X2 there has to be one in every post...

Wish I could find one at a decent price! Great machine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First what voltage is the motor? For 220 or higher, L1 and L2 are power leads. For 120v, L1 is power, L2 is neutral. With either, ground is the green screw on the housing. The "join" leads are part of the motor direction set up. You wire nut them together, but DON'T ground them!!!! Sent from...

Depends on load in your area, type of lumber being used, what the loft is going to be used for (live load) and weight of construction materials (dead load) etc. Go online and there are volumes of information on rafter sizing and floor joist sizing. A general rule of thumb to support roof load...

(Retired plumbing contractor) Building code doesn't care about mounting height. You can put it on the roof if you want. Code does regulate vent type and material, clearances to combustible materials and combustion/relief air. Raise it to within 6" or so of the ceiling, use double wall vent pipe...

Had to build a cheap and quick rack to store my steel (off the floor). Inside walls are full, so built a wall rack on the outside. Will add a little roof to cover it later this year.

To answer everyone's thought on resurfacing, no the frames are warped, doors are warped, pretty much a mess. The originals were made out of some sort of paper coated particle board (early 70's). The paper resembles wood grain ( more like a picture of woof grain!). The styles and rails are 1/2"...

Hi guys, have a unique project to start and could use everyone's advise. I am getting ready to replace my kitchen cabinets, but the existing were built in place custom sizes from years ago. I upgraded with granite tops several years ago, but now it's time for new cabinets. I am going to leave...

I found good pricing and free shipping at Fairway Fasteners. I ordered 3900 pieces (machine screws, flat washers, lock washers and nuts) Total cost $53.66

Trying to fill a hanging bin rack with common sized machine screws, sheetmetal screws, etc. Can anyone suggest an online supplier? I buy bolts, nuts and washers from tractor supply, they sell in bulk for just over $2 per pound. So, 1/4" and larger are no problem locally. But they don't sell...

need a pump for my petroleum based solvent parts washer. Not many places to buy a submersible type pump for use with petroleum solvents and very costly! I was thinking of using a standard auto fuel pump mounted on the exterior of the unit with a hose from the tank to the pump and a discharge...

Not sure why you want a 40 amp circuit to feed a 20+ amp load, a 10 gauge 30 amp circuit should be adequate. Voltage drop doesn't factor in until you exceed 50', so with nearly no voltage drop, amperage isn't going to increase, so I would install a 30 amp circuit. Never hurts to be larger, maybe...

Yes it would work. Might need an additional ground bar, but they are cheap. I went ahead and added a ground rod at my sub panel (shop is about 50' from the house) even though I ran a ground wire between the two panels, then attached the ground rod to a lug in the sub panel and to the skin of my...

What is the motor nameplate amps? I have a 5 hp 220 v motor on mine and I am about 10' from the panel. Piped in 3/4 conduit to the starter, then water tight flex from the starter to the motor. I used a 30 amp breaker and 10 ga. Copper wire. As I recall, my motor pulled around 22 amps. Should be...

Keep in mind most boilers are not designed to operate at a low enough temp. Radiant in floor heat normally operate between 80-100 degrees. Most boilers aren't designed to be operated that low, as the flue gas doesn't vent well (starts condensing) at low temps. So be sure and check the specs on...

Highbeam is correct, unless the claytile liner is damaged, you don't need a new liner!! You can save a few bucks. Wish my shop had an existing masonry chimney existing in it.....

You can buy a stainless steel liner (looks like a piece of flex duct). In various lengths and diameters. You just go up on the roof, drop it down the chimney and install the recommended vent cap on top. Connect to the flange on the heater. Code here requires we install these liners on every old...

anyone using a window or wall mount pellet heater? If so, any recommendations. Any info good and bad is appreciated.

When I did mine, I used 2 gang boxes with a flat plate 1 gang adaptor. It only adds the thickness of the plate (which isn't much, they are thin). If you need more room than that, you will need less wires or more boxes. I've seen times people had to use multiple boxes at switch locations. Not...

Yes it will work. 35-40' has minimal voltage drop and 20 amps is 20 amps. Actually #12 wire with your 15 amp load at 40' length will have a voltage drop of 1.91 volts or 1.50 %. Normally you do not want voltage drop more than 3%, so you are good. You can expect to see 118 volts at the motor...
