sorry for abandoning you all! its a hassle to upload and link pictures here so i guess i gave up on the site... i mostly update on facebook... my sites page is called mcb_mancave i finally got the permit closed out in january 2018... i had a few final hoops to jump through... and lazyness also...

i really wish they would make transition fittings between max line and fast pipe without having to walk it through NPT.. just an extra fitting to leak, and extra cost... i would like to run my main trunk in fast pipe and do all drops in max line...

i spoke with the guy who did my floor, and he said that generally that is true, but that my concrete was pretty porous, and that he was certain it would **** up some more densifier... maybe he was just trying to sell me more? not sure

i would do a run of 2" PVC along with it. i work for the power company. direct burial cable WILL fail... much easier to have a conduit to pull a new cable in to...!!! the labor is in opening the trench, PVC is fairly cheap and very easy to install

they ground down about 1/4" down and exposed the aggregate, and it seems pretty solid... but i am going to spray some more densifier on it anyway, and see what happens with it... i may as well since the floor is the cleanest and emptiest it ever will be right now...

i just had my slab diamond honed and then treated with sr2 and xtreme hard densifier. http://www.xtremepolishingsystems.com/Xtreme-Hard-Lythic-Densifier-Chemical-Hardener-p/xhd32oz.htm http://www.xtremepolishingsystems.com/ameriposh-SR2-concrete-densifer-p/amp-sr2.htm would putting on more of...

lol, why not? compressor is an emglo gtw300t... v4 cyl with 3 cylinders on the first stage compressing the intake of the last cylinder as a 2nd stage... you know the rest of the specs already... https://www.zgine.com/1058812216.html

matt, i was toying with that idea as well... hand would be a standard pressure switch and start stop button, auto would be plc, and off would be off. i would have to work out the wiring for it all... bczygan, i am an engineer and a ham as well... ki4gqo. the two really go part and parcel, if...

alright! i didnt think to do a build thread, but i just may... my shop is still not finished, but its getting there... but i am noodling around with various projects in the meantime... cant keep a busy brain down. i am also having health issues right now (no exact diagnosis yet, but some signs...

it is also going to control a motorized ball valve tank drain and possibly one to shut off the air to the shop lines... schedueled time of day starts (build pressure on saturday and sunday mornings, at 4pm so its ready when i get home from work, etc)

because im an engineer and i like to complicate things... lol i want control available over my web accessable home automation system... i am planning on having a standard pressure switch wired im series with te overload, so if i exceed 170 it will drop out the contactor... there are also...

nulsa, thanks for the confirmation. we had it sitting on the shelf at work, there were 2 of them, i took the one that was new, but not in the package. they were covered in a thick layer of dust too... lol that i know of, we dont still have any equipment out there that used those starters, so...

panel will be line of sight... but i may install an air conditioner disconnect on the wall... thanks for the info

to the real electricians here... i am building a compressor with a real 5 hp 240v single phase motor... a baldor L1430T. ive never dealt with large motors... i usually dont go above a horse and a half. i am using an allen bradley 709 starter size 2 with N38 heaters... motor is rated at 20.6a...

i am an ee. post pics of the motor name plate, switch name plate, and switch overall. sounds like a motor starter...
