    Hello I'm installing a Goodman 3.5 ton heat pump. I have a question about the suction line.

    Air Lines Warning Beware of Pressure Drop.

    Two years I completed my airline install with a complete loop around my 30x48 garage. I used 1/2" extra large QD's at my 2 50' 3/8" hose reals and at the air drop to my lift to keep pressure drop to a minimum. From that point all QD's are 1/4" Provost safety type. At the lift I installed an old...

    Looking for some AL welding critque

    Some reasonable welds and some real bad welds but at least I got it to stick together. I believe most of my problems are due to cleaning. But after sandblasting Acetone wipe and scotch bright Roloc wheels WTF. Biggest problem was the outside corner welds. The puddle just would not flow. I...

    In order to make room for all my welders I find the need to put all of them under my welding table.

    I just installed a new sub panel. Today I received a new circuit breaker 110 AMP GE to put at the main box, THQL21110 GE 2P 110A 240VAC GE THQL Circuit Breaker.

    Question about the green bonding screw sub panel

    When I sold my house in CT. The home inspector made me put a green bonding screw in the sub panel in my garage. Which I thought was wrong.

    Lincoln TIG 200 vs Square Wave 175

    I'm considering upgrading my TIG welder from a Lincoln SQ wave 175 to the new TIG 200. The specifications look much better, but one thing they don't mention on Lincoln sight is weather or not the TIG 200 is high frequency start or scratch start. I believe since they don't mention it that it is...

    Sub panel questions

    Since I will be adding a new plasma cutter and a new MIG welder to my existing TIG welder I have decided to replace my welder outlet with a sub-panel and add multiple outlets.

    I have been considering the purchase of a dual flow regulator for my TIG welder. Problem is I would like to have the regulator come off the welder instead of the bottle.

    Plasma Hypertherm 45 vs Hypertherm 65

    I'm getting set to purchase a hyper therm unit. I'm undecided between the 65 and 45. I have no need to cut 3/4" steel but I do plan on building a plasma table and the 65 seems to have more stuff which appears to be useful for plasma tables. So the features the 45 does not have are auto voltage...
