This is a raging debate I'm having with myself right now as I am preparing to build some workbenches for my shop. Most of mine in the past have been 32" min. in depth. But in reality I find that I often end up using that extra 12" of depth for storing stuff, like cans of lubricants and other...

If the compressor is 220 and running on 110 wouldn't that cause a heavy amperage draw and trip out the breaker?I agree with Doyle Dee. The fans on 120 were working but I can't imagine the 220 compressor was. But then again I didn't think the fan on the compressor would come on unless the...

Yep. The Lanair's I deal with require compressed air (shop air) and 120v for 2 pre-heat cartridges for the nozzle. I have to completely dismantle these about every 30 days to clean everything out. They are very high maintenance but very job securing for me. But we burn them 24/7 during the...

I used to wire up load centers in pre-built homes. I always got great satisfaction in having the panel looking clean and neat when finished. Especially when compared to what it looked like before I started with all the home runs just crammed in there. And to the non-electricians on sight who...

I have dealt with Lanier quite a bit over the years. All I can say is the cleaner the oil, the better they run. We burn used diesel oil in ours. But they manage to get a host of other fluids in it that really messes things up. It seems I remember that gear oil was strongly discouraged by Lanier...

HEY! A **** warning would sure have been nice!:lol_hitti

I use a Kinetico brand for a feed to a pressure washer. It uses little salt (it does require pellet salt though). They are pricey, but are an on demand type softner.

Could somebody give me the basics of how it works? Thanks in advance.

Very good response that I appreciate. Answered some questions I had also. Thank you.:thumbup:

They are required to be hung for cooling reasons?

I'm not MrB but no, the pressure switch is not considered a disconnect. I would also go with the THHN in flex.

Looking good. Are those cement blocks it's sitting on, and if so what is underneath them?

I switched our shop over from 400 watt metal halides to 6 bulb T8's about 4 years ago. I flourescent fixture replaced one metal halide fixture. Have been very happy with both the light and the reduced power bill. Although I have noticed a somewhat significant ballast failure rate. But these are...

Kail, If you do have a concern about a rupture and hose whip, you could install a high flow cut-off on your system. With as few tools that you say you're running you might be able to install right off the compressor tank. I have these on each drop in my shop. But the drops are close to 20 feet...
