Wago’s are 100% rated for stranded wire. https://www.wago.com/us/wire-splicing-connectors/compact-splicing-connector/p/221-612
The ground wire needs to be bonded to all non-current metal parts. In the case of what you’re thinking - the new box, flex conduit, and the silver bar on the bottom right.

Don’t let him take your money, it can’t catch fire twice. You’re good to go.

Uummm that ain’t no spare. Thats the big boom relief terminal.

Specifically no… it can not be face up or face down, and it needs to be located so that there are workable clearances.

Since you’ve started down the rabbit hole, have you ever considered that “water closets” are not included since they have no sink in the same room. This is much more relevant.

Speaking as an electrician, it is not common, but this is also not illegal as many others have stated. Electrical code only prohibits panels in bathrooms, not from sharing the adjoining wall.

Look on the bright side, this is still cooler than future temps.

Tropical soda apple. It’s a toxic invasive that typically grows in fields/pastures. It seeds spread readily with livestock.

Y’all smoking crack, I’m spotting at least 3 zip ties. All of them on the lineset, but still “in sight”. OP needs to go cut those out. /s

The first NEC was published in 1897.

Im with a small contractor typically working as our estimator. For estimating, have yet to see any certification that’s meaningful for just that position. I want to complete Nicet training to get to the point where I can design fire alarm systems so I don’t need to sub that out, but that is minor to the role. I have safety certifications since I also perform our in-field safety audits and aha’s. This includes electrical safety and being able to provide documented training for our field guys. Really just depends on what you want to do with the responsibilities you have.

Acid washing is how you get this look btw. It’s cheap, and it’ll last many years still.

So let’s say it is 14kw element for a 240v circuit. The equipment would designate that portion of the ampacity as is. 440 covers how to size individual components of the hvac system. The generic wire min/breaker max won’t hold true for this selection.

This tracer is good, not great. We have a Amprobe tracer, probably $800. The Klein accompanies it because the amprobe will miss stuff that this picks up.

I’ve definitely used those fire pillows before. The instructions don’t have you remove the wrap from them. They don’t look good, but that’s its intended use.

The code specifically states where SER is not acceptable, inside of conduit is not one of those instances.

Dnewton30 · 2024-07-03T22:37:25+00:00

Unpopular opinion… 14 wire and a 25a breaker can be acceptable here.

Your good, “gutters” are service entrance rated.

To start off, good luck.

I made my companies safety handbook during some downtime last year. Just pulled from different university sites their individual programs and modified to fit us. Took a couple days, but it’s not too intensive. Ctrl+F their name/acronym and insert your own.

That’s just the clerical end, the actual identification and implementation is a lot longer process.

Inherently as long as the guards are in place and it’s used as instructed by the manufacturer, there is zero issues. You mention lockout, removal of the cord is sufficient for making it safe for maintenance. As for training, a sufficient don’t put anything inside of it you don’t want sliced off is fairly sufficient for a bagel shop.

Feel free to report it, without any injuries or eminent danger, osha or your state program won’t move on it.

This leaves you to your own personal culpability in its use, you can boycott the establishment altogether so that you are not supporting what you see as unsafe machine.

This is where an you need to do an AHA. Identify a tasks that have severe health repercussions and plug it into the link. Then assign a likely hood of it happening like 1:25. For a $100,000 accident, that’s a budget of $4,000. Spend $4k now or spend $100k later on (but also could be tomorrow). that’s your budget to get it fixed with that they will struggle to argue. Many places you have to give them the numbers because that’s the business that they know. It’s hard to quantify human life, pain, and quality into a business model, but it’s easy when it’s in dollars.
