    Maxline 1/2" tubing needed

    I found a 25' roll of Maxline on the Rapidair website (oddly, its not listed in their price list sheet). Problem solved - hopefully.

    Maxline 1/2" tubing needed

    FastPipe is 3/4" minimum. I'd have to transition from 1/2" Maxline to 1/2" NPT, then 1/2" NPT to FastPipe adaptor, then the length of Fastpipe, then an adaptor back to NPT. The cost of adaptors, plus 1 20' length of Fastpipe is more than the cost of a 100' roll of 1/2" Maxline.

    What jackshaft garage door opener to get?

    Is there any experience out there with the 8900W? I have 4 9x7' doors (residential) and I really don't need or want 4 wall-mounted control panels. Simple push-buttons are fine. I have 12' ceiling to accommodate car lifts. The 8900 is less expensive and seems to have all the remote features...

    Walker jack - scored or stiffed?

    You've got a great jack - these things last forever if properly maintained. I've had one for over 20 years. Do you know if the cylinder is in good working order? That's the tough part. Parts are available, but openning and sealing the cylinder takes a LOT of torque. Don't recall the spec...
