To run it at 120v you'll need to have a 25 or 30A breaker and #10cu wire. Typical would be 10/2 cable. Don't forget everything on the circuit would need to be rated 30a, the breaker can be 25 or 30a. …

You would just need a jumper from the COAX plate to the new box next to it. Or you could just run a COAX through a hole in the blank plate then up to the TV. Question is, WHY do you need COAX at the …

You do not state your location, but in the US this would require a dedicated 20A circuit using #12 wire. I am not sure about Canada, but I believe they require a maximum 15A circuit for residential li …

If you mean in conduit up to the weatherhead the that is perfectly fine. It has a W rating (THWN) for wet location and is sunlight resistant.

You cannot do what you propose. You are good by running a 20A circuit for a bathroom receptacle circuit, it is required. By adding #14 to the circuit would mandate that you downgrade the breaker to 15 …

There are VERY few times when you can have #14 on a 20A breaker, and this is NOT one of them. Also, as stated, NEVER use the quick-wire holes in the back of devices. They are extremely failure prone …

You CANNOT move the overhead line to underground. Everything from the enclosures, attachments, and the cable itself are different. Basically you'd have to remove the overhead line and associated parts …

It simply cannot be done with your existing wiring. The simplest thing is to get a wire from the existing light to the new one. …

A "standard" cooktop only, or a single wall oven, will typically be on a 30A-120/240V circuit, requiring 10/3 cable. Keep in mind, I have seen many newer cooktop models that require a 40A circuit. It …

I'll have to disagree with Tester101 here. A smoke detector, at least in my area, is NOT considered a "fire alarm", nor is it even implied in the name. It is extremely common to have smokes and CO d …

Yes, you can loop around a box provided you staple like you describe. I'd suggest having the cable not touch the box since someday the box may have to be removed and keeping the cable away from the bo …

YES! Absolutely this is a problem. You CANNOT use a red wire for a neutral. Unless you are in Canada and have a "heating circuit" cable with only a red and black there should definitely be a white …

IMO there is NO WAY you'll be able to run sideways without considerable damage, which also IMO would be crazy. Consider how set back the back of the bookcase is compared to the face of above the FP. …

If this area is an unfinished area of a basement or crawl space then GFI protection is definitely required for ALL 120V, 15A & 20A receptacles. No exceptions, other than for fire or burglar alarm syst …

Since this is for a spa you have no choice but to use individual insulated conductors in conduit since code requires it (with few exceptions). If it is exposed and above ground most inspectors would …
