    Clogged gas line or a bigger problem

    Drip legs are for more than just water/moisture. The inside surface of iron pipe can flake off. Pipe is not sealed when shipped and stored. Bugs and their nests are not always noticed when pipe is cut, threaded and installed. I've found more than a few crickets that made it all the way to a...

    Hose Bib mounting on metal skin steel building

    How is your wall constructed? My building has a 6" C channel on the slab with same size purlins 48" above. What I did was attach a scrap piece of purlin vertically from C channel up to the next purlin. I put it flat against the wall. This gave me something solid to attach a weather proof box...

    Hot surface ignition kit

    The pilot orifice might need cleaning. If that doesn't fix the problem then you most likely have a bad safety valve.

    Dry cut saws on stainless steel

    I've had the milwaukee 2682-20 saw for at least 5 years. All thread, strut, emt is easy to cut. 20ga and thicker stainless sheets shortened the blade life. Oh, and DON'T forget the hearing protection. http://https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Metalworking/Metal-Cutting/2682-20

Built new house close by and had trouble finding an agent that thought their asking price was realistic. 2500sqft house, 2000sqft shop on 4 acres. Finally found an agent and it sold in two days after listing for their...

    Food trucks and concession trailers

    Thanks for the replies. I just figured there had to be some standard building practices. It makes sense that some cities/states would have their own codes. The number of trucks and trailers has grown exponentially around here in the past year. Even "Food Courts" set up in parking lots or old gas...

    Expanding stem casters?

    Tighten by hand out of the cart leg just enough for a snug fit. Slide the stem in and use large channel lock pliers to tighten more. There should be a round collar at the base of the stem or sometimes a hex head on the bottom side just above the wheel. Is this link similar to what you are...

    Troubleshooting Pilot on Older Reznor

    Check your pilot light flame. The first thing to check is the color of the flame. A natural gas flame should be a bright blue color with a small amount of yellow at the very tip. A propane flame will have more of a bluish-green flame with a tinge of yellow at the tip. The flame should be strong...
