Haven't really had a chance to run it for extended periods just yet, but when it has went through a few cycles there was nothing to report. Nothing out of the auto drain or any drops. The true test will be once I get a blasting cabinet..

I didn't "NEED" it either, but I got it if I do "NEED" it. Plumbed a 3/4" RapidAir loop system while I was at it. :cool:

I use a Nitecore 18650 powered headlamp. It can start to get warm on the higher settings, but it sure pumps out the lumens.

Good call on the Whisper option. Once you have it hooked up you'll realize the need for a quite room is unnecessary. Aside from filling tires, any air tool you'll be using will drown it out 10 fold.

Ha what a coincidence. I'm looking at that very model. I stopped by their facility the other day (30 min away) to listen to it and all they had was a 10hp model available to hook up. I was blown away how quite it was and how fast it filled up the 80 gal. tank. They said the 7.5hp model is a...

If you have one close by, Rural King will price match. That's what I did.

$20 keg and whola.

I absolutely love the tube heater! For large open spaces like our shops I think tubes are probably one of the better options out there. Easy to install with two people if you access to a scissor lift. They're efficient, relatively quite, no blowing air (kicking up dust) and heat the objects...

Another O-H-I-O folk just jumping in. Nice looking shop UTCiv. :thumbup:

Atlas PV-10P here. I've had everything from 1-ton diesel dually, Jeep TJs to lowered Civcs on it regularly. Pretty versatile lift.

Well done, sir. That's pretty much the blue (no pun intended) print when I get ready to do mine. :thumbup:

Finally found some good pallet racking for some much needed storage. A local Sears was liquidating everything and I was able to get the pallet racks (12' uprights, 60" deep with heavy duty wire shelving) for only $250!

I use a 130K BTU 40' heater for a 2,000 sqft space w/12' walls (vaulted ceilings). It's more than sufficient and I could've easily got by with a 110K BTU unit (same length). Hope that helps.

You are correct. The only B-type I have is going through the wall thimble.

I'd jog around your attic opening and out the side wall. You'd have a few bends, but that leaves room for expansion movement (and it will). I found a round thimble at Menards that fit in-between the tall ribs with a few minor mods and then siliconed it nice and tight. What I did was cut a...

I'm sure you'll be fine mounted to one side. You may even prefer the cooler side of the bldg for work related tasks, especially when the tube is doing its business. :thumbup:

I used Wagos for every electrical connection in my shop build. For added security I ran a small piece of electrical tap across the levers and around the back. Never know if you'll accidentally flip a lever while you're stuffing wires back into a box...

Thank you. NG and the slab is not insulated, but I typically don't keep it that warm either. Whatever the temp is set at, the slab is also very close to that. It does drop down 8-10 deg from what it's set at to the far corners and at the garage door sill. I believe mine required 60" from...

I absolutely love my tube heater and wouldn't have any other type of heater for my space.

I agree. A 150k BTU 20' tube will be toasty for sure. For reference, I use a 130K 40' tube heater for a 2,000 sq ft shop (14' walls, 17' at the peak) and could easily of went 110K BTU.
