Been looking for a lathe for excavator pins recently. need single phase at my shop and came across this one Enco 13x40, 220V single phase, comes with 3 chucks and various tooling. He's asking 3600, what do you think?

So I finally am figuring out my boiler but now. However if it runs for 30 minutes or more, it starts to drip condensate down the intake into the heater? What can I do to fix this, it terminates to a Concentric vent about 12' above it? I researched for a vertical condensate drain and can't find...

I initially used just Teflon tape, then I did have a leak at the manifold and added a little pipe dope. I'll try that 567

Would you have any pictures of this being framed? pretty much exactly what I was looking for!

I Figured it would be best to revive this thread. I'm getting residual coolant showing on all my threaded fittings, is this normal? I didn't have any leaks over winter and am a little baffled on the presence of leaks?

Did you design the framing yourself or did somewhere like menards help out?

That is actually striking me as a great idea. Would I be able to set the cieling height at 12' where the Barn is at 16'? I feel if I ordered it and tried to install it inline it may show fading differences?

Hey Guys, I'm wanting to do a final improvement to my shop and get my Backhoe/Trailers covered but out of the shop. Seems the best way to do this is add a lean to at the gable end. I was going to Cut the existing sidewall steel and install a Gable Vent while I'm at it for attic access since I...

What about this combo?

Thought I would give a update, having some learning curves but I'm enjoying the process. -First thing I did wrong is I was pushing cold water to the mixing valve where I should have been pulling hot, I'm going to switch this plumbing around to be correct. for Testing purposes I turned the...

looking at that, it seems to be the exact same. Its literally twice the price rebranded as hydro smart (1600) compared to the normal takagi on supplyhouse at 800. At this point I feel I can try the takagi and if I run into issue swap it with a boiler and use the takagi as a water heater. Thanks...

So based on the table I'll get 13 Gallons for a 1:1 Mixture and freeze protection down to -29 F. On the single zone, since the hydrosmart boiler powers on as it sees water flow, I think I could use the boiler control relay as the 2nd circulator?Menards prebuilt panels with the same layout use...

Thank you sir! saved me some head aches. For the Boiler I think I'm leaning towards a 120k hydro smart from menards and a taco 1 zone relay. Is it recommended to use straight cryo-tech 100 as the antifreeze? A quick calculation of 9 loops at 280' each of 1/2" pex shows to be 25 Gallons, or...

Heres a rough dry fit of the layout, based on the pictures it seems its alright to mount the expansion tank horizontally? I'll start sweating it all up tomorrow, and will just attach the expansion tank to the bubbler with alot of elbows to make it look as pretty as possible.

So questions I had right now. 1. I assume these gauges need installed in a sweat manifold like this? Use a tap on the fitting, can't seem to find one that has just 1 sweat fitting though because I just have one gauge for pressure and temp. 2. Finding this fitting would make it cleaner but I...
