There is "no such thing" as violating a UL listing. But the product has not been test or listed (most likely) with cord removed and hard wired. Another option is to cut the plug off and bring the cord of the operator into a junction box with a connector that is rated for cord. There was...

For an overhead door to work properly, the spring(s) need to be matched to the weight of the door. And a torsion spring has a specified number of turns, that is the reason for the painted line - to then count the number of turns. Granted I've only installed a few, but this is the basic...

No reason at all. I built some cabinets that I plan to build doors for that open with a top hinge rather than side hinge. (If I ever get to that...)

That is what I was thinking. Put them on the same breaker and run one or the other. It won't be code compliant, but it'll work fine, and is not a hazard.

I agree - no way I'd put a barn door on a bathroom. I also agree they are way over-used. People seem to want to find a place to install one. And I see hundreds of new houses/ renovations in my day job. With that said, I put one in my own house in my basement office, which provides access to...

Notice the non-molded plug on the lift. I'm assuming it is used and previous owner used whatever he had in the shop to install or repair it.

I vote for the wooden plumb. I've used similar over the years. I do use the steel Estwings now and also a Stanley anti-vibe. But of those 2, I like the wooden handle.

Thank you all for the replies!! Glad to hear the XL and Diamond are same thickness. I didn't even consider that....and I ordered double what I asked about yesterday...yesrerday.... I'm doing a "field" in my detached garage which was all black (big mistake) and replacing the field in my...

I see it now....my apologies...it's "next to" the thhn rating. At least in one pic.... (seriously didn't see it previously)

Polaris splices would be fine. They are configured as "in-line" or "****" where in-line is end to end and **** is both conductors side by side. (this isn't an official explanation) I agree that a 'big picture' explanation would help....

It is THHN/ MTW rated according to what I'm seeing. I don't see the THWN wet rating. Most THHN is dual rated THWN, but I'm not seeing that here. When I have seen THHN/ MTW ratings, it has typically had more strands than "regular" thhn. But that is typically on smaller AWG sizes. The larger...

Where is the water meter? After the shark bite? The water supply would have to have a shut-off at it's entrance point, if it were my decision. Mine comes in from the street in copper, with a ball valve before the meter. Built 2013

Sorry, I didn't read the thread thoroughly. I can't delete previous post. Given the plug connection fixtures, I think the 12 are sufficient. Maybe well more than sufficient

Use it in conduit for whatever you need supplied by #2 awg copper. Basically a 100 amp load, in conduit, without getting into any specifics. An yes it can supply more than 100 amps, but not sure what that load would be.

You need to let us know dimensions (width/ length/ height) and finish. A nice plastered and painted garage will illuminate way different than the pole barn posts and sheathing. Lighting has changed dramatically in the last 10 years. I just did what I'd consider a small (24x24 - no possible...

Agreed. But 40 amp rated cords with a 50 amp plug are common. The are installed on most ranges, and I'm sure you are aware. This is for others. I put one on Wednesday, before thanksgiving, for a friend/ customer. Not sure what OP is using that is 40A.

College today isn't what it was when "you" were there. We sent both of our kids there with nothing the first year (dorm life) and a car and AAA card after that. Neither one of them (girl and boy) can turn a screwdriver. ( that in and of itself is a different discussion - but I don't want a...

Azak will last forever, as others mentioned. If I was doing wood, I vote for teak. I know, I didn't add any value here, just a vote or two.

You can "Trim" the drywall with either 1x stock or 2x stock and either lag into it (2x) or through it (1x). On top of the drywall. I would not lag the door hardware on top of the drywall into the framing behind it. The drywall will 'crush' as the door is operated over the years. The door...

Edit: After searching the racedeck site more, I can see that they are compatible. I know it's Thanksgiving, but being a nice low keyed holiday here in our house, I'm doing some browsing. Can anyone confirm if the Racedeck XL can be used with Racedeck Diamond? I have a single color floor that...
