    Pressure washer trips gfci with no load.

    Just wanted to comment on using it so far. Still stumped as today I really wanted to use it. I had to reset it twice over the course of two hours. It would run for about 30-40 mins without issue so I really have no idea, but I will probably call northstar and see what they say. It's everything...

    Pressure washer trips gfci with no load.

    Got the cover plate on the way Home Depot was out. Thank you for looking out! Doubting the pressure washer is bad as it runs fine, when it stays on. I like to wash early in the morning and I live in a pretty dense area, electric has its benefits. But you can't beat the cost/performance of a...

    Pressure washer trips gfci with no load.

    I considered this, but do like the added protection in the event of 240v crawling up my leg. This is what I was thinking, I had read about other people with gfci issues stated it could be a ground loop? First time I've ever had a gfci issue, normally they are the receptacle though and not in...

    Pressure washer trips gfci with no load.

    If an electrical expert could help would be greatly appreciated. I recently got a new pressure washer from northern tool. It is the 5hp North Star 3000 psi 2.5 gpm one. It runs on 230v on a 6-30r nema plug. I have wired in short run to a new receptacle. I used 8ga wire and a 30 amp breaker. The...

    Flexible gas line recommendation.

    Have permission. However since I'm renting I would need to pay the installer. This is something I can do myself quite easily. I've installed several furnaces, gas water heaters, dryers etc. A friend does HVAC and said I do cleaner installs than his co workers. Working with NG isn't foreign to...

    Flexible gas line recommendation.

    On the last house I owned, I properly ran black steel pipe for gas, however we recently moved and currently renting. So, I'm limited to "modifying" the property. I currently have a 40,000 BTU grill, I live in CA and homes are built on a 2ft truss. In this truss (if I'm using the term correctly)...

    Compressor Enclosure

    Bought the loudest direct drive compressor and spent the most to silence it?:headscrat Should have spent the money on an old slow turning air compressor. I can have a normal conversation over my quincy 208 and actually enjoy the thump noise of it.

    Harbor Freight Industrial Blast Cabinet -$320

    Going through blast cabinet threads and found this. Wondering if I need to start checking their website more often. Even if it's $500.00 it's a smoking deal.

    New AC Screeching like a kettle Attached Videos, what is it?

    Just wanted to followup, same company, but they sent a different tech out. This one seemed to be a bit more seasoned. He knew what it was right away. Hooked up his tank reclaimed a bunch of 410a. Monitored the temps on the 3/8 line and also several temps inside as well including duct work. It...

    New AC Screeching like a kettle Attached Videos, what is it?

    Much much appreciated! Looks like the tech is getting a call. I popped off my cool and it only has the orifice. Nothing else inside. Assuming they are just going to reclaim the 410a and hopefully should be good. If the pressure is lowered and what you say "weakened" becomes relevant, is the...

    New AC Screeching like a kettle Attached Videos, what is it?

    It ran for a few hours, tonight before I got home. Is it possibly damaged? The Lineset is bran new. Used the piston that came with the compressor (tapped below the electrical panel) not the one that came with the coil. What are non-condensibles? is that fragments of braze?

    New AC Screeching like a kettle Attached Videos, what is it?

    Thanks for the quick responses. So is it squeeling because it is overcharged? Its odd as I thought the tech would discharge it it was too high? My coil only came with an orifice. Is a TX valve something that can be added on to eliminate the noise? Additional brazing involved or can you **** all...

    Bought a new Furnace and a new AC for the house a few weeks ago online. It is a Goodman 2.5 14.5 Seer and 96AFUE 80k BTU Split system. Furnace is variable speed. I did the furnace duct work ect. No problems on that end. I had Standard heating and plumbing come out to braze the AC, vac down the...

    The Mandarin Garage

    Thanks! She wanted to patch a hole it the wall. I let her use the big drywall knife after taping. I'd love to get the trash cans outside, but association doesn't allow even if it's enclosed/beside the house. Thanks for the advice on cutting insulation. I will defiantly use it next time. As I...

    The Mandarin Garage

    Got the rest of the pictures. It's a bit cold and heating the garage with the bullet tends to smell so I may be done until spring. I don't need the heat, but paint and everything else does. Some of the pictures are from early winter until now. Scored these cabinets from work. I believe...
