I mentioned back feeding for 30 years to let you all know I am on top of that, and expecting that at the very mention of word "generator" the backfeed dialog would come up. I am using inlet plug, not suicide cord, interlock on main panel that prevents gen connection when the main is on, etc. and...

I have been back feeding generators into house panel for the past 30 years so lets not get into that. I see that there is easy bolt on exhaust flexible extensions available, that I could build a wall thimble for extending safely through my garage walls. My question is has anyone had experience...

Wow I thought there would be more responses. The video fits my experience pretty well. But be warned about the effect on torquing specs. The nylog on back of flare will contribute to over torque results. Most specs are for dry fit. Perhaps even strip threads. I shoot for the low side of the...

Tina25 said " Hyper-Heat technology in mini-split systems refers to a specific heating capability that allows the unit to maintain its heating capacity even at very low outside temperatures. This is achieved through several design and technology features, and while the exact details might vary...

I only mentioned overfilling because it would be possible if someone actually put the receiving tank in dry ice or something or got carried away and heated the supply tank excessively. If one tank is cooler than the other and you leave them connected indefinitely, all the liquid will flow to...

I am not familiar with fittings on a 500 gal tank but if you can get a connection to the liquid portion, you could hook that to your 100lb tank on a scale and let it fill to the proper weight. The 100 lb tank needs to be cooler than the 500 lb one for this to happen. just pack ice around the...

Hmmm i wonder if the smaller sizes get the higher seer from operating in the sweet spot whereas the bigger unit is just pushing the same hardware a bit harder to get the output. I have not understood why it is intrinsic that a smaller unit would be higher seer, -- something I often hear said...

Thanks American locomotive. That makes more sense our of what i have observed in the various brands. Years ago i read some hype from mitsubishi that made me think there was some new type of refrigeration process that was inherently more cold capable. Later on I kept looking for more info on...

I have tried various searches to discover the physical difference between Hyperheat and non-Hyperheat minisplits. Mitsubishi, Mr Cool use this term, Senvile and others use other terms. I know Hyperheats heat to lower outside ambient, because I have three of them. I am just wondering if the...

Thanks to all, for the very helpful lay of the land. I am fabing a piece of copper tubing and purchasing a better air gun. I have been using a very anemic gun which I have wanted to cuss every time I picked it up but never got the moxie to throw away. It was part of a refurbished craftsman air...

I have been saved by many a duh, of course with a few embarassments as well.

That's pretty duh LOL but I seem to need more pressure. My attempts resulted in pretty weak air flow. Compressor is around 120psi. Maybe if I use a larger tube and neck, it down at the tip. I haven't tried plumbing it directly to air hose with a ball valve or something.

On my vehicles it's all one big nook and crannies. Just looking for some way to get high velocity air directed properly at more areas on the radiators on my truck and tractor that allow me to maintain control so I don't bend fins or something. I bought something, wand like, with a right angle...

FYI, I installed a 12K wall Hyper heat model and a 18K Ceiling Hyper Heat Mr Cool units in late 2018, non DIY models, and at the time I anguished over all the warranty concerns but decided that by just buying the non DIY model I could afford to just buy what ever replacement part I needed if...

Sorry to post then not be around for the dialog. Things come up. Thanks for the replies, some very reassuring. The floor hasn't sunk any. And there is no chance that it will get wet under there and ever cause a heave in case I put some foam under there. The ground was saturated when the pour...

This 24'x36' over a 2.5' deep footer trench monolithic pour was done during very wet season over Central KY clay base. Base was prepared by compacting 4" of #57 gravel and then rebaring the floor on 24" centers. This is my detached car garage and play shop for maintaining baby farm stuff. I...

I installed a Senville Sena 18K ceiling cassette version in my 24x36 10' ceiling garage two winters ago and it is the ticket, the Sena version heats down to several degrees below zero according to the specs. The Sena is the "hyper heat" version. It is super quiet and a week or two of near zero...

I have a 4 year old Mr Cool 12K wall wart unit that developed a leak in the inside head (condenser) which was replaced on warranty. The replacement was hooked up and refrigerant weighed in with no oil added by the service tech. It is a 410A unit. Running fine for about 4 months now.

Did a quick search on Amazon, Ebay, even Googled and can't come up with a hit on a gage like that. I don't do enough flares to have a "flair" for it so it would be very stress relieving as I go through installs to know it passed the gage. Hate having to work out the dimensions and then finding...
