I have a sprinkler controller on my garage wall with a piece of small conduit hiding the wire. The wire goes through the wall to the outside, and another conduit down that wall. There is this "mystery" fitting that caps it off, and on the outside also keeps water from going down it. I also added...

I have tried searching for the shell online. Most parts website have them "Discontinued". When I find something on Amazon, it 20V. Also the parts talked about V1, V2, etc. But I could not tell the differance by the pictures. I can try glue, but I don't have too much hope in that. Any thoughts...

When I was doing the air system in the new shop, the suggestion was to just temporarily do some "in hose" until you know for sure how you are going to use it. In the Words of "Watch Wes Work", it is only temporary unless it works. Four years later there is one small change I want to make. My...

Just trying to understand air couples little better. The real qestion is about style. Sometimes I see it referanced as letters and sometimes as manufactures. One warehouse video said their catalog had a real life size/shape of the plugs that you could compare to. I could not find it on their...

Time to buy some tips and nozzle. When I was looking for consumables for my plasma, I could look for SG-55 gun parts. It is the Harbor Freight 170 model. The parts look like parts I found for the "Lincoln Magnum 100L Tweco Mini/#1 Mig gun". Is there kind of a standard? I do know the wire size...

I have never had a valve-to-cylinder leak. When I connect the last mig welder CO2 bottle, there was a leak and it seem to be the bottle's valve. I had no issues with the previous bottle, so I assumed bad valve. I don't use it much, so I just lived with it. Got a new bottle yesterday and doing...

The bottom line question. Trying to figure out the pins. I have a theoretical understanding of how to wire a motor starter with start (NO) and stop (NC) switches. But this is more where the rubber meets the road. Looking at it some of the connections are obvious. For example L1/L2 and T1/T2. I...

After an inspection today, the tech is recommending some extra return air. The house is 2200 square feet with a 4-ton AC. There is two 14x24x1 inch today. The house layout is basically 3 sections, the middle being open. I will include the floor plan picture from the vacuum. It will have lines...

I just order 5 gallons. I have a project in mind. I am just curious if there are any tips? Does it settle over time and do you have to mix it before use? I am guessing from what I have seen, it is like solvent in that as long as you keep the lid on tight, it will not evaporate. Any suggestions...

Helping my inlaws add an outlet for a TV hanging on the wall. It was an easy run, with no insulation or studs to go through. Pulling the wall plate off, it looked like only one Romex was in there and we thought it was an end of a run. After digging in deeper it turned out to be the middle of the...

I have seen lots of threads on backing feeding a panel while using the proper UL interlock. Just asking for a friend. No really, just asking for a friend, and true it might be more academic than anything else. He was looking to buy a portable generator and was looking at a 120 30A. My advice was...

Looking at buying a label maker. Looking to use it from labeling bins to cables. In this model, you can get all kinds including heat shrink. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MR516Y/?coliid=I3GQG0JBFZTJ0W&colid=2K8HTJ06UVIGP&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it This model is the price ...

All my outlets are GFI protected with GFCI outlets. I did not GFI my overhead lights. Now I looking to power a reel-type drop light and was looking for a GFI breaker. This one from HD is what I was expecting from a GFI. It is 49$...

A thread I started on compressor took a bunny trail into the discussion into the age-old debate on outlet vs hardware on large compressors. There are many threads that address that, my question comes from the guy was wanting to share the outlet with a welder. That is why he did not what to...

The last 4 years been changing oil and repairs outside. Finally getting the shop organized enough to actually work on a car inside. I noticed that I needed to use my drop light. Besides being old and looking into a dark hole, the "lighting plan" was going to depend on task lighting. So I thought...

I may be remembering it wrong, someone was looking for something in a propane conversion and they could not find the part by its self. I could be wrong and since it is a newer model it may not fit. Anyway, since I am sticking with NG, if these could help someone let me know.

I would think they make a clip that will snap onto the C-Purlin and hold the MC cable. I have some "one hole" strap clamps, but I am trying not to put any more holes into the purlin. Especially on the wide side. I am stressing it with the weight of the heater to start with. Before any yells at...

Looking to replace my chuck on a Perles XS2100 Will keyless chuck work on a hammer drill? That is what I have on my cordless Dewalt and it seems to work ok. The one that I have now is slipping and the key wants to walk out. This drill was given to me over 20+ years ago. It works great other...

The thread was asking about horizontal venting (https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=465876) and it has "almost" given me enough confidence to tackle my own heater. I was quoted $2,800 and that seemed a little high. It was turn-key at 45,000 BTU and a vertical vent. I was...

Looking for what brand and who installs in the OKC area. From my research, I guessing about a 20kv, natural gas, 200amp ATS. Been thinking about this for the last 3 years since we bought the house. Look at a portable one with UL lockouts, but since my wife could not set it up, I decided to go...
