  1. I’m trying to hook up my RODI system to the shower. Where the showerhead would screw one. That is a different thread that I can’t seem to find an adapter for. Has anyone ever Hooked up their system to the shower “pipe”?

  2. Thought you ran out of snacks, this is no real emergency.. If you dont get any help, ill be down that way sunday at my moms. Text if you still need help... And ill bring you a twinkie.

     

    You mean a BOX of Twinkies!

     

    I can help you tonight old man! Be after 9:45 though....

  3. Jumped the white (neutral) to the other exsisting 20a breaker from the new 20a one he installed. (i wish he was one here to discribe this) He said this is a very common practice and it is safe. (famous last words....lol) Im sure it's just my lack of terms that is confusing this issue. Again, my appoligies.

  4. I believe 12-3 wire has a white, black, and red with a bare ground wire. 12-2 has white and black with a bare ground.

     

    Wonder if the white is a shared neutral between two 20A circuits with separate hots on black and red on the "piggyback" breaker.

     

    This is correct! I have him on the phone now! 12-3 wire.

  5. I am no electrician. but what you mentioned quite concerning! 12 gauge wire is not enough for even a 20A circuit. You said 1 wire (12 gauge) for 2- 20A. You need a at least 10 gauge wire for 20A dependent on distance. For a 40A ckt you will need a 8 gauge wire. Is your dad an electrician? Also, I would check the wire rating too.

     

    I will look at the wire tonight. Yes he was an electrician for 30 years. I thought 12-3 was the correct wording...
