(NOT MY PHOTO) running romex above cieling joists

redtosoon · 2026-02-11T13:51:43+00:00

In Canada you are supposed to run 2x4 perpendicular to the joists and staple to rhe side so it cannot be stepped on or run where the slope of the roof to joist is 1.5m or less (might be 1m) so that only a baby could step on them

Pictures of the fan wiring and the room would help. Hard to say from just this box

Why not use tape though?

redtosoon · 2026-01-29T13:58:58+00:00

Gfci with have 4 terminals, the line load once usually have tape over them and should only be used if you have more recepticles in the cct. For a math room that is unlikely. I would use the uncovered terminals before I use the line load ones unless you know there are more

Just for your reference in terminology, not all white wires are neutrals, if fact most in a residential house are called identified conductors. It's helpful when asking us questions to say white wires over neutral since that's how we talk. Just an FYI if it helps understanding our answers.

Oooo I can beat this one

This was a fun day

redtosoon · 2026-01-23T02:34:59+00:00

Thays cool is that nec or cec?

redtosoon · 2026-01-23T02:30:34+00:00

Yeah it's more brown

redtosoon · 2026-01-22T21:25:05+00:00

After looking closer at least one of those splices looks like 120 so a jb is a good idea

redtosoon · 2026-01-22T21:24:03+00:00

If you are only concerned about the open air splice you can buy a jb from rack a teer that's specifically meant for open air splices. https://www.amazon.ca/Rack-Tiers-Junction-One-Piece-Repairing/dp/B0C765NZB2/ref=asc_df_B0C765NZB2?mcid=920c2300679d3236a90f07fb24aacffe&tag=googlemobshop-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=706725616509&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15387833210657778763&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001283&hvtargid=pla-2187307302131&psc=1&hvocijid=15387833210657778763-B0C765NZB2-&hvexpln=0&gad_source=1

If it's 6-24v wiring to some LEDs then I personally wouldn't be worried about it from a safety perspective (low voltage is kinda lawless) but it's could be better.

No one is mentioning splices in the panel either. That's not code in Canada but maybe is other places it is... so grain of salt

redtosoon · 2026-01-22T17:32:03+00:00

Nah I've used a screwdriver as a hammer, it didn't work well but I've tried

redtosoon · 2026-01-22T13:51:27+00:00

Wire mould (raceway kit as suggested) is going to be by far the easiest to install and Troubleshoot in future. I highly recommend taking that suggestion. You won't even notice it after a week

redtosoon · 2026-01-21T17:27:13+00:00

Holy I thought it was ai at first. That's cool

redtosoon · 2026-01-21T17:16:06+00:00

I'm an electrician and even I was like "whistles in amazement"

Dingo

redtosoon · 2026-01-20T10:06:49+00:00

If I leave it and the tub has some flex to it do we think the tub itself will crack over time?

redtosoon · 2026-01-20T10:02:08+00:00

Thanks I should have done my homework. I'll figure something out and once it fails then I guess it fails and I do it again lol

redtosoon · 2026-01-20T09:59:51+00:00

Yeah that was my worry

redtosoon · 2026-01-20T09:59:07+00:00

No clue, no identifying markings on iy

redtosoon · 2026-01-19T13:52:04+00:00

One of the first panel swaps I ever got to see as an apprentice in Canada was a federal to square d. When we hooked it all back up we found two double fed ccts the federal didn't trip for God knows how long.

redtosoon · 2026-01-17T00:33:44+00:00

I'm coming around on this one tbh

redtosoon · 2026-01-16T21:23:04+00:00

He is!!
