How to connect GI Pipes

EMT connectors

are used to secure EMT conduits to electrical metallic box. These are used to couple two EMT pipes together, or an EMT pipe and a Rigid/IMC pipe together.

Rigid steel construction

characterized by its rigid connections of straight or tapered columns and beams, used in gyms, warehouse

Simply Supported Beam

A beam supported on the ends which are free to rotate and have no moment resistance.

Soil Pipe

A drainpipe which doesn't only carry waste water?

Excavator

A heavy construction equipment consisting of a boom, dipper (or stick), bucket, and cab on a rotating platform known as the "house". The house sits atop an undercarriage with tracks or wheels.

Soil liquefaction

A phenomenon whereby a saturated or partially saturated soil substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress causing it to behave like liquid.

silent operation, elegant looks, you don't have to make the hole in the wall of the air conditioner

Advantage of split type air conditioner?

NEMA 1

Enclosures are typically used for protecting controls and terminations from objects and personnel. This style of enclosure, while offering a latching door, does not have a gasketed sealing surface.

Heat fusion

How to connect HDPE pipes

Vulcaseal

It is best used in sealing, patching and filling of leaks, cracks, holes and gaps in corrugated metal roofing, gutters, downspouts and plumbing pipes.

Sump Pump

It is installed to pump the water out of the pit and away from the building so the basement or crawlspace stays dry.

Stainless steel

It is the appropriate material for a restaurant's kitchen counter.

standard surge protector

It passes a constant electrical current forward by diverting any extra electricity into a grounding wire.

Valve

It performs an important function that allows for the equalization of pressure within the plumbing system every time water is poured into a sink or a toilet is flushed.

Relief vent

Its primary function is to provide for circulation of air between the vent stack and the soil or waste stack.

Patch Panel

Serves as a sort of static switchboard, using cables to interconnect network computers within a LAN and to outside lines including the internet or other wide area networks (WANs). Used like an extension box for extending Ethernet cables only.

Evaporator

Split-type air conditioner outdoor unit is installed outside the room to be air conditioned in the open space. Which of the following is not included in the outdoor unit assembly?

Light-frame construction

System of construction using many small and closely spaced members that can be assembled by nailing

National Electrical Manufacturer Association

What does NEMA stand for?

Travertine

What is a mineral consisting of a massive usually layered calcium carbonate (such as aragonite or calcite) formed by deposition from spring waters or especially from hot springs

Ceramic

What is a tile made of clay that is shaped and then fired in a very hot kiln?

Coupling

What is the typical connection used for pipes running along a straight line?

Bored pile

Which of the following foundation will have less disturbance to neighboring adjacent properties in an urban setting?

Stud

Which of the following system that you could recommend to be used for a wall system in building?

Palladian architecture

a European architectural style derived from and inspired by the designs of the Venetian architect Andrea Palladio

BUTYL RUBBER WATERSTOP TAPE

a joint-sealing material made of butyl rubber that acts as an adhesive waterstop. It is widely used for construction joints which require waterproof and airtight seal, such as waterstop around penetration pipes, underground pipes, underground parking decks, common conduits culvert, corrugated sheets, automobile parts, steel boards, etc.

BTU (British Thermal Unit)

a non-SI, traditional unit of heat; it is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit

Diode

a specialized electronic component with two electrodes called the anode and the cathode. They can be used as rectifiers, signal limiters, voltage regulators, switches, signal modulators, signal mixers, signal demodulators, and oscillators.

modular steel construction

a term used to describe the use of factory-produced pre-engineered building units that are delivered to site and assembled as large volumetric components or as substantial elements of a building.

Junction Box

an enclosure housing electrical connections, to protect the connections and provide a safety barrier

Neoprene gaskets

are cut from a strong, synthetic material and are primarily used in external sealing applications.

NEMA 2

enclosures are intended for INDOOR USE primarily to provide a degree of protection against limited amounts of FALLING WATER AND DIRT

NEMA 3

enclosures are intended for OUTDOOR use primarily to provide a degree of protection against windblown DUST, RAIN, sleet, and external ice formation.

NEMA

is a US Manufacturers Organization which actively promotes standardized product specifications for electrical apparatus

Fuse

is a device that sacrifices itself to provide over-current protection in an electrical circuit.

Victorian architecture

is a series of architectural revival styles in the mid-to-late 19th century. Victorian refers to the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901), called the Victorian era, during which period the styles known as Victorian were used in construction.

Cathode

is the electrode from which a conventional current leaves a polarized electrical device.

Discharge

is the release and transmission of electricity in an applied electric field through a medium such as a gas.

Spaceframe construction

lightweight, truss-like structure constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern.

Neoprene

material made from synthetic rubber designed to be flexible, durable, resilient, and very resistant to compression and liquids such as water, oil, and other solvents.

metal oxide varistor, or MOV

most common type of surge protector contains a component called what?

Metal Furring

refers to a non-structural metal attachment that is used to hold a finish material. In metal-framed construction, the furring pieces are long, light gauge materials of various shapes

Ballast

regulates the current to the lamps and provides sufficient voltage to start the lamps. Without it to limit its current, a fluorescent lamp connected directly to a high voltage power source would rapidly and uncontrollably increase its current draw.

Pipe Fusion

simply a method of connecting pipe, fittings, valves, and other appurtenances through heating and joining.

Centrifugal Pump

used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow.

Beaux arts architecture

was the academic architectural style taught at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, particularly from the 1830s to the end of the 19th century. It drew upon the principles of French neoclassicism, but also incorporated Gothic and Renaissance elements, and used modern materials, such as iron and glass.
