Cable staples

I have a large amount of 13/16 wide x 1 3/8 long insulated cable staples left over. Is it ok to use these on 12/2 romex cable size? I know they are much bigger than intended for 12/2 but is there any code or anything that would flag this?

You can use them on the 12/2.

The only person who will care is the guy that pulls them out someday. You will be cursed at, but that's OK.

I started a new job at an electrical supply company. I have plenty of warehouse experience but not any with electrical supplies. I recently got a promotion to be the wire cutter. Along with this, I have a huge project to get the inventory straight. ( it's a mess) now I am good at inventory just from exp. But I need to organize this by type of wire, awg, quantity etc. I need to get more familiar with the product. Does anyone know of good introduction to wire websites or if anyone could explain the types to me mentioned in the title. All help is good help. Thanks

Wiring connections on a new 120v pool motor

T

Thinkly on May 12, 2016

I am putting a new pool motor on my pool pump. The motor has a dial to select between 115 and 220 volts. I have selected 115 because that is the suppy voltage. My question is: Where to put the hot and where to put the neutral. The diagram just shows "line" coming off of L1 and L2. [ATTACH]66094[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]66095[/ATTACH]
