I've been gone a while very sad to hear this. Always considered Carnac to be one of the top ten members I looked up to.

#3120 here and also remember contibuting to help the site, but still feel like a newbie compaired to some of you. Didn't even know Don didn't run the place anymore.

I agree, I've never seen 90c rated terminations either. The 90c wire sizing column is for derating purposes only.

Mine started leaking past the O2 regulator diaphragm, before I could get it shut off it blew up. Got a palm full of red hot brass shrapnel. Been 6 months and its still not healed fully.

Ask one of the electricians to do a load calculation, its actually very easy to do.
Give me the square footage, and a list of the electrical appliances and I'll do it for you.

Actually if the garage is a separate building you only need 2 hots, a neutral, and a ground rod and the neutrals and grounds are bonded together because it is a separately derived system.
If the...

2/0 copper or 4/0 aluminum.

He wishes. Nate certification isn't accepted in any State or Municipality that I'm aware of.

If you already have Vista then install XP you need to get VistaBootPro. Run it after you install XP and it will dual-boot fine.

Somebody told you this?:confused:

Thats all I could think when I saw what it was coming at me. :D
Worst part was I was on my Motorcycle and in the left lane, it was moving so fast zig-zagging everywhere all I could do was pray,...

Damnedest thing I ever seen. As I was going down the hi-way a 6' tall 120lb tank of propane fell off a truck, the valve broke off and the escaping propane ignited.
The tank had a 10' fireball and...

Please do, my wife wants to quit. I quit 10 years ago.

As long as both the furnace & WH are natural draft hoods 8" is still ok.

They don't mess with James, he goes straight to the head inspector and gets things changed. :D

The vent pipe manufacturer won't have a clue as to any local contractors. Any HVAC contractor should be able to help you, a flue can have up to a 45% offset but there are rules to follow as to how.

Your putting the cart before the horse, why are you wanting him to get his B license with no experience?
You don't need it to be able to work in the trade, taking the test for your B license is to...

He had to mean the ductwork itself was designed at .05 instead of .10 and that the FPM will be low because the ductwork is over sized.

Dash, do you consider oversizing much of a problem?

You vent is fine, proper, OK.

I agree with Baldloonie, they have also have the lowest warranty issues of any Manufacturer.

But its damn good pay for sitting on your can watching dials. :D

The unions still have St. Louis County locked up, every time I do a little job there the old fat ass union bosses show up driving a Caddy wearing sticker laden hard hats.
Must be lots of meteors...

What Gonefishing said. The EPA has no records, so just make yourself a new card. :D

I think having 2 oil furnaces and an oil water heater all vented together without a barometric damper to control draft is a bad thing to do.
But I don't do oil so if some oil guys want to correct me...

I appreciate the fact that they are so adamant about selling only to contractors. But the pricing sure isn't wholesale.
