- I need to do something that I know won't be quite right, and want to figure out how to do it as safely as possible. I have a sub-panel that feeds (fed) the heatpump - it's fed with three conductors:

- If you are comfortable working in the electrical panel that feeds the sub-panel you can replace the double breaker there with a single one and connect the remaining wire which used to go to the brea

- Pat (and Donald, who replied directly): Thanks - that's a great idea. I don't know why I didn't think of it. Indeed, the original wiring used Romex, so I have a white lead. I can either change out th

- Does your wiring have two or three insulated conductors? The bare wire should NEVER be used to carry current. That being said, the DPO of our house did that and I have not corrected that circuit yet.

- I'm not sure what the code says about BX cable outside, but where we live (rural Texas) you find it all the time. Just be sure that there is a drip loop in the cable so if any water gets into the ca

- It is my understanding that you should not use BX outdoors. If you need something flexible outdoors, there is plastic flexible conduit, often called "Greenfield". It is commonly used for connection t

- Dunno, but the plastic stuff my pool pump is wired with, & I just used for the new air compressor; is cheaper and easier to work with than BX, plus is rated for outdoor use. Randall ________________

- This was my reply to Karl. I don't think it made it to the list for some reason. No, I was thinking of flexible non-metallic conduit. The one I think I used was Carflex by Carlon. http://www.carlon.c
