Want to give a big shoutout to all of the electricians who put all of their scraps neat and tidy in a box or contractors bag,your consideration does not go unnoticed 👍

You're my absolute favorite scrapper to watch. I've enjoyed every video that you have made. You do one fabulous job at teaching too. ❤

Decent wire haul

@cactus6090 Ай бұрын

That bigger 3-conductor cable is usually for the main house service connection aka the "feeder". Usually anything that draws bigger than 60 amps is gonna be aluminum cuz of cost and weight, though in residential ya can't use aluminum wiring except in the service feeder. The armored+pvc wrapped stuff is called "TECK-90" or just "teck" cable. And yup, rated for outdoors, buried, and water exposure. Happy treasure hunting, Thub! And stay warm!

@darrenwoloshyn Ай бұрын

The Aluminum is ACWU 90. Teck 90 is Copper.

@magalhaes9023 Ай бұрын

The aluminum wire is the power supply line from the service provider, they don't use copper as much anymore.

@Kennyc.830 Ай бұрын

Really good wire score

@TerryDeck Ай бұрын

I’m electrical contractor in Saskatchewan. Most likely that chunk of cable with the aluminum in it was probably for a hot tub they were wiring. You can use copper or aluminum. It’s called tech cable and used where it needs protection from damage. Going from house outside to a hot tub.

I always take the metal wrapped hoses on shower attachments. Half of the time the wrapping is steel, the other half it's thin brass.

That thick heavily insulated aluminum wire is tek cable. Used for main wiring of a new home to connect to main hydro line. They used to be copper

@darrenwoloshyn Ай бұрын

Nope. It's ACWU 90. Teck 90 is Copper. Too small for a main feeder. Probably for a Hot tub or electric furnace.

need a little side cutter on a string to carry along so you can "snip snip" the copper wires out of those old fluorescent fixtures.

@TheGeologist101 Ай бұрын

What’s the verdict on the fluorescent tube fixtures. They don’t weight much and are bulky. I’ve done it both ways, took fixture home and cleaned up and also just took the wires out of the fixtures and left them behind at dumpster.

Hey Thub, you might have covered this before, but I would like to ask, what so of radius in miles do you do from home, to dumpster dive? or do you just target a certain area, and go for it?, cheers Thub, keep doing ya thing, leave it better than you found it!

@44davewright Ай бұрын

Bigger gauge aluminium wire is usually your service line to the meter base and to the panel. As long as they use the proper paste on the terminals there isn't corrosion between dissimilar metals. That wrap is to protect the cable under ground.

I would of kept that chair. It was definitely pretty old and it had great lines and probably would of brought a pretty penny if refinished and reupholstered.

@rickeywheeler8104 Ай бұрын

That aluminum wire your finding is called. Arc cable 3phase that's what they use on homes an power lines. So copper theft would stop. That's why ac units mostly now days the new ones doesn't have much copper. Copper an brass are bout 2or3 best high payin.

@darrenwoloshyn Ай бұрын

Nope, That's ACWU 90. Single phase or 3 phase depending on the number of conductors.

that is armored underground cable - that would be the excess they cut off before connecting - Aluminum is making a comeback since copper is so expensive these days - you just have to go a couple gauges thicker because it does not conduct as well

@thubprint Ай бұрын

I live in an area where beverage containers are sold with a $0.10 deposit that is refunded when the bottle is returned. There is essentially a bounty on them which isn’t reflective of their recycling value, so you can save them up and bring in bags of them for cash
