thanks for the link on venting... this fridge does have a grate on top with a flu, but I was thinking it would be wise to do something very similar to the diagram I was debating on taking it up to http://www.mainegasrefrigerator.com/ to have it serviced, I am not sure what that would entail and...

kind of an old thread, but i just picked up a servel electrolux gas fridge. With some tinkering I got it to fire up and it works great. What I don't know is what "normal" venting for it should be. It has a very mild gassy smell. (I leak tested it and it is fine) it just seems to put off a...

I tried to post a video of it, but it looked close but at least 3 inches away.... ah well, it is in and repaired now...

I figured that since they recommended 5.5 inch ones, that 7" would be better, I ordered them online and they were cheaper... you'll read it on the advice section but for sure drill through the slab all the way so that if you screw up you can pound them down/through... I had poured a 15" pad...

and then a sort of action shot.

this was a couple of weeks ago... everything is up and running now and I love the lifts...

fun, actually only took about an hour to repair, managed to hit the line on my second drilled hole; it looked for sure like I was free and clear.

and because every body like a fail... "100% certain; there is no way I am going to hit the line"

I ended up going for it and just seeing what happened... so far no visible cracks; so I assume it is going to work. I figured that worst case is that I have to chisel out a 4x4' pad and re-pour, but glad with it so far.

I just found out that many of the home depots that have rentals carry the thermal imaging cameras'

thanks for the info... I almost bought the phone version, so I am glad to read they sucked before I bought one. home depot here rents the high end ones, so that might work. I did get the outdoor wood boiler hooked up to it this morning... which is funny because all winter long I froze and it...

Kvom, old thread same problem... when you say you cranked the heat, added water and then used and infrared did you mop it down? or did you have a big'ol puddle on the ground? Thanks, I am trying to find some pex lines and I don't have a thermal imaging camera, but I do have an infrared...

you inspired me today Walrus... as a result I hooked up the pex to the manifold and just finished extended some lines to my outdoor boiler. Tomorrow I plan on drilling through some joists and connecting it all together, it was getting dark or I would still be going. Was your friends thermal...

thermal imaging might be a good option... trouble is I haven't hooked up the manifold/pex yet to my outdoor boiler and I am dying to work on a hotrod!

I put huge "islands" of no pex 4-5 foot around, but what i never thought of was the concrete cuts and the go dead nuts center right where I was going to put them... if I cheat 6" away from the cuts I am too close to the pex (24" base pad" ) and if i go on top of the cuts, some of the bolt holes...
