    Can I use 1950 junction box with ROMEX® ?

    I have 12 gauge conductors. It is a receptacle. There may be, say, a light fixture plugged into it. ROMEX® has three conductors, one for neutral.

    Can I use 1950 junction box with ROMEX® ?

    Hello all: I am planning to rewire my home built in 1950. The current junction box at an outlet measures 3x2x2, and meets the current volume requirements. However, when I look at the 314.16(B) table, I see 4" as the height. Do I have to replace the junction boxes since the height does not...

    How do I make the snake move in drum trap drain?

    I thought about this a bit more and checked on Internet. These traps seem to be several feet away from the location I am starting the snake at. I'm able to insert the snake only about 2 1/2 feet. I think I'm hitting something else. Probably the p-trap. Deguza

    How do I make the snake move in drum trap drain?

    Hello All: I finally figured out how to remove the overflow knob and now have vertical access to the bathtub drain. (You can read elsewhere on Internet by travails on this matter.) However, although I am able to get the snake in vertically, I cannot make it get it to move more that 2.5...
