Depending on the size and length of run, the HDPE will stretch. I routinely test large diameter, heavy wall HDPE and it take a long time for it to stretch before it will actually hydrotest well enough that the gauge doesn't drop. With the pressure drop you are showing it is questionable if...

Thanks for the input. I already have a 30A as I thought that is what I would need. But then when the manual stated 35A I was questioning it. I really didn't want to run 8ga NM which is why I was asking the questions. Besides the fact the wires coming out of the back of the heater are 10ga...

Just wondering but the tables in the NEC state that you can go to 35A @ 75C for example (10ga Cu) as long as their are three or less conductors in the cable, conduit, or duct. Since NM 10-2 has only two conductors, I don't see why that rating could not be used? As long as the cable states 75C...

I just purchased a Profusion 6000W heater from NorthernTool. The question is that being 6000W @ 240V draws 25A. So 10ga wire is adequate. However, the instructions say to use 10ga wire and a 35A breaker. I believe the 35A breaker is specified because breakers are really rated at 80% of their...

Just picked up the 44" Box!! Love it. Only paid $349 which of course was the sale price but I have been hunting coupons and the best I found was $359. Happy so far. Darn heavy and hard to handle alone. Was all crated up though which was nice.

Looks like Summit Racing has free shipping and free truck freight currently. Not sure if the shipping issue was still a valid concern. Don't know about unloading either or if they charge you a handling fee. Just saw it and thought I would share. Similar lift I am thinking about.

I have the lowes units and love them so far. Looking to stall many more. Using 5000k Philips bulbs at 3100lumens each.

I just bought some Philips advance 5000K bulbs (82 CRI) with 3100 lumens per 4ft bulb (not yet installed). I really like the 6500K color also and hope I didn't make the wrong choice. Oh well, only one way to find out.

Welcome to the forum. You Subject line reminds me of Mr. Obvious radio skits!! :)

Wow that floor looks great!! Nice job. Best of luck. Like to know what that costs for professional install. How much SF?

Good deal. I thought it was only wet locations and ceilings weren't considered wet. But now I know. Good thing I installed a gfci when I did my opener just in case. :)

GFCI is not actually required for in ceiling receptacles are they? For garage door openers at least. Is that correct?

Are you allowed to drill holes in these super blues and use regular cable clamps?? I don't like those plastic retainers either.

Love the garage. That is almost the same size I was aiming for in the future. Keep us posted. Nice job!!!

Not to hijack the thread but what are the requirements for an expansion sleeve? Also is S80 conduit req for ug? I am thinking all the ug conduit I bought at HD is S40. And I was using that for stub ups also. I'll dbl ck.

How big was the 200A panel? Besides not big enough. :) did it have 40 slots? Maybe you can change some circuits to tandem breakers to make room for the new 100A breaker? Also why Is there a number 4 ground? I think per code you only need a number 8 for 100A. Although since you only have 2-#2's...

Thanks for the input guys. I like the idea of mixing it up. I am not really planning on an inspection for these changes. The garage and electrical are existing and were inspected originally. I am making these changes behind the scenes. I like the smart boxes also. And I may just install some...

So my question is that I have an unfinished garage that I am looking to install many new outlets during my wiring/rewiring. I also plan on covering the walls with OSB as opposed to drywall. With that being said I am thinking it will be quicker and easier if I just leave my wires hanging in...

Not sure which one you are talking about but it looks like a regulator and check valve/backflow preventer. Atleast there are unions there so replacement shouldn't be too bad. And I think that regulator is pretty common. Although unless you have high press or need low pressure I'm not sure why...

Wow, that looks great. I love the way it came out. I have been contemplating doing an Epoxy floor myself or having it done. I am leaning towards the latter as you suggested. What size is your garage and what was the installed cost if I can ask that.
