Count me in! S.F.

Thanks for all the replies here! This pump has no check valves, just a sweat connection on the suction and discharge side of the impeller. I took the pump housing apart to ensure I didn’t cook the o-ring or plastic impeller when soldering in the pex adapters so I’m certain it’s just a plain...

Looking for some direction here: My home is plumbed in pex (built 2013) and has a circulation pump to bring hot water to the master shower faster. Why the house wasn’t plumbed with hot and cold manifolds that were centrally located rather than a ridiculously long loop is beyond me…. Anyhow...

Thanks for the reply Zeke! I think I have a plan now: The package unit is sitting right next to the transfer switch so I’ll add a small flex conduit (with the 2-wire thermostat wire inside) from the P.U. to the transfer switch. I’ll then just “insert” the load shed module in-line using the...

Morning all and Happy Fathers Day (where applicable)! I need a little guidance here regarding thermostat wiring or more specifically interrupting the 24v circuit. I have two heat pumps, one package unit and one split unit and they are on separate thermostats. I need to determine the best...

Awesome! Thanks GJ & SK! S.F.

Interesting idea, thanks for the tip! S.F.

Not done yet but here’s what I’ve got so far: S.F.

I'm swimming in the stuff! I run a manufacturing plant that Fabricates with steel pipe all day (moved 2200 tons of it in the last 6 months) so scrap pcs are not a problem. The issue is that the pipe used in my industry is not dimensionally true to its size: Our 4" is 4.5" OD, 6" is 6.625"...

I'm building a coal fired forge for my son and I to try our hands at knifemaking and I have a question: Though we will be using it outdoors for the time being I have designed it to have a hood and chimney in case I finally get to build a shop that I could put it in so I want to put a stub pipe...

Thank you for explaining the photo upload process. Here’s a couple of pics: S.F.

Fit is good and I can sand the ABS bezels to minimize any gaps between them and the polycarbonate plate. That looks promising. Amazon reviews are good, the only catch is the product must be fresh or it doesn't work. I have pictures but photobucket won't host them anymore.... To be clear...

I am building a custom overhead gauge panel and I need to bond together two dissimilar plastics. The black gauge pods themselves are ABS plastic and the panel they will be attached to what I believe is glass fiber reinforced polycarbonate as evident by the “PC + GF” marking. Can you folks...

Re: Photobucket Just Screwed Me Real Hard So screwed.... I went to my bimmerforums thread thinking that I could at least open the posts in Edit view so I could write down the photo I.D.'s in order and then identify them so I could rebuild my thread with a different image hosting source. Well...

Re: Photobucket Just Screwed Me Real Hard Bastards got me too! Ruined a build thread I've been working on for over a year! It's extortion really, to disable hosted photo retroactively for a $300 money grab. I could see them saying "Hey, were going to start charging for photo hosting for...
