It’s so hard to order a slider…

We spend $1.5 million a year with THD and they would not accept a return of a custom order if we screwed up. It’s right there on the quote.

This has been quite enlightening, though we don't do many windows anymore. We have always installed Low E with argon which gets us to 0.29, and would need to add EPS spacers (or triple Low E at even more $$$) to comply with 2024, but we are still on 2015 in Georgia and 2021 in Florida.

Well, you still need pressure, otherwise your superheat and subcooling numbers may be skewed. I imagine temp/temp may be close enough in many cases, but you cannot be sure, so a pressure reading seems a small price to pay for better information, especially if you're trying to set it really close.

The tag on the tank will likely be the ASME label for whoever made the tank. It will have a date of manufacture and information about the tank material, test pressures, etc. There may also be a label or logo of the compressor OEM on the tank, but not always. Look on the pump itself to identify...

Or maybe a Kellogg-American. Those intercooler tubes look more like Kellogg, as the SBs I have seen use a big, cast intercooler.

The official Copeland guidance is still 20° F measured on the suction line 6" from the compressor inlet, but that is a very conservative number that was set many years ago (Copeland is very protective of their compressors). Having said that, if you have a stable 12° F, it should be fine as...

I think a demo blade would cut those screws without too much effort.

There are shorter 10d nails (e.g. 1 1/2" and 2 1/2") and in some applications you nail a pair of 3" nails in double shear through the joist and hanger on an angle into the beam. The Simpson catalog has all the details.

Cylinders, pistons and cylinder head installed. Took Saturday “off” to help our youngest move.

Could be, I suppose.

He's still out there looking for a copy of the 2020 IRC.

Japan has both 50 Hz (east) and 60 Hz (west) service depending on location. I understand this is because both US and European equipment were used to rebuild after war.

Read the code and be enlightened. ETA: Now that I have a minute more: the longest finished opening allowed is 18 feet, so an 18' door is fine. You also cannot have more than one finished opening within a single portal frame, so even 2 single 8' doors could not be accommodated by one 18'...

IRC does not allow a header longer than 18’. If 2 doors, it usually requires 2 separate headers.

A Compliant Scroll starts unloaded so it can rattle a bit. It has to get up to speed to generate enough force to hold the flanks in radial contact and enough pressure to hold the tips of the orbiting scroll to the fixed scroll axially.

I'm not sure you meet the minimum braced wall panel requirements. We always use the portal framing method (CS-PF) around garage doors. You only need to extend the header(s) a few feet, so it adds nearly no material, but offers sufficient shear resistance with less braced wall panel length.

It depends on what expansion tool you use. Uponor calls for 7-8 times on 1/2" for the Milwaukee M12 with standard heads. 11-12 for 3/4" and 17-18 for 1".
