous post was obviously not induced voltage, but the circuit was still on. Multiple wires bundeled together usually causes this, more common in commercial and industrial settings than...
