Hi guys! I'm looking at spraying my vehicle with Rust Check before winter. I have an old spray gun and pressure pot, however I want to purchase a wand kit from Lemmer (see pics attached).
Any one know here I can buy a tip like the one pictured so I can attached the wands to my old spray gun? It...
Doh! Rookie mistake, I had the breaker plugged into a single leg of the panel. Dropped the breaker down 1 spot to span both left and right has sides of the panel, flipped the breaker to the on position and she purrs like a cat.

Update:
I changed the oil and flipped the breaker on and turned the disconnect to the on position and nothing. I guess it's better than sparks flying and parts exploding. :)
First thing I did was test all fuses for continuity and they were all good. Back to square 1. Any chance the disconnect is...
It was an old disconnect. I drilled and tapped the ground screw. Then scrapped the paint off of the box before I screwed the ground to the box.

Corrected the ground on the disconnect and wired it according to the advice here. Haven't started it up yet. Have to change the oil first.
How does the wiring look?

Lol watched a YouTube video of a guy that wired his compressor that way. I assumed it would be okay to use that third pole for the ground.
What do you suggest for the ground? Can I simply marette the grounds together?

I'm gonna finish the wiring tomorrow and I'll post pics. My goal is to get this thing running by the weekend. Gotta change the timing belt in my truck and air tools will make my life much easier.

Its a baldor 5 HP single phase motor. I ran the Romex through that grey flexible conduit down the wall to the disconnect and from the disconnect to the compressor.
Interesting note, the guy I bought the compressor from said it was hooked upto a three phase panel. I just assumed he was mistaken...
I recently purchased a used 80 gallon single phase compressor. I installed a new 30 amp breaker in my electrical panel and ran 10-2 Romex to a disconnect near the compressor. From the disconnect I'm running a 4' piece of 10-2 Romex to the compressor.
The compressor came with a magnetic starter...
My wife and I purchased a house which has a new Gas-Flo natural gas quick connect outside for the barbecue. However we have an old Weber (2004) barbecue and the gas line from the barbecue does not click or lock in place when connected to the female outlet on the house. The male end from the...
Good idea. Then all I would need to do is put a cover plate over the box extension and run 10/2 to the desired location. I'm only going approximately 5' around the corner, would it be better to use BX cable or metal conduit?
Great, I'm looking at a used 80 gallon with a 5hp motor with an amp draw of 25.5 amps. So the 10/3 will be adequate with a 30 amp breaker?
Now I just have to figure how to deal with the placement of the outlet.
Hi guys, my next tool purchase is going to be a large compressor. The existing wiring appears to be 10/3. I'm looking at purchasing a 60 to 80 gallon 2 stage compressor. I need to know:
1) Will 10/3 be adequate for a compressor that large?
2) The electritian put the outlet is in a bad spot...
Re: My Five Car Garage (Continued)
Nice, it looks like you used every inch of space. I like the pegboard wall, I'm thinking of doing the same thing in my garage. How did you secure the pegboard to the wall and keep the holes usable?
