Good afternoon, I am trying to find (unsucessfully) the distances/code etc. related to the distance needed between a direct vent (concentric vent) furnace and a plumbing vent stack pipe termination through the roof. My plumbing for my laundry room and attached garage sink run in the same...

Good morning all! I have an enclosed trailer that needed a new trailer coupler welded on. This task was something I didn't want the liability of welding on myself at home, after seeing what the trailer shop did, I think I could have done a better job. Take a look at the pictures, should I...

Good morning all, I am finally getting around to finishing EMT install in my garage. One of the last items is my Saylor Beall true 5Hp (22FLA) compressor. I know i need at least #10 THHN and a 30 amp breaker. Since the compressor is on the other side of the garage compared to the panel I...

I have a chance to pickup another pump. If it is a Saylor Beall, I would be interested, but I cannot tell for sure. On the crankcase the numbers "4048 R" which is a Saylor PN for the correct crankcase. It looks like a SB. The one thing throwing me off is at the top of the inter cooler there...

I was reasarching more automatic drains for my compressor. I came across float style "zero loss" moisture drains. Similar prices as the electric units, yet no electricity required. Another benefit seems that it would not matter how frequent/infrequent you use the compressor, but the drain...

Would you buy "scratch and dent" compressor tank air reciever Good morning all....A while back I picked up a 1970's Saylor Beall 705 compressor with 120 gallon tank for almost nothing (pics below). After the recent air tank exploding stories, and the fact that even the surface of my tank has...

Good morning, I have a Sterling GG45 running on Nat Gas and thermostat controlled running constantly all winter at minimum set temp of 55deg. Worked great all winter, but last night I accidently left garage door open all night and temps reached 9 degress F. Now the thermostat only states...

I wired up the new mag starter on my 5Hp Saylor Beall today. I followed the wiring diagram. I went to start it and it will not spin, the motor or mag starter just hums but does not spin. It sounds like it is trying to spin and is either "seized" or theres not enough power. I checked the...

I am working out the venting situation for my Beacon Morris 45K. I am planning the vertical concentric vent kit. In the manual it states air intake to be 2ft above roof penetration, PLUS the maximum snow depth. Where would I find the maximum snow depth, (I live in southeastern MI) I have...

The wife just gave me an early Christmas present! A Beacon Morris separated combustion heater! I want to get it mounted and vented to my HVAC guy can come connect gas. After reading through the instructions for the separated combustion venting it leaves me confused. It states that you...

Good morning, I have been slowly working on getting my old Saylor Beall 3Ph compressor converted to 1Ph and up and running. I have a new mag starter & new motor. My question is if I can use the original pressure switch. It is a Furnas 69HA1 pressure switch. The reason I am not sure is that...

I am now the proud owner of a 1970 Saylor Beall 705, 120 gallon compressor!!! And I got it for a steal, I think, only $400...:rocker: It is currently 3 phase, i will be adding a single phase motor to it and get it running. Hopefully over the next winter I will take it all apart and...

I am planning to finish insulating/drywall the rest of the garage this weekend. I have insulated the entire cieling and ll of the exterior walls and the wall adjacent to the house (firewall). My question is about a small interior wall about 20 feet long. The wall partially separates the rest...

I have an attached garage I plan to run a 100 Amp sub panel to, from my 200 amp main. I know I have several options to go as far as the wire choices etc, but based on trying to save some money and having cable available locally I plan to run 1/0-1/0-1/0-2 SER found locally for $2.84 a foot...

Yes, the best case would but to cut concrete and run proper drainage and water. Unfortunately I do not have the funds for that. My goal is to have the urinal in the garage in a simple way. I have pictures of a few thoughts below, let me know if you guys think any will work or what will be...

Good morning, I am continuting my garage resto, and would like some guidance before I proceed. I moved into the house about two years ago, the garage was "finished" but not very well. The trusses (pics below) are 24" OC & 2x4 construction. I am looking to add 5/8" plywood down in the...

I may be overthinking this but, if I plan to surface mount my subpanel and therefore the conduit straps to the firewall between attached garage and house, how do I effectively seal the firewall back up? The garage side of the firewall is 1/2" vertically taped/mudded & then 5/8 type X...

Can I use a Reznor "Commercial/industrial use only" hanging heater in my garage? I have a 2005 Carrier 70,000 Btu furance that I was going to use in my garage, now I decided to sell/trade for a hanging heater. I would really like a separted combustion unit. Although yesterday I was made the...

Good morning. I finally have something to post after a few years of just watching and learning. We recently purchased a home with a nice size garage, the 3rd bay which was added on to the original garage has a partition wall in it that I would like to remove in order to make the most of the...
