Like the others have said, the hydro test has expired, but they all seem to relatively new cylinders, short of any damage I'd be surprised if they didn't pass a re-cert. The question is what are you going to do with them? Most of the off-road inflation kits I remember came with a 20lb cylinder...

It's likely an open center hydraulic system, which means that the fluid has a constant flow through the valve body and only builds pressure when you direct the fluid towards an actuator (cylinder, motor, etc). If you split the fluid between the front and rear valve block the pressure would take...

The hinge is spot welded to the box and the lid, if you look in the first photo, you can see the circle indents in the paint, those are the spot welds, probably anyways, I can't 100% tell from the photos.

Sometimes the rods are pinned and can't be removed for security, if it's a locking box I could see them using one. It looks like it's spot welded, you could drill those out and weld it back on when you want the top back.

No endorsement for this particular one, but this style of latch I've heard good things about. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HHSF8K/?tag=atomicindus08-20 It's the kind I'm planning on using when I finish up my gates.

Is there a build thread on this somewhere? I've been thinking about how to convert one.

Re: Air seeping the sill plate I haven't used them on concrete, but perhaps one one the liquid flashing products like Zip's or prosoco fast flash?

Looking at the EX7000 though, it doesn't look like it has a coax input, maybe he's using MoCA adapters between the shop and house?

The Ubiquiti WAP switch is overkill for your needs - and may not work? Can you clarify what you mean when you say wired RG6 LAN connection? Are you running coax cable to your EX7000? If you mean cat5/6 instead, just get a simple gigabit router (like a netgear gs105), hook it to the cable coming...

Not a plumber, but all pex specifies a minimum bend radius, if the bends are smaller than that bad news. I just got done using some pex from Apollo who state the minimum ben radius is 6x diameter. Not sure which brand of pex that is, but google brand installation guide and search for minimum...

The socket reminds me of a bates connector (used by the stage/movie industry), but it's not an exact match. Makes me wonder if it isn't a dimmer meant for stage lighting though.
