Here in SoCal there are a lot of neighborhoods with Jacaranda trees. My parents house had them, one of my houses had them. They are beautiful trees when they are blooming but the flowers leave so much sap all over everything (cars especially) that I just hate them. Picture for reference

Although my unit is currently 3 phase, I can (and am) easily convert it to single phase with a couple of parts from the manufacture. They were very clear on this. As others have stated as well as does the selection chart from the manufacture, it does do 208 and as previously explained 240 - 32...

What is the proper way to test those...I'm assuming a multimeter. Not being an electrical guy I'm not 100% sure but I do have a couple of different multi-meters (I "regular" one and one of those clamp ones). Yes...I'm thinking plug before transformer means I can just plug it into an existing...

I need single phase, not 3 phase.

Where are you located. I'm in SoCal and got several quotes from big name companies that advertise a lot. Then got a quote from a recommended independent and price was about 2/3 for the exact same system/components.

OK...so I was able to pickup the Acme T113074 transformer for $45 bucks. It was actually for two of them mounted on a steel frame so I got two and a frame for $45 bucks! So looking at the schematic, here is what I believe I need to do. On the input side Connect H2 & H3 together Connect one leg...

So 16/32 is 208? Just making sure.

The $1000 in parts is a entirely new lid with heating elements ($750) and the one more heating element for the body to make it 240v compatible and the some wiring parts to go from 3 phase to single. They don't suggest trying to just replace the heating elements in the lid as it usually destroys...

Manufacture did give me a small parts list to convert to single phase so that's not a problem. Thanks for the replies. I'll check them out.

So in another thread I mentioned I got a kiln but it's 208v 3 phase however my garage is 240v single phase. So getting a quote from manufacture to do the proper swap of everything that is needed and it's just under a grand for all the parts. Someone else mentioned getting a buck boost step down...

Here is what I did. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/ceiling-fan-for-tall-shop.484319/post-9299964

How is that working for you? What size building and unit is this?

Best to go to your local city/planning department and verify permit/plans/engineering needed. A 27X27 is much bigger than a typical "shed" that you can usually get away without asking. Would be a bummer to keep going through stuff just to find out that they require much more than you think or...

I had the same thing happen in my 40X60X20 shop. I asked about mini splits and they said the cost for "them" to do the mini split systems was not much of a savings over a conventional split system at 5 ton. So I'm in the same boat as you..."risk it" and just give it a try or bite the bullet and...

Here are my cutters. Although I dig using older tools, when it comes to glass cutting, these Toyo models really do a great job even on old vintage glass. The one on the left is my primary one, middle for breaking down large sheets and the one on the right for my kids or teaching beginners.

This one is an extra for me. Coxreels P-LP-325 with 3/8" 25" hose with quick connect connectors on both ends. Is in great shape, works perfect. I think it weighs about 30 lbs so consider that for shipping but local pickup in SoCal would be preferred. Oh...this one is made by the legendary Jose...

So I'm thinking that the reason for "snug tight" on building bolts is because buildings don't shake, move, rattle around for the bolt to come loose...like things in a car do. Is that the reason?

So you have a 36K MrCool...is it a single unit or do you have multiple zones or just one? Pictures?

Here is what my plans said and I also had to get a special inspection done. I hired a "Special Inspection" company (I had no idea that was even a thing), they did the inspection and no issues were found. As dcg9381 mentioned, have the inspector tell you specifically why they failed, have the...

At first I thought it was a maze! Looks good and sturdy too! I refurbished an old miter box and saw and decided to build a basic box for my first project with it. After my arms about fell off cutting all the pieces I haven't used it since however my old trusty electric miter saw (not a compound...
