    Mini split sizing help.

    UFO's for a 35x30 with 14' walls

    I'm in the market for lights as well. Reached out to Hyperlite and they did a few layouts for Ufo 100w hero's for a 35x50x13.5' I think my plan is to do 9 lights which will give me 60-70FC in the center area's and 30-40's in the corner's. I had them do the same layout with the 150w lights and...

    Diesel fuel in torpedo heater?

    I checked Speedway and it's 1.5hrs away to the closest location with K1. This is a older Ready heater I have had for many years it don't see allot of action expect when I'm forced to work outside. Been thinking about propane but those things eat some gas when cranked up!

    Diesel fuel in torpedo heater?

    I have a 55K Btu torpedo I use from time to time and my new location I moved too don't have good access to K1. Is it ok to run pump diesel in these heaters? My new shop is not insulated yet and the mini splits are a few months out so I need something to keep the chill down for now.

    Split Panel clamp?

    Well I did find these from Bridgeport guess that's the easiest option. Just require a thin blade cut to split it.

    Split Panel clamp?

    Yes it's purely cosmetic and not code. The inspector was right to point it out however he can't enforce anything just cover his tail but it can affect the price of the unit and possibly cause a sale to go belly up. I'm looking for the larger plastic Rome bushing and don't really see any larger...

    Split Panel clamp?

    All of the Romex for the condo. Probably 10-12 wires. I been looking for a easy fix but don't see that there is one. and I highly doubt the owners will want to foot the bill to fix it right considering it has not caused a issue in 40 years.

    Split Panel clamp?

    I got a home inspection list to repair today and one item on the list was the service panel was missing a Romex connector clamp. When I got there I found that all the wires and feeds are fed down though one of the large knock outs. This is a 40 year old condo and I would guess all the units in...

    Does anyone regret installing high bay lighting in their shop?

    I'm in the process of deciding what light type as well for my 35' x 50' x 13.5' garage. I looked at both types of light and thought the UFO's were it but I don't like the lights hanging down I prefer surface mounted. That narrows it quite a bit even though some linear's have a mounting kit...

    4 way switch?

    I opted to do a 3 way now not a 4 way being it don't meet code. I'm planning on having the lights and power at the source on the first switch and have the second switch at the house 175' away where the 3 wire will end. Light load is 4- 13w Led bulbs and 2- 23w spot lights so based on charts 12...

    4 way switch?

    Correct I'm axing the 4 way and just doing a 3 way setup. I'm using the single 12/3 wire I ran to dead end at the house switch no power or fixture on that end.
