    Inline Air Filters Moisture Removal Help

    Like I said: I mostly posted in case some had a preference for other small water filters such as Norgren, Aro, Sioux & many other brands. It seems like we will get by with the Harbor Freight one as long as we replace the non stainless 10-32 two inch machine screw with a stainless one. Think...

    BSPT pipe thread vs NPT "hands on" person?

    There were a few hydraulic hose & parts suppliers here in our area who were familiar ... but it appears like the best a bit more detailed help was online in this case & was the following: https://trimantec.com/blogs/t/thread-identification-guide I got out one of my calipers & based on the ODs'...

    Inline Air Filters Moisture Removal Help

    2Biz, I think it might be specific to the specific boiler because we never needed to do this before. For some reason the condensation does not flow through to the drain like the other of the same model (different year) of boiler. We have not found an easy way to unplug the interior path on...

    BSPT pipe thread vs NPT "hands on" person?

    I ordered something online & on their specification they said PT for the pipe thread ports on the device & like a dummy I assumed that meant NPT. No it turns out that is very likely BSPT. I did find adaptors to NPT that I can order from Ebay etc so I am not worried too much. 1/4" & 1/8"pipe...

    Inline Air Filters Moisture Removal Help

    For several years now we have been using the following (linked below) to remove moisture from combustion pressure line on one of our 92+ efficient Hydropulse 150K BTU Modular Boilers. The reason why I am posting is because I am thinking that some of you can share about which brand-models of air...

    Temporary pumps

    I would not replace my Flojets with this pump & we too like the Flojets quick exchange capability for SS brush, tire motor, & presoak. Our previous Aro Pumps were a nightmare compared to the Flojets. I thank this forum's leaders for sharing their positives which then lead us to switch over to...

    Temporary pumps

    I am thinking it would. As the nozzle(s) restrict the flow allowing less gpm it seems like the pressure or lift would increase???

    Temporary pumps

    Hmmm... that gph is about 18gpm ... divide by 6 bays ... 3gpm. 2Biz help me out here. Yaaah ... I suppose I need to look at the pump graph before I jump to conclusions. Axxlrod, I notice it says on your link Total head lift: 70 PSIG Suction head lift: 26 ft. I am not sure if I am...

    25+???

    Debra, I was the mudman helper for the bricklayers for our self service way back in the summer of 1968 so I was involved even with the initial foundation & with the prestressed concrete roof crane work. From then on I was pretty much in the loop for certain tasks & future improvements. One...

    I am armed while at my car wash

    A slightly intoxicated man came in the laundromat when it was partially full of customers a few years ago. I was carrying a cordless drill pointed down as I headed to the self service car wash portion of our facility. He shouts with a loud shrill theatrical voice "He has a gun He has a gun"...

    Magikist CP900

    Since you are in Canada ... my gut feeling is that as time goes on more & more self service customers will want to use the toonie because of inflation rather than just the loonie. I bet even the retailers in Canada appreciate not having to mess with smaller denomination coins unlike the...

    Adding Shampoo/Vac and Fragrance Vac - Payback ??

    Aaah Hahaha sayeth me the blind man who picked up his hammer & saw! What confused me was a possible correlation between vacuum & psi vs the very different "inches of water". 40 kilopascals on my gauge = to 161 vacuum inches of water based on the following conversion tool. The following more...

    Adding Shampoo/Vac and Fragrance Vac - Payback ??

    Even so gauges tend to only go to about 50 inches of water that I have seen available??? The ones linked are identical to the one I own & it only goes to 40 inches of water ... it appears!

    Incoming Power to my Carwash

    I just looked up at our pole & it has 3 transformers & a wild leg thingy with its 240VAC 3 phase. I tend to measure over 240VAC & the amp draw is consistently the same on each of the the 3 wires to all my 3 phase motors. I was told that Delta Wild Leg is very common across the country even...

    Adding Shampoo/Vac and Fragrance Vac - Payback ??

    I can't help but think that CleanMachine's warm all year round climate & his use of dollar coins is a factor.

    Anyone using LPR license plate readers?

    Sounds like a real worthwhile winner. Now hopefully new technology does not mess that up. The "obsoleting factors"?

    Pit questions

    Randy & others, PEACE OF MIND??? Despite of the add'l challenge when we have to be that dang thorough! I remember back in 1985 when we had a general contractor handle the attic-truss roof for our formerly flat roof on our laundromat. I kid you not ... he actually told me before we signed...

    Saving a few $$ with Zoro Tools

    I got in on some 5x more durable entrance mats for the laundromat facility & a spare 3/4HP motor for our huge Taco deicer pump. They had the best prices on those items before the 25% discount we got before Dec 8th. Thanks Greg for starting this thread. The entrance mats we got less than a...
