3/4 inch to 1 inch motor shaft retrofit
Comments (12)Guys, I wanted to update you on the retrofit of the Subaru motor to the Cyclone Leaf Rake. I finally got the parts and made time to adapt the thing. While I am sure that Lawnboyforever's parts are better than the kit I made, mine seemed to do the job. My one area of concern is the impeller bolt. It is one size smaller than before, the shaft is a bit shorter and the one I found is not a grade 8. I put Locktite on the threads and will get a grade 8 bolt soon to replace this one. The engine runs quietly and efficiently as I used it to do the yard for 4 hours today. It used a small amount of oil but I guess that is to be expected. I had no vibration problems or wobble of the impeller so I may be in okay shape for now. Check out the pics! Thanks for all of your support, QuickRick Here is a link that might be useful: Cyclone Leaf Rake...See More3/4 inch vs 1/2 inch copper remodelling
Comments (10)Got a question. My shower has 3 body sprays that never worked right because they were hooked up with the other shower heads and therefore had no pressure. I opened up a part of the wall on the outside to see what I could do. The body sprays have a 1/2" presure balance system hooked up to a regular valve coming from the shower heads. I bought a Moen 1/2" posi valve to hook up to the body sprays and separate from the shower heads. My main is 3/4" branching off to the 1/2" balance system. My question is the 1/2" posi valve has small holes inside for the water, would it benefit me to use a 3/4" posi valve to mix more water or would that just turn down the pressure. I hoped I explained this right. I cannot redo the 1/2" balancing system without taking all the tile and cement board off and really creating a mess.

Comments (15)Helpful discussion! I am installing hardwood on our top floor, and I'd like a good quality hardwood. The trouble is that I have an open staircase going upstairs with lots of railing on both sides of the open hallway. I pulled up the existing carpet upstairs and realized that I only have 1/2 inch between the carpet and the railing. The hardwood contractor says that I'll have to go with 3/8 inch engineered hardwood; If I don't, the new floor will be higher than the railings. Alternatively, the railings will all have to be pulled out and their height increased-which will cost thousands. My question is this: Are these the only two options? 3/8" hardwood or raise the railings? Since we have a dog, I am a bit concerned about getting a flooring product with a 2 mm wear layer....See MoreShould I replace a 1/4 inch lineset that should be 3/8 inch?
Comments (4)Look in the installation instructions for your condenser. It will tell you if 1/4 can be used and, if so, how much efficiency you will lose because of this. The installation manual should also give a range of subcooling and superheat, not just a single figure. Work with these numbers to see if you can get a satisfactory combination. I don't think this will be a problem but if you can't get the numbers to be acceptable and the line is accessible, go ahead and change it. It should cost about $75-$150. Get the best quality copper line you can find as most is junk. If you have the ability to evacuate and recover the refrigerant, you should be good to go. What noise are you hearing? Hissing? Gurgling? Sounds like whoever installed the system didn't do a very good job flushing and testing the existing line....See Moreroey736
