L1 & L2 as in "Leg 1" and "Leg 2?"

Branded under a different name, but essentially the same heater as Falcon. Here is a picture of the wiring instructions from the manual. This is all they have and now I see it doesn't say "neutral," it just says "white" wire. Is the white wire in this application supposed to be repurposed as a hot?

Ok, so I got a turnlok receptacle and plug and wired it up on both ends with 2-conductor (plus ground) #10 wire. The heater only has mounting points for 1 neutral, one hot and one ground. I am not making the connection to the panel, but I really don't get how 10-2 wire is going to connect to a...

All right, I'm inspired. This is essentially the same heater I have. Going to pick up the parts tonight...

Too bad I don't live in Chicago anymore... Although if I still did, I probably wouldn't have room for this. :) Incidentally, I saw the Whalen Costco box yesterday that's in one of these threads and have to say at $565, I think it's worth the premium on the Sam's box at $399. But, at $225, I'd...

Wow, that thing is killer. Wish I had the budget for something like it...

Where are you located, out of curiosity?

I've considered this, but mainly was shying away from it because of the added cost. The heater is a 30 amp, 250V, 2-conductor (with ground). I didn't check an electrical supply house, but the only 10-gauge cord wire I could find at HD was 10/4. I assume they make a 10/2 cord wire? I do kind of...

I thought I would bring this thread back from the dead, rather than start a new one. I have a similar (same?) heater and plan to hardwire it to the panel. However, my walls will be drywalled and I can't envision some conduit and or wire just emerging from the wall into the heater. What's...

Okay, so no open storage. I like the look of closed storage better anyway, so happy to hear this. I know there's no such thing as "too much" on this board, but in practice, did anybody feel like they overdid it on cabinets, tool cabinets, workbench size (thanks for the good advice on depth) or...

I don't use air as much as I though I would, but that might be because my compressor only pushes about 6 SCFM at 40 psi. That said, my plan now is to place the compressor in one back corner and run a line across the back wall with a few fittings spaced across the line. A retractable reel in the...

Great questions!

Okay, as the title suggests, how would you answer this question now that you've lived with your garage/shop setup for a while? I'm building a modest 24x20 two-car garage where (for the first time) I would like to have it setup with a little bit of dedicated shop space - workbench...

Good, I think this makes sense. I can fit two pieces of 14/2 in 1/2" KO of my own making with a romex clamp (have to check out the plastic ones; have only ever used the metal ones) for the in-feed and the out-feed to the next light and just staple each cable to the truss chord. I do have a...

That was my next thought...

That's what I was afraid of. I'll take a closer look, but my initial inspection shows all the topside knockouts being down the center - right where the stud would be once I screw it down. There are a couple on the side, but I wanted to keep all the wiring in the ceiling. Are the placement of...

I'm going to be installing 10 8' T8 fixtures (4, 4-foot bulbs) and I'm using the tandem fixtures from Lowe's (Cooper Lighting ~40 bucks/ea). The lights have an extra large knockout in the center of each light, so my original plan was to run Romex along the bottom chord of the truss, mount the...

Falcon67 - thanks for the pic. I'll also check out the TIP site. Possibly dumb question, does the black iron pipe accept standard NPT fittings, or do you have to adapt it somehow? Also when you join sections of pipe, do you just use teflon tape or something different? Steevo, First of all, I...

Excellent suggestions. I would not have put the outlets at 50" from the floor and would have kicked myself for it later. So, and I have not searched on this yet, but will, is the prevailing wisdom for permanent air lines to use gas piping?

Wow, I knew this forum was good! Great ideas on running additional conduit to the attic. I will be building with storage trusses and will need to light and power that space. I like the idea of running 20 amp outlets everywhere. The cost of wire and outlet's aren't enough to take a chance on...
