This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).
A lot of good information. Thank you for the comment. 👍
Very informative!
Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks alot.
Great video!!!
I have many more videos, similar to this coming out soon. Thank you for watching. 👍
Thanks a lot

So you dont need a neutral going back to the breaker panel?
No, the neutral is a hot. This is how we get our 240V.
Here's a video that explains 240V vs 120V. th-cam.com/video/0YzdGH3JhYA/w-d-xo.html
Here's my newest disconnect video. th-cam.com/video/ieLXU4RwKYk/w-d-xo.html
Hope I answered your question.👍
Thank you for watching.
I was told to never turn off AC outdoor units if they had that type of dsiconnect because there was a 50/50 chance of failure, so I would always cut power to the unit from the breaker box..🤨
True, this is why electricians always carry a votage detector. To be on the safe side. The disconnect is great to be on every AC unit.
But yes, they can fail. I was called to a home, to replacing one that wouldn't turn off. Their AC unit wouldn't work. The HVC guy refused to do the job due to the fact that the disconnect wasn't working and that the breaker was not accessible. It was difficult to reach the breaker. The garage was jam-packed. And the Breaker to that unit was all the way in the back of the garage. This poor family was without AC for 4 days on the hottest days of the summer. I've also heard stories where the AC unit was being worked on and almost caught fire. Luckily, the disconnect was in hand reach. Thank you for your comment, and thanks for watching.
Boss told me a good way to remember the line/load solution🤣🤣 won’t share on here but really funny
😅🤣😂
Come on let's here it.😂
Can I use a disconnect that goes to a 50A receptacle?
Sure, I don't see why not. But perhaps you should see my latest video on disconnects. th-cam.com/video/ieLXU4RwKYk/w-d-xo.html
I've since then switch to a fused disconnect.
Thanks for watching.
Is there a vendor offering a 4-Pole Disconnect Switch for sale?
I'm installing a disconnect box for a 230v mini split unit. Adding a 30 amp double poll using 12/3 Romex wire. My question here is, do i cap the neutral wire or where does it go in the disconnect box?
the neutral should just be a run through wire, that goes through the box but has no disconnect, only terminated to the appliance.
I have a green, white and black wire on my run from the receptacle for 50 amp welder to my compressor.I have no way to turn off the compressor except to unplug it which is pretty hard to get to.
I wired my 230 volt compressor with this wire. I want to cut that wire and put a turn off switch. Your video shows how to do that, correct?
Yes, I am using the 60 amp disconnect as a switch. This way I don't have to go all the way to the circuit breaker box and cut the power off from there. Now when I need to do maintenance to the tankless water heater, the cut off switches are right next to it.Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching.
So regarding the holes is there a tool designed to help pop out the right hole?
This is a great question. Just the other day I installed, 50Amp 125/250V NEMA 14-50R Power Outlet for an EV charger. For the life of me, I could not pop out the hole. I had to use a aluminium titanium nitride coated step bit.
Heres the link to that bit - amzn.to/438ypSl
It worked out great! With this bit you get the perfect size hole. And the set provide a center punch as well.
Thank you for watching.
How to stay focus
Which one is high quality that won't create Heat the switch Type or the pullout disconnect
Sorry for the late response. 60 amp fused disconnect. I am getting ready to do a new video on. Non fused vs. fused disconnect. Thanks for watching 👍
Can this be utilized as a disconnect switch for a garage heater?
I haven't seen anyone use it for that, but I don't see why not.
You might want to check out my video on how to install a cadet wall heater . That video might help you out. I installed a switch for that heater. Thanks for watching.
I didn’t see the link to Ricky’s video on the pull type disconnect
Good catch, my apologies... it's not there. It's on my tankless water heater video. I'll take care of that soon. If you go to my tankness, water heater video from start to finish. It's in the description. But I will fix this for other viewers. Thanks again for catching this mistake.
I added Ricky's video. Thanks again.
Can you use a 12 2 with that 60 amp disconnect
Yes, 20amp breaker, 12-2 wire. Can connect to 60amp non fuse-disconnect. As long as the unit calls for a 20amp breaker, 12-2wire.
@HandymanLand now I'm replacing it with a 6 2 all the way thru with a non fusible disconnect. Thank you for having this out here, it really helps, thank you
@eddiepopeyebronx I'm glad my video can help. The 6/2 line that I have is connected to a 50 amp breaker. It's what my tankless water heater calls for. I do have a newer video on non fuse vs. fusible Disconnects. Perhaps that might help as well.
Thank you. It's great how you explained this, and it's what I actually did. I was just saying that the one I replaced had a 6 2 connected to a 12 2 and I thought that was wrong as the 6 2 was running 60 amps
What size wire is that?
6/2 wire. But it will also be good to put this wire in conduit. At the time I did this job. It was doing covid. No one near me had conduit at the time. Thanks for watching 👍
I have the 6/2 wire link in the description.
Is this 4 awg 3?
6-AWG.
@HandymanLand the electrician used a junction box and used 12 awg to the 60 amp fused disconnect
Exposed Romex is illegal.
Yes it is, here's my latest video on the upgrades.
