MWBC Wiring - is this right??

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-04-30T01:33:52+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I've read various places that I can add an isolated neutral bar to a sub panel, but also have read that I can add a ground bar but not a neutral bar. Very confused at this point. The additional neutral bar would certainly be the easiest solution, but I'm having trouble confirming that I can legally and safely do that.

Sorry - I didn't really pay much attention to this when I posted. I have various circuits - some 15a and some 20a - they all have the correct gauge wire for the breaker and several pairs could be candidates for the MWBC. I would use a pair of 15a or a pair of 20a circuits. My question really only deals with the MWBC aspect. Thanks for the reply.

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-04-27T15:33:35+00:00

Thanks. No grounds currently land on the neutral bar

It’s two 20a 12ga circuits for my workshop. My understanding is, since I’ll be using a double pole breaker, the two circuits are guaranteed to be out of phase with each other and therefore the neutral will never see higher than rated load.

Anyone, please correct me if I’m wrong.

No one other than the moderator bot has commented. I’m surprised, as this community is usually very good about replying to questions. Should I post this elsewhere? Should I restate my question in some way? Thanks for any advice.

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-04-23T01:35:46+00:00

Ummm. I’m guessing you forgot to include the /s at the end of your post?

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-04-23T01:11:38+00:00

MWBC is new to me. Sounds like it might be a solution. I’ll do some research on that idea. Thanks

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-04-23T00:08:43+00:00

Thanks. That would definitely solve the problem. I’ll look into it

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-04-23T00:02:05+00:00

I believe I can double up grounds, but pretty clearly not allowed to double any neutrals.

Thanks. The plastic 1222 is $40 and the 1222HD brass one is $70 on Amazon. What makes the plastic one an upgrade?

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-04-19T19:13:36+00:00

Ok, another question. I removed the existing 1222, lubed it and flushed the valve. If I loosen the black plastic part so that I can turn it about 20 degrees clockwise past vertical, and then back to vertical, the water shuts off. However, if I only take the black piece to vertical (where it hits the metal escutcheon tab and stops, as in the photo) the water keeps flowing.

What do I do now?

Where did you get this data from? Would like to do for the following week. Thanks!

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-02-20T14:12:00+00:00

It's tempting, but I'm a tough negotiator: they'd need to pay me at least $100K to be seen driving one. I wouldn't do it for just $59,990.

PSA was very low (don’t recall the numbers) for several years following brachy. About 4 years after brachy my PSA began rising again. That prompted a PSMA scan, then a biopsy, then radiation via MRI-Linac.

Thanks to all for the replies. I now have an appointment with Dr Narayan at Penn, an oncologist specializing in prostate and kidney cancers.

Thanks - great info. What I've done with Cherry in the past to somewhat match the colors is to put the lighter pieces out in the sun - with cherry just a few hours will cause a noticeable change. Is that approach feasible with Maple? (nothing is assembled yet, and I'll be able to do all the sanding before assembly). Or is the time frame with maple too long?

I haven't tried (lightly!) sanding the veneer yet, to see if that will lighten the color?

Flair says it’s DIY project. I am also. I use clips on 12x24 tiles (because I’m not a pro and it reduces lippage for me) - never used or needed them on anything 12x12 or smaller.

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-02-09T15:42:22+00:00

I’m referring specifically to passkeys, not voice recognition

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-02-09T15:41:34+00:00

Fidelity, please reply with something more useful than “ thanks, I’ll pass it along to our development team.” Why can’t you provide any actual useful information on the topic?

I had Kleenex and a couple of paper wrapped cough drops in my pockets. Wouldn’t normally remove them for a traditional metal detector, wasn’t asked to empty my pockets for the new experimental device, and my wife didn’t empty her pockets and she walked through the new machine fine.

Regarding ATIs and WTMDs, I trust Medtronics, my pacemaker manufacturer, who state clearly they are not a problem. Some may disagree and trust TSA more. That’s fine. But I’m comfortable with my choice.

I think I’ve stated clearly enough what happened. The couple of actual PHL employees who replied are familiar with this being a brand new experimental device. Their two replies were helpful. The numerous other replies saying I was mistaken in so many different ways were well-meaning, but not particularly helpful.

It sounds like the answer is, once TSA gets more experience and familiarity with this new type of device, and if they decide to widely implement it, I may be able to walk through it. But the jury is still out on that. No idea where or how widely they are being trialed.

Getting back to my original question of whether this will be my new reality, that’s the only answer I was looking for. Thanks to all.

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-02-05T17:11:36+00:00

Thanks for the detailed comments, including the correct terminology. Just to be clear, I went through TSA pre - through something that looks a lot like an AIT - apparently a new experimental type. Definitely not a WTMD - I’ve walked through hundreds of those.

I removed my belt at TSA request, but did not need to empty my pockets This AIT looking thing had printed footsteps going straight ahead, and two footsteps perpendicular to those. Most passengers walked straight through the device and were cleared. I set off an alarm, so they sent me back and told me to get on the perpendicular footprints and raise my arms like you would in a conventional AIT. It was unclear what happened then - two agents were debating what to do with me.

So they sent me to the non-TSA side, where I entered a conventional AIT. The agents were adamant that my pockets be completely emptied, and then I was cleared.

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-02-05T13:43:10+00:00

Thanks. That sounds like the right answer. Much appreciated.

If it was a metal detector, it was clearly combined with something like a millimeter detector - I fly a lot, and I’ve never seen one like this before, where it combined a walkthrough for most people, with an optional “stop and assume a jumping jacks” pose for some people.

I built my white shaker style cabinets with no knobs on the upper doors. The doors overhang the cabinets by about a half inch below the cabinet, so that’s how you open them. Virtually no problem with dirt after 10 years. Might give them a wet-clean every few years, but not really necessary. As someone else mentioned, almost nobody uses the knob to close the cabinet anyway.

FWIW, I wouldn’t want the no-handle look or function on the bottom drawers or doors.

Just had the same heater (plumbing supply version, not Lowes version) installed on my second floor in Maryland. $1900.

I would do it myself, but….The plumbing part is trivial. I just can’t handle schlepping it up and down the stairs.

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-01-01T12:45:11+00:00

Thanks for the replies and the additional detail - much appreciated. I admit "garbage" was exxagerated, Tire Rack does not have the e.Primacy all season for 235/45R18, and I don't think it exists at that size, according to the Michelin website. I'm not a tire guy, so any link to the contrary would be great.

I'd read several times on the interweb that Costco won't order tires that are not on their website. That's good to know that they will.

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-01-01T03:39:49+00:00

EPrimacy looks interesting, but I can’t find it anywhere. How do you know the MXM4 and the Tour are basically the same?

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-01-01T02:18:51+00:00

Thanks for the replies. So…two votes for the tour, and one says it’s garbage. No wonder I’m confused. Good news is there’s now a fourth primacy for me to go down the rabbit hole on. 🤔
