I've got my mini split installed, went well. Pulled down to 150 microns, with a rise to 200 after a few minutes, and held for 20 minutes after that. We've got heat which is very nice. Now I need to run the condensate line. This is a ceiling cassette with an internal condensate pump. I wanted...

Thanks for the advice! I found this guy on offerup last night after I posted, the guy is going to sell it to me for $125 which is hard to beat. It's like a mini jackhammer, and at 42lb not quite as monstrous as the big Dewalt...

I have a project involving bushing concrete. This is the sixth time in two years I've had to rent a larger tool because my rotohammer just isn't big enough. Seems like time to buy one. I have several more projects in mind I would use it for. There are a few name brand SDS-Max ~28lb demo hammers...

Well too late for me, I've already purchased all of the equipment. We considered a slim ducted unit, but once I framed the house, we decided the closet space we had was too small to give up. Wife was not willing to go for a wall mounted unit. I've watched videos of how to clean the unit, and it...

No, this unit is mounted in a closet. Here's another angle for perspective. This isn't the one I was originally asking about, just sharing general progress.

Yeah, I'm pretty committed to the Fujitsu. They were the only brand I could find which had the slim ducted style unit which could be mounted vertically. Plus, I've already ordered everything for it. But I just called their tech support, and the support agent confirmed the only reason they call...

That's what I was hoping. I just found different wording in a different document from them. I'm going to check the cleaning procedures and see if that yields any additional info.

I'm installing a Fujitsu ceiling cassette unit in a bedroom, with the 3-way outlet configuration. The manual shows a min. 4" clearance, but then makes a note about ensuring sufficient service access. There is plenty of access from above in the attic. Do you read that as the 4" clearance is...

Got the Westward and had a chance to try it out. It will suit my needs. Feels pretty well built and accurate in my limited testing. It is the Eclatorq wkc3-135 rebranded for Grainger. Since it is a 100 ft-lb wench, the minimum guaranteed range is 20-100%. One of the values I need will be 12...

Used it, thanks!

I ordered the westward, and a torque adapter to check it with. I’ll let you know how it goes.

FSUwelder1212, that looks like an interesting option. I'm not sure if the bend radius of the linesets will clear that fitting. dnschmidt, you might know since this is a Eclatorq unit. I almost purchased the yellow jacket digital wrench (link), but I've been quite confused by its proper usage...

I am installing a mini-split, and I need a torque wrench for torquing the flare connections. It would be nice if I could find a torque wrench that would be useful for other general tasks. The yellow-jacket clicker seems popular among HVAC pros, but they are heavily backordered, and limited to...

Getting ready to paint and have been doing research on product. I’m using SW superpaint but my question is about primer. The boards come pre-primed, but I’ve been reading about potential problems about alkaline burning, efflorescence, excessive fading, etc. some people seem to think the hardie...

Well, regardless siding is coming on nicely.

Working on siding this week. I'm using hardieplank on top of a rainscreen mat. Ocassionally I get this when nailing near an edge. I think it is more likely to happen when the nail gun doesn't set quite enough and I tap it lightly with a hammer. Is this a problem, anybody know what to do to...

So I did this detail with liquidflash to air-seal (and keep bugs out) at the sill to foundation intersection and I'm wondering about covering it with siding. If I start the first course flush at the bottom of the sheathing like normal, it will leave the 1" of gray sealer exposed. I could start...
