Consider one of those epoxy kits used to repair cracks in basement foundation walls. They dry hard and you could grind it flat if necessary. You would need to use backer foam to stop the epoxy from going too deep.

It could also be used with a couple of 45 degree bends to straddle an obstruction like a beam instead of bending a saddle.

I use Alro Metals here in Cincinnati. They have a great showroom where you can look through and pick out what you need. Their “drops” prices are better than cut lengths and there’s always some specials that vary each visit. There are stores in Tampa and Clearwater.

Appreciate the offer. Thanks.

I would drill a 1/4” pilot hole through first, then follow with your larger bit. You can get a 1/4” x48” bit for under $30. You will need a drill with a lot of torque like a drill press or a Milwaukee Holeshooter. Also will need to continually pull the bit out to clean the hole as you drill...

I agree with Wylie. No special crimpers are needed. I always used the flat inside of my Klein 202 diagonal cutters.

It looks like you slide your workpiece in the space between the angled fingers and the base. Line up your bend mark with the point of the fingers. You should have two bars in the semi-circular pieces along the front. The bars will be facing down. When you pull up on the bars, the top clamps down...

I might try cutting a shim and planing it to fit. A long cedar shim might work too.

I have a Parker 974. Luckily it’s not currently mounted. The swivel base screw thread on mine is 10 tpi.

I have installed a few and on those the storm door jamb mounted to the exterior brick mold of the door, not the door jamb. You may need to add jamb extensions for the door handles not to hit each other.

The whole roof doesn’t look right to me. Normally, seams on consecutive courses aren’t supposed to line up like they are in the lower left corner of your photo. And then there’s some random small pieces that look like fill-ins. Are these standard three-tab shingles? There isn’t a pattern to the...

Like one of these.

Search switch plate adaptor. It will provide for standard cover plate screw pattern to fit to an electric box tabs.

I agree. I wouldn’t think an insulated basement wall would be an issue. Never had a problem with mine. ps, Add a couple of metal nail plates on that knee wall to protect those wires where the studs are notched.

If it’s a Blue Rhino tank that you got as an exchange, call the number on the label. My brother had one that he had just exchanged, got it home and found it leaking. He called the number and an hour later a big Blue Rhino truck showed up at his house to give him another one.

Follow up: what model of 1835 Door King do you have? it looks like there are several versions. Is this for a pedestrian gate or a vehicle gate? A cursory check on the relay specs for one model is 30 volts, 3 amps. That may be ok for a people gate but it wouldn’t handle the 120 vac load of a...

I would do some troubleshooting before I replaced the board again. Does the circuit board show any signs of water damage? Is the relay rated for the electrical load of the gate? Is the panel receiving the signal to and energizing the relay but the contacts are not closing? If so you may be able...

You will want to or may be required by your insurance company to have the sprinkler system monitored. The sprinkler riser should be a branch off of your domestic water. Typically a valve tamper switch and a water flow switch are installed. If a head fuses, or the valve is inadvertently left...

I don’t think there’s and issue with the two circuits in the same raceway, but you will need to increase the FMC from the panel to 1”. You are over the fill capacity.

If for your own purpose, you want to identify which is the LINE or FEED wire in a box, we have the electrician put a wrap of black tape on the FEED cable outer jacket for fire alarm work. Some devices will have a cable marker with the circuit # and the previous or next device number on it. For...
