I am about to hook up an inductive cooktop and separate stove to my old 220 stove wire, I thought i could use wire connectors but the biggest ones i have, red ones, do not look big enough to hold all the wires, is there some type of connector I should get?

I am replacing my electric stove with a separate oven and inductive cooktop, I have looked online for wiring help but do not see much, the existing wiring is pretty new and is 4 wire, one site says use the same breaker but use a junction box, I am not sure what that means exactly, the new items...

this is a remodeling page, right? so why are you even here, idiot

stick to plumbing. Standards do not tell you the distance the nailer covers between walls, geez!

Hi I am looking to install some 3/4" x 4" maple flooring in a hallway that is about 3' by 10', the boards will be running along the 10' stretch so I am not sure how to nail it down, it seems like a nailer won't be of much good given the 3' width so asking if it is worth renting one or just hand...

Hi Worth, thanks, There is in fact an overflow hole, it is in the front, not the back so I did not notic it. I have taken it apart and will try putting it back together better later today, what I don't get is where water would be coming from as it leaks directly under the sink, just a drip, but...

sprry, trying to edit or delete this but can't, problem not what I thought , sorry

So my wife's ongoing effort to make my life more difficult is doing fine, she got a bathroom faucet set a while ago and I finally set up a pedestal sink, everything seemed fine for a few days but today got a small drip from directly on the bottom/underside sink downspout where I put in a rubber...

I am no plumber but in my new house I used a Sioux Chief copper set up with pex, no problems so far, makes it much easier for a do it yourselfer

It looks like there is a removable panel in there, the darker boards , one notched under the pipe going into the wall? There are screws in it, like it could be taken out.

Could you run it along the attic floor to the smaller rear vent, giving a slight rise? Or using option 3, instead of going down, run it thru the roof near the peak on the back?

I built a new house and hired a guy I was told was a plumber, he was a hack maintenance guy somewhere, before I fired him he had run a good deal of the pex for the hot water base board, then I got a real outfit to finish the heating and there were two leaks from the first guy, both in the second...

I’m don’t have much experience but I did 3 sinks and 3 toilets using the shark bite connectors onto the copper stub outs, easy for me and no problems, may cost more

Can you go down through the floor an up to a switch?

I want to put up 3 ceiling lights in the attic, I have a folding staircase roughly in the middle of the house with a switch in the second floor wall, not connected but I ran a good length of wire into the attic which is in the middle near the drop down. So one light over the stairs and then one...

Hi I am a bit confused as to the correct terms, the pressure switch I am referencing is the one at the pressure tank, the way the whole thing was set up about 30 years ago was the trailer was put in and the neighbor's house had a dug well so they put a tank and wiring into both locations but...

Hi Reach, that was fast! I have tried several times to post pictures but even at the smallest setting they won't post. The pressure is reading about 58 . Too high? I cut open the filter, it is like a roll of tape, pretty solid, I can see why it would clog up easily, I thought they were like a...

I moved from a trailer to a new house I built on same lot, never had any filters nor softener in the trailer and the water was okay, no problems, but I installed a cartridge filter and softener in new house and after only 3 weeks the water flow dropped way down and the water got really salty, ...

hi Worth , thanks for your time, it is a new outlet, Leviton 55050, with 6 gauge wire, I have had no luck posting pictures, even with the smallest setting it always says Too Big. the small pic on the plastic package shows the screw holding down a solid wire, I cannot find any diagrams so far...

I am attaching the wire that goes from main panel, not yet connected, to the 220 stove outlet. It seems like a poor design, there is a kind of flip thing with a screw on it which clips into place and then the screw should tighten down over the wire, but with stranded wire the screw does not...
