I did list the air compressor in my first post. but it is a dual stage 175 psi unit. We have had a milton on the farm for close to 15 years now so that seems to be a good unit. I will just have to start looking. Are there any good places that seem to have better prices than others? I checked IR...

Thank You Stonesfan. You are finnaly thinking the way I do as far as the big box stores. And I was looking at aluminum pipe when the time comes.

the only reason I said 3/4" was to keep it the same from compressor to regulator to piping after. The drops would be 1/2". The regulator will obviously maintain the correct pressure levels. If I found a 1/2" that would work to. Alot of the ones I looked at were pretty close in price Betweeen...

what do you mean they dont work when they are to big?? what brand does menards carry? The last time I looked all of the air compressor stuff our store carried was garbage.

So I will probably look for a regulator filter with 3/4" since I think I will plumb the shop with 3/4" mains anyways when Money allows. So for now Im looking for some suggestions on a quality regulator/filter with 3/4" inlets and outlets.

So I picked up my First Real Compressor for my new shop and now I need Suggestions for a regulator/filter. Im not painting but just running air tools etc. The compressor is a Belair QP318VE that puts out 18.5 cfm at 100psi With a 3/4 outlet on it. Does it matter if I get a regulator with 3/4"...

Anybody?

I just looked again and im not sure it is separated combustion. I googled renzor v3 and the one that came up was but not i looked a little more and I see the that the V3 doesn't mean separated combustion. So im guessing its not. That would explain the price. I do occasional work with wood and...

the used reznor V3 is Separated combustion and was asking $700 and is 1 year old. A new Hot Dawg HDS75 75,000 which is separated is roughly $1150. The Reznor is actually 105,000 with an output of 87,000 btu. Is that going to cause short cycling or not enough to be an problem. The Reznor...

maybe a stupid question but a 75,000 rated heater only puts out around 60,000. is that still ok? which number are you suppose to go by when you do the calculations.

Im looking for opinions or info on what size heater I need for my shop/garage. I have a 30x40x14 pole barn. walls are R19 and ceiling will be R49. I have 2 windows that are 3x4 and 2 overhead doors that are 10x12 and 1 service door. I was thinking maybe 75,000btu hot dawg or Renzor with...

What did you use for the air line from your compressor? is it pex ? where did you get it from? thanks

That is what I am trying to figure out. That is what I would like to do. Easiest and cheapest. I think that is what we did my dads shop on the farm 15 years ago. But we didnt know anything either. Just did it. Seems ok but I have no idea what is going on inside the wall of course.

I have been told or read that it can cause trap moisture and cause mold and or rust. Dont know if its true or not

I agree it will be a hassel to piece in the tyvek in between the framing but thought it would help keep the insulation from touching the exterior steel and keep moisture/snow from touching the insulation. For some reason around here no one builds pole buildings with house wrap before the tin. I...

I have have a 30x40 pole barn that has the normal nailers on the outside of the posts for the exterior steel. Then it is book shelved framed between the posts on 24" centers. there is no house wrap on it. just Steel. Should I cut tyvek in between the framing then insert nonfaced fiberglass batts...
