    Opinions on what to do with house with low voltage lighting setup

    These sound like GE RR7 relays. Latching relays that us a LV momentary contact switch to control them. 24 Volts control if I remember right but the relays are full 20A 120V capable. Any MOMENTARY switch could be use but you will need both on / off contacts...

    Derating Confusion

    I'm not sure I'm understanding the question in the first place but the two line legs of 110V carry the current and have a canceling effect with the neutral carrying the imbalance.

    Need a professional plumbers opinion

    Being a non-plumber I said plastic, it was a pex line to the dishwasher. They took a phone deposition from me and I talked about what I saw and simply said that when you push house pressure to above 150 PSI something will pop and the DW supply line was just the weakest link, I just now received...

    Need a professional plumbers opinion

    Did have a PRV installed that is what I assumed failed due to both WH'er pop-off "popping" off. "question is would it be covered now if he did the work when the policy was active? Dunno" Good question and I asked, and no they don't cover after cancellation even when it was done under...

    Need a professional plumbers opinion
