I have a Siemens CB panel PN2020L1125C, that specifies 20 spaces 20 circuits. But it accepts QT (thin) breakers. So my question is, does a double pole 240V breaker count as two circuits or 1. Can I put 10 240V breakers and 10 120V breakers in this box?

I'm in kind of an emergency situation at the moment with temps dropping down to near 0°F. Two days ago I smelt a burning smell and was unable to determine there it was coming from. Then yesterday I tripped the 2 pole 240V 60 amp e-heat CB, which in turn shuts down the entire heat pump system. I...

I will be installing a 8500W heater on a 40A CB. According to this it looks like I can use #10 THHN or THWN-2. But according to Wire & Cable Your Way its only good for 30 A. So which is it?

Last year I had my cars down on the ground for the winter for the first time in 3 years. They were attacked by mice. The previous two years for storage purposes I had one car up on a lift and the other was used regularly. No mice for those two years. So I am thinking maybe mice cant clime a lift...

Hello Just some of mys solutions to BendPak or any 4 post lift leakage issues. I purchased a BendPak 4 post lift about 19 years ago. I have noticed that the cylinder leaked somewhat since new.It wasn't enough to be concerned at the time as the leak was so small that anything that leaked onto...

Hello, I have a question about dehumidifier quality. My garage is partitioned with 21 x 28.33 (~600sq=ft)area and a 16 x 28.33 (~450 sq-ft) areas. Both with 13' average ceilings. Both areas have dehumidifiers running at ~ 45% Rh. The larger room uses a ~ 10 year old Santa-Fe Advanced2 90 pint...

Does anyone know how to disassemble the Prevost S1 air couplers. These are pretty expensive so I would like to rebuild it. Thanks John

I'm using a Harbor Freight Central Machinery pipe threader. Needles to say it cuts like ****. Hoping to get better results using a better oil. To date I have been using Mobilmet 766 cutting oil. Which is a light colored oil but I'm not sure this is specifically for Black Pipe or is it for...

I have a question about the location of the gas regulator vent. I have two regulators, one for my propane boiler and one for my generator. I was told that the vents had to be 10' from the generator and that's where they are now. But I would like to build an outside shed for my compressor and...

Hello I have a question regarding building a shack outside my garage to house my air compressor. The shack will be against the exterior wall of the garage. It will touching the garage but according to the town it cannot be attached to the garage. So I would like to build a pad of some kind that...

Just installed a used Rotary SPO9-400 lift. Works perfectly with no car on it, but once a loaded it really shutters bot up and down. One thing I noticed is that the carriage slides appear to be aftermarket, based on the white color. The original Rotary parts appear to be black. The Rotary slides...

I was gone for about a month on vacation and in that time the rodents went wild on my new epoxy floor. They also got into my cars but the question here is how to clean the floor. I had one pile that dripped out of a hole in my trunk onto the floor. It left a tar like stain on the floor that I...

I getting ready to wire up my Rotary SPO9 lift but I don't understand the relay diagram. The relay controls a 240V single phase motor. Not sure if pins 0 and 1 are the coil. and if they are the coil does that mean a circuit is closed between pins 2 and 4 and another circuit is closed between 6...

I now have my system up and running and it seams to be working with the default settings of just about everything. But there still seems to be a lot of tweaking that should be done. First off after about 12 hr of running I find the tater temp at the input and output of the manifolds to be ~ 140°...

OK as far as I know the radiant heating system is all up and ready to fire up. Propane lines are leak tested, antifreeze is filled but may still have a bit of air in it. My only real problem is that I have no understanding on the settings required for this. The only setting I changed from the...

Hello guys I have a basic question about temperature control in my garage. I installed my radiant heating system and am now getting pretty close to firing it up. I did install a conduit with a heat sensor in the slab for each zone. Currently the sensors are connected to the two S terminals of...

Hello all. I have a new radiant heating system fully installed and ready for commissioning. It was to be checked out and commissioned by my cousin but with heating system in full swing he is not going to be able to travel. So it looks like I am on my own. In any case its a 2 zone system using...

I just purchased a used Rotary SP09 lift. It calls for 3/4" 5-1/2" Anchors to be torqued to 150Ft-lb. All of the anchors I can find in that size range have a torque specification of 110Ft-lb. I would like to get longer anchors for deeper embedment in to my 7" slab so purchasing from Rotary is...

Hello Gentlemen I have two questions regarding SEOOW and SJOOW wire. The application is for a garage lift so the cable will never see the garage floor, as it will be on a twist lock plug on the ceiling. My first question is that every wire I have ever seen in use is rated at 600V, including...
