That is good to hear I kept searching for 115 volt versions and they were no where to be found. I have two different type of disconnects. The one that I mounted is fusable and the other one is non fusable. I read the fused version doesn't come with a fuse so I might switch them. As far as a...

I like the expansion pipe on the horizontal Tee idea. The wire I grabbed was THHN. I tried researching and it was a never ending road so I had to make a choice. So I have one of the room's pretty much almost done however I didn't notice at first my disconnect box says 240 volt though my mini...

I just looked up the expansion joint. Is there a section where the expansion joint would be Ideal? The distance of the circuit is going to be roughly around 90 feet or little bit less and I am going to add 3 90 degree elbows per run.

Ok that is what I thought but I started doubting it after a Google search. All the pvc was on the foundation. Thanks fellas

The pic is to big to upload.

Hey guys, I wanted to know if I can run pvc conduit along the outside of my house. My panel is in the basement and my idea was to run the conduit outside the house to two opposite ends for where I am installing mini splits. On the pic I attached my plan was to drill a hole above the basement...

Well the new oven on the plate says 30-35 amps when connected to 3 phase circuit. I took a pic of the plate it is definitely a 208y 3 phase circuit.

I don't have my multimeter with me ATM but I will get a reading ASAP. I did attach more photos of the panel though. If this circuit happens to be 3 phase then wouldn't it be ok to make a power cord and install it to the 3 phase configuration and just plug it in?

I wasn't aware that I had a 3 phase service. I thought it was a single phase service though I wasn't sure. That is why I made this thread.

Yeah that is the old oven's tag that has been replaced. The weird thing I discovered was the power cord to the old oven was 10 gauge. They used the wrong wire size.

Where did you see 8awg? I haven't seen anything like that in the manual. The only wire size requirement I saw was from the old oven's tag.

Ok that was what I was thinking if the oven was going to be wired for single phase though since I have little to no experience with 3 phase I was wondering if converted to 3 phase configuration the existing outlet might work but I had no clue so I'm just going to recommend they install a new...

First pic is from the old oven. Second Pic is the new oven's tag the brand name is Mainstreet. I also uploaded the diagram from the manual. I am almost positive it's not 120volt since the wire thickness looks like 10 gauge when I removed outlet plate to see how thick the wire was.

Hello guys, I work for a hotel and we just received an industrial oven. I have a few concerns. I am trying figure out if the circuit is setup for 3 phase or single phase. The old oven uses like 35amps but this new oven is 3 phase 35 amps, single phase 50 amps. The new oven did not come with a...

The whole project was partly based on raising the upstairs floor from sagging. Yes the whole house is out of level. The joists above were jacked up to raise the upstairs floor and the joists on the bottom are holding the original joists in place. After contemplating it a little bit I was...

Where did everybody go? .......joking...

I'm sorry if I may have made things seem confusing but here is a video of the ceiling so you can see for yourself. https://youtu.be/Vu0uxRNAnpA

The strapping can only make the sheetrock flat to the joists but it won't level the existing ceiling because the strapping is limited to the joists. If I sister onto the new joists I now have a level cieling and flat sheetrock in one move. Sistering to the original joists was the best idea to...

You guys are also not aware that the new ceiling is also slanted. The guy was raising the second story floor as he was installing the ceiling. So there is a huge slant now and I can easily straighten the ceiling by sistering 1x4's or 2x4's. Strapping might be more rigid but it won't straighten...

I really think sistering 2 x 4's is a good idea. It is most likely the fastest way to get it done and it will most likely give the best result. For those who are telling me to run, believe me that is what I want to do. I know it is a **** sandwich. The house is my mothers and she is as stubborn...
