    Replacing Emergency light

    Replacing an emergency light that fell off the ceiling when was being tested and confused with 2 extra wires. I have the 120v plug but also a red and blue 16 gauge set of wires that for the life of me can't figure out where they connect to in the head unit. They are connected to a 14/2 romex...

    I'm having trouble understanding this gauge. The no go part would indicate that the ring was compressed too much? Correct? Why would that fail? damaged the pex tubing?.......

    Pump sizing

    What would happen if i connected a jet shallow pump 3/4hp to a system (lateral)that required only 5 gpm. Flow out of the pump with no pressure (no resistance) is 9gpm. I have no pressure settings on this pump, turn it on and let it pump. Will the pump burn out as the resistance (5gpm) is not...

    popups or rotors

    Pro's and cons of popups vs rotor heads. I understand that I can't mix the 2 on the same zone. $20 for a rotor vs $2 for a popup seems like 10 popups would cover more area than the rotor. Maintenace? connections? ease of install? thanks
