An air gap is when a discharge pipe or hose ends some distance above the drain pipe. The drain is larger to catch everything. Sometimes a floor sink is used. Sometimes a funnel. Sometimes it’s a piece of hardware that ties everything together like the ones for dishwashers. The idea is that if...

As I was reading this entire thread yesterday (thank you all! this will be part of my future build at home) I noted with interest the comments about the temperature of the discharge relative to the rating of the drain pipes it's going to. This morning Facebook reminded me of a post I made...

Yes, unless the piping configuration is such that you can easily move one side after cutting, you will want the slip tee fitting. As you suspected, Sharkbite fittings do not provide appropriate electrical bonding of the copper tube. Do use a minimum of 6 gauge copper to make a grounding...

You'll need to dismount, and turn right side up, your pumps for oiling. From the manual: Or, if you're careful, it looks like the end cap could be removed from the motor case and reoriented to put the oil port back on top in your configuration. You would need to file an opening in the case...

For thinning the inside, ice cream scoop for large areas, melon baller for small areas. On designs where I'm not cutting through, or for precise detail cuts on the skin I use a pencil handle exacto knife.

I use this handle from Lowes with a narrow jigsaw blade. Works great and much more comfortable to hold for extended periods of cutting. http://www.lowes.com/pd_247218-16878-60151___?productId=1070275

Here's mine for this year. I'm running for local office and in a time honored rural tradition I'm campaigning at the transfer station with my signs stuck in hay bales and my pumpkin along side.

The valve does require 24V to operate.

Assuming your panel is using H-H-N-G, then L1430 is the correct part. As noted previously, your L1530 part is only intended for use on 3 phase systems. Can it be mis-wired to work, sure. But there are two very good reasons to use the right part and not the one you already have. 1. Somebody...

You've got it. Not running the panel neutral through the GFCI breaker will trip the breaker when you have 120 V circuits.

No problem, so long as it is properly rated for your one burner at a time.

Berrywise, note that the listing is for a 50 Hz motor. If you're in North America, you probably have a 60 Hz power source. A 50 Hz motor run on a 60 Hz supply will spin faster (20 %) and may heat up more. Probably not an issue in your use, but be sure to figure that in calculating your gear...

The two terminals on the valve are expecting 24 V AC. Is your relay box providing 24 V AC from a transformer?
