    Transition from in-wall to outdoor EMT conduit options?

    Thanks for the responses guys, I was trying to think this all through in my head and I should have just went down to the hardware store before I posted. I went down to Home Depot and all their EMT LBs are set screw only, but the Rigid LBs are threaded and I can use them with a liquid tight...

    Transition from in-wall to outdoor EMT conduit options?

    I'm adding a new outdoor outlet, which I plan to run a new circuit from my main panel along the side of the house preferably with surface mount EMT. The connector transition from the in-wall wiring to the surface mount EMT is where I am having trouble figuring it out. I've seen a LB type...

    Cracket Closet Flange Repair Options

    I thought I'd follow up with what I ended up doing. I wasn't able to put a new flange on top of the old once since it was causing the toilet to sit off the finished floor. When I actually measured with a level, the old flange was actually sitting around 1/4" above the finished floor. But...

    Cracket Closet Flange Repair Options

    The existing flange is pretty much level with the finished floor, if anything 1/16" higher. I tried screwing in an Oatey twist-n-set flange on top of the existing, with no wax ring on it, the toilet sits around 1/4" above the finished floor, so I don't think that will work?? I suppose another...

    Is this subpanel wired properly?

    I'm not sure if it's clear from the picture, but there are four open breaker slots to the left of the existing breakers.

    Is this subpanel wired properly?

    Thank you for the detailed info. I hadn't seen the grounding bushings before. Regarding the panel feed size, how do they consider things like outlets? I know my main panel has far more "non-continuous" load than feed (200A) if you consider all the outlet circuits (all 20A). Just curious...

    Is this subpanel wired properly?

    Thank you both for the info. Sounds pretty straight forward. I'll definitely add a terminal bar and get the ground fixed. I'll work on fixing the wires too, they are short runs anyways. I had never heard of the 6 hand motions rule before (learn something new every day). The circuit I was...

    Is this subpanel wired properly?

    Hello, I have a surface mount subpanel in my garage which has been present since I bought the place (I didn't wire it up). I am thinking about adding a circuit to it, so I pulled the cover to take a look at how it's wired and I'm wondering if the panel ground is wired correctly. This...
