Question:

If house wiring is black white and green but a smoke detector has red white and black, how do I connect them?

The instructions on the detector seem to assume that wiring colors will match, but they don't. Black to hot, white to neutral and red to interconnect lines of other units in the multiple station setup. What do I do?

Answer:

Hello, I was taught by a professional gas fitter to use both Teflon Tape and Permatex? Pipe Joint Compound. You may have damaged the threads during installation. Do not use the heater while the soap bubble test indicates leaks. You are in violation of building code and public safety doing your own gas fitting!
Lucky for your friend, wages in PA cannot be garnished for private debts.so this judgement will not allow them to touch her wages. The judgement will allow them to freeze her checking account and take out whatever is there. If she has any sizable amount of money in the bank, then I would strongly advise to pull all the money out and put the cash in a safe deposit box or safe. Once she's taken this step, their power is somewhat limited. They're certainly not going to like low payments per monthbut given PA. law regarding not allowing wage garnishment, they might not have any choice but to accept what she can afford to pay. Very important: Make sure she only pays with money orders. Photocopy and keep in permanent records. NEVER give them direct access to the checking account because they'll raid it. Your friend does not need to spend $1,500 or so to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy for such a small amount of debt. Filing Chapter 7 is not cheap.
