I am planning to install an arc fault breaker on a knob and tube wired circuit. I have installed the arc fault breakers on a sub panel that is wired with romex, which was easy to pair the same...

The top two on the left are wired with 12-2-2, so each has its own neutral. It was run this way to be more efficient with the run. There are no shared neutrals.


The cut off would be the main...

It has to do with the angle of the picture. The fourth breaker on the left is a GFCI breaker that has the neutrals passing through it with the termination being the curled white.

Attached are pictures of how the sub panel is wired. Let me know what you think.47101471024710347104

Yes, the sub panel is fed from a 60 amp circuit breaker in the main panel.

I have a sub panel in the basement that has 10 breakers to power the basement. The sub panel is fed off the main panel that is in the attached garage. The sub panel does not have a main breaker. ...

Thanks for all the replies. There is ductwork above the sink, so any lighting above the sink is not an option. I plan on using a vanity light that has fluorescent bulbs, so heat should not be a...

Thank you for the answer. I thought about flanking, but the sink is in the corner and the light would be about 1.5 inches from the corner. Also thought about one light on one side on the wall of...

I am installing a bathroom in my basement and the ceilings are low and are drywall. We are beginning to design it and want a light above the vanity mirror. The light will be wall mounted. What is...

Remodeling one level of a split. Gutted area and reconfigured the rooms. As a result, all of this existing wiring has been removed. Going to wire with fresh runs from newer breaker box. Looking...

Since February, the main breaker was replaced and this did not resolve the problem. I previously turned off all sub panels and all the breakers in the main box except for one and plugged a light...

The 2nd electrician came out today. He tested the voltage and noted it was pretty even coming in. He torqued down the lugs in the meter box. Inspected both the main and sub panel. On the main...

It took me 2 calls to get POCO (First Energy) out to the house. When I first called, we had snow on the ground and every day I would come home to see if there were any footprints by either the meter...

I am going to call in another electrician. Any value in calling out the poco prior to that?

The time between when the power company came out and the electrician came out I turned off all of the breakers related to all appliances (dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, furnace, and stove). The...

The lights are on multiple circuits. There are no noticeable visible issues with the TV, computer, appliances etc. Even our lamps that are plugged into outlets flicker at the same time. So it...

Yes, all lights flicker at the same time in the whole house.

Our lights intermittently flicker in whole house and have been doing so for about 3 weeks. Since it is intermittent, it took us a while to figure out what was going on and that it was not related to...

I was going to use the Fernco 4 in. No-Hub Cast Iron x 4 in. Sch 40 PVC, Steel and Extra Heavy Cast Iron Neoprene Rubber Shielded Coupling that I got at Home Depot. Fernco 4 in. No-Hub Cast Iron x 4...

Thanks for the answers and reassurance with the connection between the PVC and cast iron. I was getting a little nervous with that approach as I was getting closer to implement. I will go with...

I am moving a bathroom on the concrete slab level of our split level house. I busted through the concrete and I dug the trench for the new drain pipe. The soil was a little on the soft side so I...

Thanks. Just got back from the store and I bought both and will definitely use the shielded clamp. Whenever I do a project I buy way more than I need and do returns later.

I was looking at the...

Thanks again for all your help. Another quick follow-up. When a attached the PVC to the cast iron pipe, which fitting is best to use? I am in the process of buying all the material and I came...

We are remodeling the lowest living level of our 4 level split. The basement is the lowest level. The level we are remodeling in built on a slab and has the existing HVAC supply lines run through...

Thanks for the help. Where should I put the cleanout on the sink drain?

First, thank you very much for all of your help. That vent is dedicated and nothing else runs into it. I’ll put that trap in as recommended. The 4"x4"x2" wye would be about 5 feet from the WC and...

The area that I am working on is the bottom living area of a 4 level split. The basement is one level lower. The level I am working on had an existing bathroom at the far end of the house. The...

I am not entirely sure what you are asking, but the 2" vent runs up through a wall in the upstairs and then up through the roof. No other venting attaches to this run. In the house there are 2 vent...

I am moving our bathroom from one end of the lower level (concrete slab) of our 4 level split to the end that is closer to the stairway to the levels. The lowest level is the basement. I will be...
