    air compressor oil

    We have the same issue with combustion air compressors on boilers. Stick to the non- detergent single weight conventional oils. The 20w should be fine if you're not doing heavy use in high heat. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    SHOP vs Man Cave

    My son's hunting gear, my daughter's storage, my grand daughter's power wheels. None of which make it a man cave, all of which gets in my way of truck, tractor, boat and bike work. 1200 square feet reduced to half. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Air lines.. what are you using?

    Look at the pex air line kits. A ton cheaper than copper or black pipe. Iwas looking at a 100' kit for under$175. It gets very good reviews. I'm switching over to it. I've got pvc and it scares people. I haven't been too worried, it's rated 460psi and still is pliant. But, I have a son in the...

    Call a local shop and find out who their recycler is or Craigslist. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Alternate Apron Material

    I've had compacted crush a run for the part 18 years. It has stayed in place and worked well. It'll get a little dirt splash on the doors from heavy rain but I think that's more the sand and mud from our roads mixed in over the years. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Any engineer or builders know what this truss will support?

    If you are in snow country, then 900 lbs is negligible at roughly 1.2 lbs per square foot. Dan, from my phone

    Wash bay in garage?

    You need a catch basin. Essentially a box in the floor with a grate on top and the drain outlet up off the bottom with a baffle or weir in front of it to knock down the solids. Sand silt and heavy stuff will settle out. You have to go in regularly and scoop out the debris. If built correctly...

    Metal Building Insulation Help

    How old is the building? Screw gaskets deteriorated? Once you seal it up, you can sray it. Pricey but no more air leaks and pretty much water proof. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Questions about my compressor plumbing.

    So many of you are worried about the heat and moisture retention with plastic lines. That's what they make air driers for. On top of that there are literally millions of trucks running up and down the roads with plastic air lines and they meet FMVSS requirements. What is so darn delicate about...

    I really gotta see one of those moisture ejaculators! Sorry for picking, but you've got me laughing my *** off! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Questions about my compressor plumbing.

    I believe he's talking about plastic stirrings that they run on trucks and trailers, not pvc. If he's paying $.55 for pvc, he's got more than one problem! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Questions about my compressor plumbing.

    You're fine in a small shop with 1/2 inch lines. The extra volume is nice from bigger pipe but I'd be more concerned with pressure drop from small lines. Effective system volume increase isn't all that much to warrant the cost of larger pipe if you already have the 1/2". Your new 60 gallon...

    Used BendPak LR-60 shoots hydraulic fluid

    No. It does not do that unless the piston seals are shot. The cylinder needs a rebuild. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
