    Control cable

    I don’t use Belden because there’s no Green conductor. How am I supposed to maintain my color code consistency when there’s no Green?:sneaky:

    Control cable

    Sorry, OurTown. I don't have any in my inventory. But, ~5/8" seems to be correct. It's relatively easy pulling through 3/4" EMT even with an accompanying Cat6.

    softeners

    From personal experience...We tested a "conditioner" in one of the biggest operator's locations. After 1 week, we un-bypassed the softeners due to customer complaints of "no soap". Mr. Big's car washes were finely tuned and there was no way he was going to increase the soap dilution ratio. I'll...

    Winter is coming... floor heat.

    With many Raypak atmospheric systems installed, none are pressurized. A competitor's system was pressurized with a PRV at 8psi (like a residential/commercial hydronic heating system) It sprung an undetected leak and filled the system with water. The subsequent multi-day power failure...well, it...

    Control cable

    Pretty much the same...except for the "clear Polyamide (nylon)" insulation layer and the jacket color (Grey vs Black). I buy for the job, typically 500' - 800' Haven't purchased any this year Last year's price was $1.40/ft.

    Coleman SS Spot Free

    I would just replace the Erie Valves. They’re less than $100 each. Rebuild kits are close to half the cost plus the time to rebuild. A high volume pump, motor, motor starter, and all the associated parts needed to build a separate repressurization system is not cost effective when the existing...

    Coleman SS Spot Free

    A medium pressure SFR system can be accomplished with the existing pumps…it’s a bit complex but it works if done correctly. Components include: A high pressure solenoid valve (Dema 453) A pressure regulator (JEAdams 7075) A 3-way zone valve (Erie VT3223G13A020) For best results, the RO water...

    Winter is coming... floor heat.

    Worst time ever to obtain a hydronic boiler! Most are on backorder...12 to 16 weeks! Just have a look at supplyhouse.com...every brand is either "out-of-stock" or "backorder". Your picture looks like black poly pipe from the 1970s. Used for lawn sprinklers...not suitable for the long term...

    We use a local “residential duct supplier” to fab our troughs. 22ga galvanized steel, bent to form an “L”. 8-1/2” wide x 5-1/2” high x 1” lip x 10’ long. 2 ”L“s create the trough and provides swing room for wrenches. We glue 3/4” polyiso to insulate…and heat cable to keep it warm. The...
