So can I use the armorlite for my circuit or not:dunno:

Im hooking up a hobart handler 190. Bought 10-2 romex, and planned to pull it through 3/4 emt. I didnt realize that i had to buy a seperate bender just for 3/4, I have 1/2". Well then at lowes I passed by some armored flex and am thinking it would be simpler just to run that instead, no...

Thanks for everyone's input. I have decided to go 10/2 and 30 amp breaker. Its been a while since Ive posted here and my shop progress stalled out due to a few health issues. I back for the most part now and will try and finish my shop. Good to be back to a site where old school knowledge is...

Thanks to all who have replied, I will recap what I think I understand... 1. I can run 10 /2 wg and 30A breaker. 2. I do not have the welder yet therefor the only access I could find was a one page spec data from the manufacturer which really was not clear on wire size. My goal is to have the...

Did a quick search and couldn't couldn't find anything. Getting ready to purchase wire and breaker to accommodate Hobart 190. From what I gather, I will need 6ga wire and a 50a breaker...? The welder will not be under a serious extended load at anytime.

The walls are 8Ft tall, 2x4 studs, romex 12/2 wire. Inside walls and outside(to my shop wall) will be covered in 1/2 sheetrock. dimensions are 14Wx30L within my 30x50 shop...

I am building an office within my shop (stand alone building)..., it just dawned on me that I may have to place 2x4 fire blocks within the framing of the walls...?, Im leaning towards no and hopefully I am correct as I am almost 3/4 through rough wiring:eyecrazy:

I am bulding a 14X 30 office within my 30x50 shop. Am I required to put 2x4 fire blocks in between the studs...., This just dawned on me..., hopefully not as I am almost 3/4 of the way done with rough wiring...:eyecrazy:

Could someone pls tell me if my wiring plan will work as mentioned at the begging of this post will work :eyecrazy:

OK, I was leaning towards 12/2 for the lights anyhow its just so damn difficult to deal with at the boxes... with that being said, is my wiring proposal correct / safe...?

Help..., I am getting confused .. I have a small bath...my current plan is as follows: my input lead is 12/2. It is a dedicated circuit for the bath only. I have two outlets, two lights and a light / fan combo. I want to tie all lights to include the fan to all come on using one single pole...

Thats what I used as logic..., but then again, like I said, Im new at this , working slowly and as safely as possible.

So can the disconnect be mounted 9 ft off the ground...? Also isnt it suppossed to be within arms reach of the device it disconnects...?

Aceman..., could you give me a quick explaination of how that is used..., Im new to this and have never heard of one of those

building a 30x14 room inside my shop. interior wall back side faces open part of my shop.., problem is I have to put outlets on both sides of wall. Does the NEC say anything about this type scenario. I understand the whole issue of putting metal protection plates where wiring runs through...

I am installing a tankless water heater...running 6 ga romex. my panel is 30 ft straight line distance to where the heater will be, my question is how close to the appliance does the disconnect have to be and how high off the ground. The heater will be app 10 foot off the ground..., and Im...

Thanks for the help guys..., I will take the 8 ga back and get the 6. This will not be continuous demand and will only be used a few times per year but when it used I wanted it to be able to provide more than the 3 gpm per minute than he next step down that I could have used the 6 ga with, but I...

wanting to install a rheem rte 13..., the specs call for 6 ga wire with 60 amp breaker (240)... For some reason I bought a 50 ft roll of 8 ga wire thinking that would be sufficient. The extension whip on the product is 8 ga.... I can take the wire back and get 6 ga but that seems excessive to...

To make a long story short, I am finishing off off a room in my shop and am starting the wiring rough in. I am using metal receptacle boxes, had a few left over and plus I felt they were sturdier than the plastic ones. I am using 12/2 wire. I attempted to pigtail the wires in to the box and...

This is killin me and I need help. About to start running romex through my framing... I am using metal outlet boxes because I had some left over but more so because I thing they perform and feel more adequate than the plastic ones... outlet boxes are 18" off the ground with lets say 3/4 "...
