1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Goddamnit I just looked up the waffle house menu and now I want breakfast, but I don't have any juice, waffles or pancakes so now I need to drag my ass outta bed and go to the store

 

You're two hours ahead of me, what are you still doing in bed. Hell even I should've been out of bed by now lol. But...Sunday

 

Working Sunday’s + Retail + Utah = you’re gonna have a bad time

 

Man, everyone says “How ya doing?”

 

It’s concerning you don’t know about nice people

 

Same, and I went to Waffle House yesterday because trying to go in a Sunday just puts you in the church rush

 

That's true of most places outside of a major city or cities that are surrounded by rural zones. That's one of the reasons I liked Spokane. It was mostly just nice folks once you're out of downtown.

 

New Mexico has quite a few nice people, everyone waves when you go by each other on the roads, and they’re just generally nice.

I think it’s the places that have quite a bit of money going around that are full of ass wipes

 

So I’m replacing this old mercury switch thermostat. Does anyone know what the blue wire is for? I think it’s C but I can’t find anything marked C on the terminal block, only RC.

Not sure what B is for either. The brown wire was for emergency heat I think.

@Crodell6 @cruiserguy

 

WHY is there NO STICKY thread for 1st gen frame rehab,cleaning, proofing,fixing etc.
or did i overlook and just not see it in there
I thought there would be, considering the issues faced in the wintery states
help to start one

 

I could pretend to know something about that but I won't lol. I am gonna try and look into it though @Sperrunner might know with his hvac

 

I've installed a few Nest therms and don't remember having issues with extra or missing wires

 

I’m just not sure about the blue wire, I want to say that’s the Common wire and to keep it disconnected as per the manual but I just wanted to make sure. Brown is definitely for emergency heat.

 

I think you're right

 

I believe C is 24v power which you prolly don't need on a modern thermostat. But your manual will say what jumpers and substitutions are necessary for your setup (heat pump, ac, forced air, boiler)

 

I’m replacing a really old mercury switch thermostat so you might be right.

I’m just not sure about the whole R and RC connections. Why does it need two 24v connections?

 

Have you read the manual for your new thermo? They always list substitutions and your new one is a Honeywell so I really doubt they'd skimp on that

 

One is for calling heat other calling cool

 

I have however it doesn’t tell you what B is for and if you need B or RC

 

Does that mean I need two power wires? There’s a jumper from R to RC
