Acid wash primers are what I use on galvanized and other raw metals, tenacious bond and is a thin translucent green coating. vinyl composition, acid catalyst, very quick curing. Here is the industrial version I use, other brands can be had at automotive paint stores. Top coat with the paint of...

I haven't been here in a while but after perusing this thread, thought I would toss this site out there for perusal. I noticed that this thread was mostly about tooling, and lacked much info about specific terminals. I used to work in the automotive industry many years ago, and that's when I...

As you saw flexible duct is a poor choice for efficiency and grounding, its meant only for required flexible connections to machines in short lengths. PVC is also not the best choice due to the static buildup. The more material that travels through the pipe the more the static charge is built...

I'd say you have a intake or exhaust valve that is not seating when hot. Too little valve lash clearance, once the valve heats up and expands, creating less lash between the valve stem and the tappet, the valve starts leaking combustion pressure. Symptoms- Starts fine cold, looses power when...

This appears to be similar to what you have. Website link with explanation. http://www.inyopools.com/HowToPage/how-to-wire-a-pe154-digital-timer-to-a-2-speed-230v-motor.aspx MTW Ω

LHC, Where you are changing piping materials from copper to steel and are worried about electrolysis from dissimilar metals, use a dielectric union. It has a plastic molded ring to separate the metals. As to material pricing, a good contractor wholsale house will normally be better stocked...

Most likely it's the chord that has an intermittent connection where the cable passes through the strain relief. It's a common problem and they fixed it on the newer models with a twist lock cord connector at the saw for making it replaceable without disassembly. Try putting power to the switch...

I have the Milwaukee line powdered deep cut model, purchased more than twenty years ago. It's a bad *** tool and as durable as they come. I found the Lenox bi metal blades to be the best there is, even better than the Milwaukee brand. As a contractor I use it regularly for conduit, strut...

The head unloader problem as mentioned earlier. You would be relieving the entire line set of head pressure with a standard compressor piping arrangement. A colossal waste of air. Using a separate line check valve after the after-cooler could remedy this situation but add more complexity. For...

Split Taper Bushing Removal What MD21722 said. It looks to be an early style split tapered bushing and 3 grove sheave. Those bolt holes are missing the clamping bolts that pull the two internal tapers together. The bushing part has no threads, but the sheave part should have female threads...

Automatic Airline Pulse Drain System Back of the napkin sketch = concept. For the radiator I would use copper and solder it together with the 1/4"/ft slope in each section, then add fittings on the ends to convert to the pipe of your choice. Put as many passes as you can afford and have space...

For the vertical radiator I would build a collection manifold into the bottom of it, with the same materials used for the radiator. Use some drip leg space between the bottom collection manifold and the bottom of the return loops. You don't want your air supply ever passing over water collected...

Check you motor nameplate for the service factor (S.F.) Compressor motors usually have a 1.15 SF. 26A x 1.15SF = 29.9A If your running above the SF amperage the motor will be overheating. Most manufacturers set up their compressors to run over the full load amps near the end of the pumping...

The basic rule is under 100A wire must be used at the 60C rating. Over 100A the 75C rating can be used. For the 75C rating to be used, all terminals and devices in the circuit must be marked and listed for that temperature. The 90C rating must never be used for actual rating use, it's purpose...
