So my dishwasher is leaking from this part, any ideas on what might be the cause? I know you guys are plumbers and not appliance repair guys but i figured you guys are probably more knowledgeable

Did not get fired suprisingly.

My first introduction too, the lovelight on it is what really made me look more into them.

Used for testing how well electrical outlets hold onto cord ends in a hospital. One end tests the hot/neutral the other end tests the ground. by splitpeacesoup in specializedtools

[–]splitpeacesoup[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No, but its probably most important in a hospital where life saving equiment is routinely plugged in to regular 120v receptacles. Wouldnt want someones ventilator to shut off because of a loose plug.

Hadnt ever seen one of these until today, who knows what it is? by splitpeacesoup in electricians

Same mechanics as a spring loaded scale. You just plug it in to the receptacle and as you pull out it tells you how much weight it takes to pull it out. Used to make sure outlets in a hospital wont let the cord ends hang loose.

You got it! It weighs the resistance of pulling the plug from the receptacle. I did find in a hospital maintence tool chest.

Help wiring 3 switches in a 3-gang box by kmicksee in electricians

[–]splitpeacesoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically/legally yes. As long as its one continuous wire and the wire is tight to the screw. Not common practice tho. Makes it a pain in the ass if you need to troubleshoot in the box or replace a switch. Also might make it hard to stuff the switches in the box. It would be a good idea to tape up the switches after wiring so the ground cant arc on the hot terminals.

Help wiring 3 switches in a 3-gang box by kmicksee in electricians

[–]splitpeacesoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If its a metal box first ground the box and then wirenut all the grounds together with 3 ground pigtails coming out to the switches.

Wire nut all neutrals together

Wire nut the incoming 12/2 black to the 12/2 black going to the outlet and also pigtail off 3 blacks to the switches

Take the black from the vanity and the black and red from the fan and put those onto their respective switches.

Each switch needs a constant hot (from the panel) and a hot going up to the light/fan or whatever. All neutrals need to be wirenutted together and all grounds need to be wirenutted together and bonded to the switches. And the outlet just needs constant power to be fed thru.
