    PEX Expansion Issues

    There are two, one for the full "ring" and the other for those other ones i.e. ring with a crimp. I have the full ring one. Guess it's impact driver attachment not "drill" but I have one of those too...

    PEX Expansion Issues

    Hopefully, a bump for you but if possible, questions too. I'm not making any money currently. So, I have been trying to do some badly needed work myself. My house is copper, except for where a plumbing company did my washer shutoff valves...they did pex. From, what I read, I thought most...

    Tankless hot water heater install/conversion advice

    I know that, but I start with sub-panels, I believe, before replacing the main breaker box. 1 reason is that some hacky wiring has been done in the past and some of the circuits don't make a lot of sense. Also, the subs don't have to match the main or anything else and I think they are cheaper...

    Tankless hot water heater install/conversion advice

    I think you are right and it needs to be replaced, regardless. I think, I will try to go backwards; i.e. put sub-panels in the house and then do the main panel. Is there a comparable electrical forum? Also, let me know any recommendations for panels and sub-panels. I'm reading and watching...

    Tankless hot water heater install/conversion advice

    I need to see if I can find info on that panel. I'll keep trying. Let me know if anyone knows where I might find it. I think I did once before, but that may have been a few years ago

    Thank You, "legs" was the term, I was looking for, I believe. I'm still learning but I'm working on it and I appreciate all the help

    Tankless hot water heater install/conversion advice

    Sorry No, all the lower breakers are separate .5 inch single throw (come out separately) breakers except for the dryer which is the 30 amp 1 inch tandem, which unlike the pic, is now across two different ..phases (I think that's the term, when it's using both bars) and the top are all dual-pole...

    Tankless hot water heater install/conversion advice

    I will post some of pics on an electrician's board or there does seem to be a Reddit sub that is for that. Let me know if you understand any of that from the pics or have a board in mind to ask. Thank You

    Tankless hot water heater install/conversion advice

    Yes, from my understanding that's correct. From what I can tell, I only have the one. It's usage that's doubling as a dual-pole, is a question I need to answer though.

    Tankless hot water heater install/conversion advice

    I appreciate the info. Yeah, that makes more sense on the lower panel. Thank You for the correction. Based on that, it should mean that between the internal and external heat pump units the maximum is 80amps (the external CB DP 30, internal CB DP 50). I don't trust the AC guys that did the...

    Tankless hot water heater install/conversion advice

    The upper are dual-pole (2 inches each), unless I'm very much mistaken. They are for the largest voltage and amperage requirements all require 240v i.e. electric stove, internal and external heat pump units, and the dryer. In the pic on the bottom of the left is the stove (dual-pole 50), then on...

    Tankless hot water heater install/conversion advice

    I bought my tankless years ago, and I didn't do it right. You might call for a quote and see what they have to say. In my case, I hated to it, simply because I don't have the money to pay for it being professionally done now, but my existing hot water heater went out and I thought, I could...

    Tankless hot water heater install/conversion advice

    I think your right but for now, I may have to make do. I simply can't afford that now. At least, I'm within the manufactures minimum recommendations. I grant you that they are very low and don't seem to consider much. I chipped away at that concrete and found the conduit that I could see from...

    Tankless hot water heater install/conversion advice

    Finding room here seems like it will not be fun but you can see some concrete I can try and remove in the first pic.

    Tankless hot water heater install/conversion advice

    This breaker box seems a bit different the top half is normal, but the bottom half is feed via two 50 amp circuit breakers from the top (the bottom right of the top set). That's most clear in the second pic, I think. I moved the 30 amp one you now see in the top left of the lower set from the...

    Tankless hot water heater install/conversion advice

    I got it installed and it's leak checked! Again, this is a temporary measure, for a while, until I do other work e.g. electrical and can redo the drywall and copper later. Plus, I need to ensure the unit works.

    Tankless hot water heater install/conversion advice

    First, I had it wrong. I did post this, but it's two 50 amp double-pole breakers. well, I said dual instead of double pole

    Tankless hot water heater install/conversion advice

    Wow, thank You! That's a lot of great information. 1. I'll try the soldering when the time comes. The braided hoses are more temporary and the hot water won't be consumed but I will plan on changing them out. At this point, I need hot water, and I need to make sure the unit works. Also, I...
