Quick responses. I love this forum. :) Git, I am experiencing drop between the filter and the gun. I also have a dedicated hose for spraying, but I'm using a high flow quick connect. I did suspect the hose to be a culprit, so I took off the quick connect and hose and hard mounted the gun to...

Hello all. I'm setting up an HVLP painting rig in my garage. I'm running into much more pressure drop than I anticipated and I'm not quite sure how to fix it with typical products so maybe you can identify where I'm going wrong - or maybe the pressure drop is typical. Here's my setup: Devilbiss...

One more question! So I got the lift installed. I needed to pull an audible and rotate the lift power post 180 degrees, putting it in the middle of the garage. Wiring must be done from the ceiling now. What's the proper way to do that? An outlet with a plug in cord hardwired to the lift...

I went THHN all the way due to two things: 1. Ease of install. THHN is at least 5 times easier to move around in conduit. The 6-3 NM cable was INCREDIBLY difficult to bend, even in small sections. The 12-2 Romex I had was similar in 1/2" EMT. Just super, super hard to move through. Similar THHN...

Had my rough inspection today and passed in about 2 minutes. Buttoning up everything today for use later this week if all goes as planned. Used the conduit bender to bend a 90 and an offset and back to get around a 2/4 mounted to the wall. Everything's looking good. The 6 AWG feed from the main...

Wylie, Ard, thanks. That makes more sense with the Romex/conduit debate. I finally got a voicemail from my inspector after playing phone tag all day. He simply said he'd defer to the manufacturer for their acceptable installation methods. Looking at Cerrowire's PDF on the NMB wire... they say...

Great detail. Thanks. I have pre-cut, non-returnable cable of 2-2-2-4 AL SER and 6-3 nmb. These were a part of my original, ill-informed plan. I think THHN is the cleaner way to go and should be a straightforward issue with the inspector. I originally steered to the nmb and ser because it seemed...

Lots of good stuff here. Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I'm completely with you on most all of this. I planned to get a Roof Top Tent and some serious roof rack accessories (Kayak, awning, hi-lift mount, etc..) and have a nice ceiling mounted hoist to hold the RTT when not in use and on and...

Har-dee-har-har-har... har har har... haha. I would consider those, but that's an extra $3k on top of the non-RV oriented lifts. Before I consider dropping that much for about 60" of extra clearance I don't need I want to see exactly how close I'd be with their more... "normal" 4 post lifts...

Oh for sure. I will barely fit under the high clearance one. The regular height is way too short. Sorry, should have clarified. I'm looking for info on the higher rise versions. Hd-7, hd-9x, direct lift pp8, etc...

Hey all, I'm hoping you can provide some real-life data points here. I've got a 99 Land Cruiser on big tires that's around 76-77" tall with the roof rack. I want a lift to store my lowered Supra on top of it. According to the BendPak literature I'll be fine, but only with a couple inches to...

Ok, good deal. Now... Is there a "correct way" to protect 2-2-2-4 AL SER or 6-3 NM-B inside a garage without going through the walls? Ultimately this may just be up to my inspector, but of course your guys' opinions are just as, if not more, helpful. :)

Haha, touche. That's a valid point. However... In about 10 years so far of working in my garages I've not once needed a conduit bender. I normally use the Wiremold metal raceway stuff and actually plan to do that in parts of this new wiring job. My use of EMT is pretty darn limited - until now...
