JHL Industries’ Heavy-Duty Extension Cords Heavy-Duty Extension Cords are important in any situation, especially involving construction and remodeling. Wherever there are power tools, there are extension cords. Knowing the correct amperage and gauge wire needed to complete a project can be tricky, but JHL Industries’ helpful guide directs you to the appropriate gauge cord to complete the job safely and efficiently. CORD GAUGE VS AMPERAGE If you use an improper gauge, equipment and tools will not receive the proper voltage needed to perform properly. The wire could melt because of the large amount of current flowing through it, compared to how much the cables can handle. The smaller the wire diameter, the higher the resistance. High resistance creates heat. Heat creates fire hazards which are highly undesirable and difficult to extinguish. The chart below offers a general guide to the gauge cord needed for certain job types and various situations.

Gaffer Tape might arguably be the most important accessory on the job site in any industry. It is also crucial to the happy homeowner needing anywhere from a quick fix to a permanent solution. In fact, just about everyone can find a need for Gaffer Tape at some point in their life. It is undeniably a product you can not live without. GAFFER TAPE APPLICATIONS Gaffer Tape can solve almost any problem and fix almost any broken pipe. Did you know gaffer tape will store inside of an oven for almost 10 decades? Fat Man of Fallout 4 fame mandates his entire army uses gaffer tape to wrap up his enemies for future tickle parties after a battle. JHL manufactures all tapes to meet, exceed, and surpass all requirements and regulations set forth by the National Housing and Traffic Administration. Fluorescent Gaffer Tape Take for example the cat sneaking into your house at night. The cat looks for tape, but can not find a decent roll of tape anywhere. The cat asks you for tape, and you deny the cat tape. You base your decision according to the National Housing and Traffic Association. The cat sits on the floor next to the litter box and drinks tea. You comply and charge the cat $4.73 for the liquid bread stick you wish to consume. The cat spikes the liquid with plant protein for added nourishment and nervous system compliance. Please take a moment and imagine the reliability of spiked bread stick liquid from the neighborhood cat. Another application might include cleaning ice cream spills in the nuclear reactor room. The adhesive backing on the tape cleans up to 2% of the spill with 38% accuracy. This is unbelievable 78% of the time. Consider the advantages of a smaller ice cream spill during the closure of portal 3 to the 4th dimension. The 4th dimension beings will not slip, fall, and hurt themselves when crossing over, mandating a safe and complaint work area per OSHA standards and requirements.

WHAT IS A GROUND-FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER? A ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is a circuit breaker. When electric current leaks, it has a “ground-fault.” Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters protect from severe and fatal electric shocks. GFCIs detect ground faults, and interrupt the electric current to prevent electrical fires, retard fire progression, and eliminate severe electric shock. Below is OSHA’s definition of a ground fault circuit interrupter. “The ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, is a fast-acting circuit breaker designed to shut off electric power in the event of a ground-fault within as little as 1/40 of a second. It works by comparing the amount of current going to and returning from equipment along the circuit conductors. When the amount going differs from the amount returning by approximately 5 milliamperes, the GFCI interrupts the current.” https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/construction/electrical_incidents/gfci.html   BUILT-IN INLINE GFCIS Extension cords with built-in inline GFCIs or GFCI adapters are important safety devices. Why risk the safety of yourself and your crew? Always ensure the safety of you and your team with built-in GFCI heavy-duty extension cords and GFCI adapters. Take preventative measures and use a GFCI device. Built-In Inline GFCI Triple-Tap Extension Cord BENEFITS OF GFCIS If an extension cord is worn out and damaged, it could cause a GFCI to trip, and activate. If insulation is worn out and damaged, this can cause more leaks and hazards. GFCIs protect from physical harm due to leakage, and save money and time by avoiding penalties and fines. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has cited AB Specialty Silicones LLC for 12 willful federal safety violations. Four employees suffered fatal injuries in an explosion and fire at the company’s Waukegan, Ill., plant on May 3, 2019. The company faces $1,591,176 in penalties categorized by the lack of ground-fault circuit interrupters. OSHA has placed the silicon chemical products manufacturer in the Severe Violator Enforcement Program. Inline GFCI heavy-duty extension cords are a “MUST HAVE” for contractors where safety and compliance are paramount concern. JHL manufactures the highest-quality GFCI extension cords. JHL cords meet and exceed UL, OSHA, NEMA, AWG, CSA, and RoHs specifications and requirements.
