Is abs pipe okay to use fr a dryer vent?
No it is not ok. ABS is affected by the heat coming out of a dryer. The usual metallic flexible pipe is cheaper anyway all considered, so why would you want to use ABS.
Is a ground wire considered a conductor when figuring on amount of conductors in a pipe?
In the CEC, if pipe fill is used using table 6, ground wires are not included in the count. If pipe fill is used using cross sectional area of conductors and pipe then the ground wire must be included along with the current carrying conductors. A continuous metallic conduit system is considered a ground return path for fault currents.
You have two ground wires coming from the electrical panel how do you connect it to the new water pipe coming into the house?
The electrical code states that if the grounding electrode is to be a metallic water pipe it is to be attached to the street side of the water meter or if not possible as near as practicable to the point of entrance of the water service in the building. You will need to purchase a pipe grounding clamp to make the connection. To stop stray circulating currents from happening all metallic systems should be bonded to each other and to ground.DON'T!You shouldn't connect electrical service ground wires to pipes; it causes electrolysis of the pipe and slowly dissolves some of the metal.Ground wires should be connected to a ground rod that is driven into... the ground.
What is a bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the electrons around them?
Metallic Bond .
What bonds hold copper together?
Metallic bonding is found in gold or copper
Can you use a victalic clamp on a Plastic Pipe?
No, you cannot. The plastic pipe will crack creating a damaged and burst pipe. Only metallic type pipes are to be used when using such a clamp.
What type of pipe is used in pipe fences?
EMT (Electro-metallic tubing) is generally used in pipe-framed fences. This is the solid-wall conduit that electricians use, generally 1.5 to 3 inch diameter.
Type of gasket between exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe?
Metallic donut/metal flange type
If metallic pipe work has push fit type fittings which do not provide electrical continuity what should be done?
lll
What British standard would be used in determining the size of metallic abrasives?
ASTM F1330 - 91(2012) Standard Guide for Metallic Abrasive Blasting to Descale the Interior of Pipe Publication Date05 January 2012

What is the difference between armored cable and flexible metallic conduit?
Armored electrical cable contains insulated electrical service wires protected by a flexible steel covering. Metallic Conduit is a tube or pipe though which we lay electrical cable.(Most commonly lighting cables).

What are the two main types of luster?
Metallic and non-metallic
Is Copper slag is metallic or non-metallic?
It is a mixture - partially metallic and partially non-metallic
Is neutral oxide metallic or non metallic?
Non-metallic
