Im thinking like mine, the block wall is the back wall attached to the house ? its a indoor wall and heated from the inside would you benefit by insulating it if this is the case as my home . I mean ok by insulating it you will keep the cold hitting the warm block wall (inside house) but will it...

just read my instructions i had with mine and it says to aim to coldest wall ie garage doors makes most sense. It states "Avoid directing the air flow from the unit heater towards occupants of the room, beams, poles, machinery and or against walls. Instead try to direct the air flow along the...

I dont think the Auto was a deal breaker as the build quality of the locking mechanism. I did lots of contemplating of which one to get, the HF style that seems to be the most common one and cheaper by at least $500 on line by most vendors. After watching id say all the scissor lifts on...

My Dannmar also is AWESOME, its identical to the Benpak model. These two where the only ones i was considering since the have the auto lock and auto release function, not that rinky dinky bike cable handle release. The lift is super heavy duty and the center locking bar is BUILT heavy duty in...

if im not mistaken 5/8 is used for fire control, it slows down fire to the adjacent room or room above nothing to do about sag im sure others will chime in

you can always try adding weight to the tank before you fill to fool the machine into thinking its full and see if it takes, been there done that. Also may help warm up the tank with a heating blanket if you have one hope this helps ! Tom
