It may not be 'right' but subpanels for grain bins, barns, etc. typically have the neutral bonded to ground and then connected to a grounding rod. If you have an issue you want the energy going to earth rather than traveling some distance back to a main panel. I've had an electrician ask me: Do you want to be right and dead or wrong and alive?
@marshaldowns895724 күн бұрын
No, because if there is a ground fault, the neutral for the whole system will be energized

There are a lot of good ideas with this, not sure I'm sold on those cutoff valves on the manifold. I mean I hope they are "Full Port Valves" where they don't restrict flow, but also, they can in themselves become a leaky maintenance headache. I would think that PEX should last your lifetime, and that you already have cutoffs at each fixture in the bathroom, so why muddy the water with a cutoff on the manifold? The only reason you might want that would be if you plan on some shootout in your house where you might rupture a line in the wall and want to just shut that area off vs the whole house. Between the expense, maintenance and complexity ... not so sure it is that useful. 12 years later, what say you? Worth it?

Stainless rods won't, but galvanized eventually will. I used galvanized and want rust. The integrated fence is 50 year old rusted 5v roofing so I'm looking for an industrial look. Actual forms use alloy.

excellent information. I do have a question... is it possible to change the direction of a current toilet without much work. change of flange etc
@JamesGlassJamesGlassАй бұрын
There is some wiggle room and where the flange bolts can sit inside the flange, but I'm not sure how much you're talking about in terms of changing the direction. In the slots that hold the flange bolt you probably have 25 or 30° comfortably. If you're talking about turning the toilet 90°, then you're going to need to reposition the flange.

So I'm redoing the floor in the bathroom. putting down new 5/8" plywood subfloor, than the same lifeproof flooring (the higher end stuff, 22ML wearlife) you show. I was at the local plumbing supply store (no, not Home depot), an actual plumbing supply store. They also are a plumbing contractor. The guy at the counter told me to put the flange sitting on the subfloor, not the finished floor because those floating floors will shift and cause the joints in the flooring the possibly crack or come apart. Right now a have a copper drain pipe for the toilet. he sold me an Oatey 1 piece plastic flange with a Proflex Furnco coupler, that one side is specifically sized for the plastic flange and the other is sized for the 3" copper drain pipe. he said it allows for some up and down differential to compensate for height. My question is, if I put the flange right on the subfloor, (and have the finished floor cut around the flange) where should I cut the copper drain pipe so Its a good height for the flange to sit flush on the subfloor? Thanks, great video
