    Can 4" shc 40 electrical pvc be used for water well casing?
    Can 4" shc 40 electrical pvc be used for water well casing? I have an excess of it. Seems like the only difference between it and regular sch 40 pvc is just color. I need to drill a new water well on my property for filling my pond. Any thoughts on this.

    I don't see why not. Schedule 40 Electrical PVC is rated for water vas well.
    Here's what I pulled up from a supplier
    Electrical PVC Pipes
    Electrical pipes, conduit, fittings coated with polyvinyl chloride, used for cold water. Electrical PVC pipes are used for applications such as water services, and for irrigation.
    Good luck, Tom

Electrical outlets "loose" [ 2 Answers ]

My husband and I recently purchased a 16 year-old home. Great house, but we've noticed that when we plug anything into any of the electrical outlets, the plugs don't want to stay in firmly, they just hang there loosely. Is there anything we can do to remedy the situation?
