    Confusion on convection oven wiring

    I acquired a never used Ikea (Whirpool) built in convection oven second hand. It's rated at 7.4 kW @ 240V. I calculated that to be 30.8 amps. What's confusing is that both the red and black hot wires coming off the oven are only 12awg, and the neutral 16awg. The mfg recommends a 40 amp...

    Professional grade tube/fitting brushes and tube cutters

    Is there a website that carries pro grade plumbing tools? I'm looking for high quality, long lasting tube and fitting brushes, as well as tube cutters for 1/2" up to 2" copper. I've tried various Rigid tube cutters over the years, with mixed results. My rigid 151 for 1/4 to 1-5/8" is decent...

    120 grit emery cloth

    I just used up the last of my roll of 120 grit emery cloth. on the back it says "CTC-255" It's 1-1/2" wide and I believe is 120 grit. I was told it's a US Forge product, but looking online the only US Forge 120 grit emery cloth is 1" wide and not 1-1/2", which I prefer. I'm not hung up on...

    PEX questions

    Hi, I'm designing a parallelreverse return hydronic radiator heating system for my home and am deciding between copper and PEX-AL-PEX for supply and return. I typed "PEX" in the seach bar, selected titles only and got zero returns. I also looked for and didn't see a Hydronics forum so not...

    Hydronic radiator balancing valve question

    I'm installing Runtal rads. Runtal sells decorative lockshield valves to be installed on the outflow pipe of their radiators. Is this valve suitable for balancing a multi-rad system where all rads have the lockshield valve?

    Need to find high output torch for 2" copper

    Are you saying that all propane torch burners are the same? I was thinking there were burners that put out more BTU's than the standard pencil flame burner.

    Need to find high output torch for 2" copper

    Under 100 dollars. Keep in mind I'm going to be using this also to toast/chat oak sticks for wine fermenting so the gas must be food-friendly (that eliminates oxy-acet, not sure about MAPP. Propane is food friendly). Thanks

    Need to find high output torch for 2" copper

    I need to find a high output torch to solder 2" and larger copper. Anyone recommend a good quality make/model? I prefer propane since I also use it to char oak sticks for fermenting wine and need clean burning gas.

    Shower trap riser tilted due to 1/4" per foot drain slope

    If the drain line is sloped 1/4" per foot, then wouldn't that force the trap riser to be tilted from vertical, and therefore cause the clamping drain to be out of level with the floor? There must be a simple solution...what am I missing? Are traps designed to slightly more than 90 degrees to...

    I need help with hydronic heating installation

    I was told by the Runtal rep that in a mono-flo system the water is cooler by the time it get's to the last radiator...which makes sense to me since each succeeding radiator is draining heat from the water. He said the parallel piping will ensure a consistently heated water supply to all...
