    I think there is a difference. Now I'm splitting hairs 'cuz all the Square D breaks accept two wires anway. On the QO breaker, all I see is that big fat screw head facing me as I look in the panel - the saddle is tucked underneath and sort of hidden by the plastic. On the Homeline breaker, the saddle is actually visible from the front of the panel. I could be wrong again. . . but I don't think so. I need to be right about something every now and then. . .

    Both the HOM and the QO breakers in the 1-, 2-, & 3-pole configuration in the 10amp-30amp range have the double saddle and will accept two wires. Just check the catalogue. - Jim Katen, Oregon Okey doke. I stand corrected. I don't remember, though, that the saddles/terminals look the same. I couldn't find a clear enough picture in the catalog.

    To be clear and if I'm not mistaken. . . Not all Square D breakers are allowed to be double tapped. That photo is a Square D Homeline breaker. The QO breakers from Square D do not allow double taps. It's easy tell the two apart (if for some reason the breakers were never id'd) because the Homeline have the metal saddle terminal that easily accepts two wires just like the diagram shows.

    No. I've never come across any rule or reference like that. Another head scratcher for me: suppose the math shows the appliances need 4500 cubic feet of air and there's about 4700 cubic feet of air in the garage but the garage is confined. Is that acceptable?

    For purposes of combustion and dilution air, is a garage with an ordinarily installed gasketed garage door a confined space or unconfined space?

    By the way Kurt, I just checked your site on clicked on "Forums." You may aready know what's happening there but just in case you didn't. . .

    What tarp? Are you going to say "The one that's catching all the B.S. I'm giving?"

    For the last few years, I've read every dryer manual that was available at the job. All have stated not to use foil or plastic flexible vents: a small percentage of instruction manuals don't recommend it but an overwhelming majority emphatically do not allow it. I think I've seen two dryers hooked up to solid metal vents. I can't imagine how they get those things hooked up!

    Not asking for bites or trying to lure anybody. I was pretty clear; it's not a trick question. The furnace is entering the leg of the Y. Looking at that configuration, the furnace flue gas is entering the main stack after or above the water heater, no? Typically, the furnace would be connected to the inlet of the Y and the water heater connected to the leg. Maybe I'm over-thinking. . .the report is off with not a mention. From a practical standpoint, I don't think anything could happen. I've been wrong before. . . .

    Does this water heater vent enter the stack above the furnace or below it? It's not a trick question or a test. Click to Enlarge 41.33 KB Click to Enlarge 34.16 KB

    Jerry: I'm not blasting or whining about IACHI. I just don't want to contribute funds to an organization I don't endorse or whose egregious scandalous actions speak for themselves.

    God save me. . . I hope not. Obviousuly I haven't checked, but I've been blindly assuming that as long as you pay whatever fee they want, you can take the online course. If I have to join the org. . . fuggetaboutit.

    IACHI has got a bunch of online classes approved. Unfortunately, I might have to partake in some of their action.

    Thanks for trying - you're not missing anything. I'm getting ready to rip out the original service for a major remodel. However, before I do that, I need to get more power to the garage in order to start and complete the remodel. You know, power tools, tablesaw etc.. So, I need new sub to the garage and then I'll upgrade the main service at the house.

    I have a 50 amp breaker feeding a sub-panel in the detached garage. The two hot lines are #8 stranded copper, the ground wire is #10 stranded copper, but the neutral wire is only #10 stranded copper. Is the neutral too small?

    Minneapolis. Along with the equipment comes very extensive manuals which will direct you how to do a proper blower door test. Learn the manuals then you'll know how to do a test. You'll be "trained." In fact, all the classes I've taken usually re-direct you right back to the Minneapolis manuals for proper procedures. There's also lots of other helpful information in those manuals. There's no single class that I'm aware which deals specifically with blower door testing. Usually, the blower door stuff is merely one component of the overall pacakage - energy auditing. There's lots of options available for energy audit classes.

    Happy Birthday cranky-pants.
  22. randynavarro
    Ok then. Thank you. I'll be sub-paneling away soon . . .
  23. randynavarro
    So let me get this straight Jeff - I can run a sub panel off a sub panel?

    While trying to answer this for myself, I realized I've never come across this situation in the field, otherwise I'd have an answer. Getting ready to do some damage on my place, but need some more amps in the garage. . .

    I see that frequently, although more so on gas units than oil-fired. It's the corrosive particulate from the metal flue oozing down and out of the seams 'cuz the exhaust is condensing too quickly. If you do a bit of searching on this site, there have been at least a few discussions.
