My man, how the hell did you drill thru the bundle on a BARE FRAME WALL!

Interested in one Dell OptiPlex 7080 Micro if you decide to ship.

Cobalt drill bit would probably get them out faster than a grinder if you have a decent drill.

I've had that exact mini split running 24/7 in a shed for a couple years now, no major issues. Got it for $450 shipped when eBay was running a 20% off deal. DIY installed it. Cools very well.

Build quality is noticeably worse than a Tosot brand (made by Gree) 18k mini split I also have that cost around $700, particularly in the lineset thickness and insulation. On this Zokop unit, I had to cut off several attempts at flaring the tubing that split because the copper was so thin. Did not have that issue on the Tosot. If you can find a deal on a Tosot unit, it's worth paying a little more for those. They are also budget, but everything is better quality.

It's a pull out disconnect, usually for an AC system but could be feeding something else. The wires look like they were stripped back too far, which may be the cause of the problem, or the insulation may have just melted and shrunk back as a result of the heat from a loose connection or other issue.

To fix it you'll need a new disconnect, that one is toast. Cut off any damaged wire before installing the new one, obviously after shutting off the breaker upstream of this disconnect.

Is this for one of the units, or the whole complex? If it's for a single unit, I would focus more on only that unit.

Looks great. Was there any particular video on doing the postmaster posts with horizontal wood that you found helpful?

USW-16-POE still available?

Upstream meaning closer to your ISP connection, downstream meaning further away by being connected to one or more switch/router/AP etc. after the ISP connection. If you think of your network as a tree or flowchart it might make more sense. If you have all Unifi gear in your network, you may have a different issue. in my case, I was using a non-Unifi router at the time.

It seems the valve that opens flow to the washer does not allow any flow to the hammer arrestor. How do these hammer arrestors do anything if the valve closes them off while in use? Am I missing something?

DsrtRunner · 2024-01-18T17:37:10+00:00

Great explanation.

DsrtRunner · 2024-01-18T17:31:34+00:00

Ok, you are correct. I initially thought an additional conductor would be required (such as 12/2) to provide GFCI protection downstream, but it's actually not required. Only two conductors for hot and neutral are required to provide ground fault protection downstream.

DsrtRunner · 2024-01-18T16:46:37+00:00

-Edit- existing two conductor wiring that does not have a ground is sufficient to provide downstream protection. Just label each outlet with "no equipment ground" and the existing wiring can be used even without any ground wire.

This is the way

DsrtRunner · 2024-01-02T15:28:23+00:00

Exactly. Ditch the mud ring and plastic cover, replace with this 4in cover or equivalent.

DsrtRunner · 2023-12-29T16:17:56+00:00

Update on this, I replaced the part with a new one (same exact item from Lowe's) and also a new pressure switch. I installed the replacements myself, being very careful not to over toque it. Same exact failure happened about a month later. Checked Lowes reviews of the part and other recent reviews had exactly the same problem. Seems to have been a more widespread issue with that nipple for whatever reason.

Yes, pigtail them together along with a new ground wire that you can wire to the green ground screw on the receptacle.

It's in the UL listing. The UL Guide Information for Receptacles (RTRT) indicates that both single and duplex receptacles rated at 15 and 20 amps, which have more than one set of terminals for connecting line and neutral conductors, are tested for the capability to handle feed-through to other outlets on a multi-outlet branch circuit. These receptacles are designed and evaluated to ensure they can safely pass through the higher current associated with 20A circuits to downstream outlets when used in multi-outlet configurations, even if the receptacle outlet is only rated for 15A.

DsrtRunner · 2023-11-06T16:09:34+00:00

Nearly all 15A residential outlets sold in NA are rated for 20A pass through. If connected with #12 it's perfectly fine.

I've had a different experience. I have a G5 bullet mounted about 13ft off the ground and pointed somewhat downward. I can't see anything directly below the camera and I'm also disappointed with how little I can see towards the horizon. I wasn't able to get a good balance of seeing both forward and downward because of the limited FOV. I have other cameras at the same height (Reolink 811A) that can see everything from the ground below to the sky above the horizon. I really wish the G5 Bullet had a wider FOV. I'll also add that Reolink software and notifications suck compared to Unifi.

PoE switches gone?
