    MC connector sizing, here we go again.

    I purchased MC cable for my project. It's 8/3. I went a long with the "People also bought this " thing and getting straps and MC connectors like it said . The connectors came and they are 3/4 inch. My cable just came in too. I lined up one of the MC 3/4 connector over the MC cable. Way to...

    Romex wire Question.

    Got my question/questions answered. I never paid any attention to the color coding of NMb. The black NMb is stranded and that makes sense. I wondered about that. I can sleep tonight Bill

    Romex wire Question.

    I've seen Romex cable in two different presentations. 1. flat white cable with individual wires molded into one piece 2. Round black cable with the individual wires loosly bound by the black covering. I understand that you should not use Romex in conduit. Code violation. Is Romex, Romex no...

    Wiring 50 amp welder plug to my power box in a pole barn.

    Got it. I'll use 8/3 and terminate the white as not used now but maybe for the future. So black and red are hot and Ground (green) goes to ground. This is a 6/50 P plug (welder plug). Still don't understand why this guy connected white and ground to the Grounded bar in the panel.

    Wiring 50 amp welder plug to my power box in a pole barn.

    I saw the video which drew my concerns again yesterday. He used 3 wire (and a bare ground). Where I get concerned, is he connected the Neutral and the bare ground to the Ground bar in the panel. In the plug, two hots, neutral screwed in. And the ground wire connected to the box that the...

    I have three different high current machines. Mig, Stick, and Plasma. Not comfortable with the #10 . Looks like I will be using #8.

    Wiring 50 amp welder plug to my power box in a pole barn.

    I could also purchase MC cable, but the same questions hold for terminating wires at the welder plug.

    Location for Filters, Regulators, etc. on my air compressor system.

    BillK, then what you are saying is that the air 5 feet away must be hot or warm and not giving up any moisture. But, 40 feet away there is a lot of water, so it must be because the air cooled down and is giving up the moisture. I wonder if the directions will say something about location when...

    Location for Filters, Regulators, etc. on my air compressor system.

    Great pictures, thanks I wrote FRL but really only FR. Not getting the lubricator. I got caught up in the terminology. 50 feet of industrial hosing came with the compressor. I bought it from someone who most likely got it an auction or the like. Few things were missing and the motor was...

    Location for Filters, Regulators, etc. on my air compressor system.

    I did a little more digging. This guy said that the hose was needed to make sure the air coming out wasn't hot. Because hot air going into a filter will not yield water. So having the long hose allows the air to cool first then it gets filtered? I can see where he's coming from, but I don't...

    Location for Filters, Regulators, etc. on my air compressor system.

    Yesterday I came across a statement, for the first time, about where the filter should be located. I just purchased a FRL for my system and was looking where to insert it into the system. This guy said to make sure that it is installed several feet away from the compressor, like 50 feet...

    Water separator on Air Compressors.

    I got a response from Graco. They said the kit is no longer available. Strange! You can buy the 106149 filter yet, but they won't sell the filter kit. I don't get it. Anyway I purchased one from E-bay. If I need another, I guess I'll go with a different manufacture. ARO has a nice one but...

    Water separator on Air Compressors.

    I tried buying a 20 micron filter using kit number 108035 but had no luck finding it anywhere. This compressor is from 1976. You can buy the Graco assembly, but I can't find parts availble for it.
