Been a while since I have been on the journal, I am looking for a automated system to remove raw gasoline fumes, And see many replies why some have ni fumes smells. My experience is, dependent on size of area vehicles are stored, How tight storage building/room is How often it is opened...

thanks, I dont mind spending a little more for better life expectancy, particularly in age vs light loss, with less beam angle i think i might need more fixtures than I currently used at my old shop, thought about switching to some 8 foot long for between lifts (M/C lifts)

Has Lighting changed a lot since you 7/17 post? out side of seeing the "LED ballast-bypass 4ft retrofits are your best bang for the buck option" mentioned I have about12 4ft t8 dual tube fixtures - none I have are led- im moving and taking most with me but newtome shop has 12ft - 13 ft (in...

Update!! black and galvanized pipe for air lines - 150psi max? Well, things happen, and it seems now, im going to be doing another pipe install, we bought a piece of property with a decent size shop, ill be adding on too the shop, but not right now, we are 60 x 30 in size , I sure wish it...

well now that I have done Black pipe install, I thought I would give a update Black pipe is a lot of work, particularly when you do 1", 3/4" is MUCH easier to work with, and by that I mean it is much easier to cut, thread, handle and tighten. that said, even at the price of copper being...

man where you do you guys live, your pipe prices are far better there than here, black pipe was 1.56 ft for 1" from industrial supply 3/4 was 13.** per 10 at home depot and lowes, copper 3/4 type m was 17+ per 10 ft, and over 2.00 per ft at industrial supply place. I figured lowes and home...

your right about not needing schedule 80, I was confusing the pipe rating with fitting ratings, heck I nver knew they were different, I just assumed (shows you never assume) that the 150 meant it was only good for 150 psi, which is the pressure of the fitting not the pipe, schedule 40 steel...

that is much cheaper there than here, Black pipe through industrial supply 1.56 ft home depot in 10ft was 19 bucks copper 3/4 type m at home depot was 17 for 10 ft, 1" was over 30.00 have not heard from the industrial supply place on copper I

I have to look at the difference in type l or type M copper not sure why M would not handle 200 psi for future growth if needed I'll be calling them this morning some time

To be honest, I had not thought about copper pipe at all, but copper would be much easier to install, especially if one can get it in 21' lengths as well, im not sure what CNGsaves meant with " installing a black pipe steel air line system. It excellent for moisture disipating, " anyhow im...

good little calculators to determine pipe size psi drops, thought it might help someone else sometime http://www.kaeser.com/Online_Services/Toolbox/Pressure_drop/default.asp http://www.about-air-compressors.com/estimating-pressure-drop.html

I assume you have checked into the rental vs income tax laws, if you make over 150k a year you can not deduct your losses from rental property, they carry the losses over for when/if you sell though. or something like that, tax laws change all the time so be sure to ask a accountant about that...

Re: Las Vegas, 20x24, New House, New Garage! I assume you already have your cabinets ordered, but I'll say we found a local cab shop that did exactly what we needed at a better price, not sure how many places are in Vegas, my brother lives there I could ask, but you might be better asking a...

your replies are really helpful, why thank you.....

ok I found a general information pdf about pipe here http://www.tmcinc.org/CATALOG%20PDFS/tmc_2009_fittings_web.pdf, but I am attaching apic of it as well - so assuming this is correct, which I am, schedule 80 will handle 200psi safely, and class 300 fittings are safe at those pressures?
