    Can a 3way switch short?

    A short to ground is when a hot contacts a ground; it is a universally recognized term. On the other hand the term "short" is never used to refer to an intended circuit; it is always accidental. I hope you guys are just having some fun, rather then really being ignorant, but I won't be coming...

    Can a 3way switch short?

    A short normally refers to creating an unintended path, generally to ground. Completing an intended circuit would not be a short.

    Can a 3way switch short?

    I don't think so. There were just 4 wires in the box and I wired the replacement switch up exactly the same, and it worked normally then. The only possibility I can think of, other than a defective switch, is that the ground wire was excessively long. It might have been making contact with...

    Can a 3way switch short?

    I have a 30 year old house that is for sale. The realtor told me that the lights in the bathroom didn't work. I found the circuit was shorted. After checking 4 outlets and 9 switches I found that removing the very last item, a 3way switch, fixed the problem. I replaced the switch and all is...

    Help with the venting on my water heater

    I bought a 6 year old house with a State Select PR650XCVIT with a 2" vent, and have a few questions about the installation. 1) It say the termination must be a 2" T or a 3" 45 elbow. Mine comes out the wall, has a 45 elbow and a foot of 2" pipe. So it is not right, but it is hard to see why...
