Would my regulator be the last component in line?

I am installing the Maxline 3/4" in my garage. I bought a three filter setup on Amazon (see link below). I also bought a Parker 3/4" regulator. I'm going to do some painting, non-show projects. Where does the filter set up get installed and the regulator? I am thinking from my paint hose...

So this year I finally needed to use the jack I rebuilt last year. Of course with the transmission in the air, the jack creeps down. Only thing I can find is between the top nut on the tank, I see little air bubbles at the seam between the nut an tank (arrow). The seal in the nut to rod shows no...

I am currently closing in my ceiling in my pole barn garage. The area above my 4 post lift, I modified the necessary trusses and now have a "dog house" opening. The vertical sides are closed in and formed with Trim Coil. I want to insulate these vertical panels. I have R-30 for the horizontal...

I have a mid 90's enclosed trailer. I just installed new brake kits. However the adjuster holes are so close to the 90 degree at the drop, I cannot get a "spoon" in to adjust? I bought a "special" Dexter drop axle adjusting spoon but it cannot reach the star wheel nor have any swing. I can't get...

Is there an exploded view of the 100C anywhere? I just want to see what the BOM is should I need to rebuild/seal it. Also to get a better understanding of the torch. Thanks,

Trying to understand the location of Flashback Arrestors. I saw a pair of Victor Arrestors online that appear to thread in between the hose ends and the torch. Is this the way to use them? Thanks,

Any idea on a part number of Rosebud that will work with what I've got? Thanks!

I've never had a torch set of my own and never justified getting any as I never had too many opportunities to use one. So today I picked up an older set of Victor stuff from a nearby elderly gentleman who had them posted in the local grocery store for sale board. $115 for what you see...

$250/day and he's a 90 minute drive. I figure I might need it over two days just because of travel and doing the labor. I'm a mechanical engineer by trade, not a truss builder so I'd be taking my time not to screw things up. So it's a minimum of 6 hours travel in a day to try it all in a day. So...

Here is the type of press he rents. I just see it as a pain in the *** holding it up in the air when it comes to attaching to the existing truss. Mitek Truss Plate Press video

I hired an engineer to engineer a truss solution in my garage. I need one truss modified so that I can raise my 4 post lift. The filed engineering drawings call for Mitek tie plates. The prong type. The engineer indicated to me that he has the proper press to press the plates for $250/day rent...

I just don't want any voids after filling. The hole kinda goes up once inside. Thanks,

Some sort of critter dug out the stone and some dirt under my poured concrete floor. Once I'm sure it's dead or gone I'd like to fill it with zero void if possible. The opening is about 12" wide and 4" high. Probably a 3 gallon bucket full of stones and dirt have been dug out. What is the best...

I must have had air in the pump? Nothing was working so this morning I pulled the pump piston just to check and make sure I didn't ****** up any of the o-rings. Put it back it and all together and it works fantastic. I appreciate your assistance. Picked up the jack for $75 on FB Marketplace and...

Is there a priming procedure for these pumps? I thought I could fill to the fill hole, put the plug back in and pump away bleeding air? Stroking the pump provides no action. If I pull the platform and plunger you can hear "sucking". Letting go the plunger goes down a bit and holds. When I push...

Hiball, I'm probably dow to my last question? Thank you so much for your concise responses. You are a great asset to the Garage Journal forums. Last thing, working on the pump. I didn't notice any leaks around it but if I'm replacing everything else, I might as well go all the way. How should...

Yes, Piston Seal. I couldn't think of it at the time I was typing. The seal is a Hallite 511 single acting piston seal. It was part of the kit I bought. The outer ring seems to be of a harder durometer material. The o-ring is your typical o-ring that stretches, the outer ring isn't as flexible...

So what is the magic trick to putting the lower rod seal on? It's the two piece seal. I tried warming it up in hot water to soften to no avail. I chopped the end off a funnel to use as an expanding guide but I can't hold it well enough and straight enough for it to work. Any tips? See yellow...

I see people using all kinds of fluids for jacks. Any recommendations or just hardware store Hydraulic Jack Fluid? thanks,
