What else can I help you with?
Pump-down system should be installed in which direction?
South
Why should vapor barriers be installed on the warm side of the insulation?
Because warm air can carry more moisture w/o causing condensation than cold air. If you had the moisture barrier at the cold side warm moist air would hit the cold surface and fall out as condensation, leaving water in the insulation.
Does dead air space provide insulation?
As you should know, the purpose of insulation is to create dead air space. DEAD air does not transfer temperatures.
What are the effects to the transformer insulation of single phasing on a three phase Delta-Wye connection?
The effect of the insulation is to stop electric currents flowing where they should not.
What direction should a pipe union be installed?
It doesn't really matter. I usually put the female half, the side with the nut on first so I don't forget to put the nut on the pipe before I put that half on the pipe.
Should polystyrene be installed under concrete?
yes, as a moisture barrier

In which way should the furnace filter be installed?
The furnace filter should be installed with the airflow direction arrow pointing towards the furnace.
In which direction should the flooring run be installed?
The flooring should be installed parallel to the longest wall in the room for a visually appealing and spacious look.
I installed recessed lighting in my kitchen and now cold air is filtering down around the lights how do i stop this?
get low temperature bulbs for lights and also a can of expanding insulation foam and spray foam in the holes above lights. There are two things that should have been done, sorry. New recessed fixtures have what is called zero clearance. What this allows is for insulation to be installed adjacent too and over the fixture without a heat build up. There were cases with the old type fixtures that insulation was placed over the fixtures and it couldn't dissipate the heat from the lamps and the fixtures caught fire. The other thing that should have been done is to get a vapour barrier boot with the purchase of the fixture. What this does is provides a dome for the fixture to be installed into without sacrificing the vapour barrier envelope. This dome is caulked to the vapour barrier to make a airtight seal. This dome is also used with the zero clearance fixtures to make a complete airtight and insulated installation.
In which way should laminate flooring be installed for optimal results?
Laminate flooring should be installed in the direction of the longest wall in the room for optimal results.
Do you need a moister barrier when framing in a wall inside a basement wall if you are going to insulate it.?
You should put a plastic moisture barrier between the concrete and the studs so that moisture will not get to the insulation.
In which way should the furnace filter be installed for optimal performance?
The furnace filter should be installed with the airflow direction arrow pointing towards the furnace for optimal performance.
What are the advantages to having attic insulation installed?
Attic insulation plays an important role in balancing temperature in extreme hot and cold months. It not only maintains a constant temperature in the indoor environment but also provides us some extra storage space.
Does the 2006 International Building Code require overlapping the flaps of rolled insulation when insulating exterior walls or can the insulation be stapled to the interior of the stud?
Insulation should only be stapled on the edge of the stud. That's what the flap on the edges is for. This creates a vapor barrier and if you compress the insulation enough to staple on the sides this reduces the insulation at that point. Insulation has to be fluffed to get the benefit. It is easier, quicker and does not interfere with the sheetrock in any way.
What size of triplex should be installed in the air for 200 amps?
A #2/0 triplex with an insulation factor of NS75 is rated at 210 amps. A #1/0 triplex with an insulation factor of NS90 is rated at 220 amps.
