the pentax pumps are weaker pressure wise than a goulds, they work fine but will burn when run dry
just make sure and have dry tank protection

the impeller has narrow passages which can get clogged over time though but can be serviced.

The mechanical shaft seal is what burns when run dry. I put a half filled water bottle inside the tank with a string and lead weight on the outside. When the tank is filled the weight hangs low and vice versa. No need to be unaware of an empty tank

[pugboy]

you have to watch that then physically switch off pump

I usually watch it once a day. If tank is running low I switch to the next tank.

Plumbing question:

Trying to convert an old bathroom (toilet and shower separate but side by side) into a single bathroom containing shower, toilet and vanity. There wasn't any sink previously and after we gutted the shower, we observed that the shower drain was 1.5" pvc which flowed into a 2" (on the outside).

My question is can I add another drain (for the vanity) to the 1.5" shower drain? The only feasible option is to route it to the actual shower drain since I am raising the level of the floor of the shower. Hence the waste line can be encased in the concrete.

Do we get those pre-mixed cement which you just add water to locally?

Looking for a quick solution to cast some fence posts (2" pipe)

Don't think so. Might have to buy a yard of half and half if it's a lot of posts. If not they sell by the feedbag for smaller jobs

My issue with the perlin screws is the head of rhe screw that will be sticking out a bit.

Any other options?

These are the screws used for concrete board. You’ll have to counter sink the board a bit.

And these screws would be able to go into flat steel or rhs comfortably?

Depends on the thickness of the RHS and flats, yes. You may need to use cutting countersunk screws for your application or pre-drill the materials. What’s the thickness of the concrete board?

If you want good quality fasteners, you’ll get them at Agostini / Hilti store. Any hardware you’ll get the cheaper ones.

if they running them into i beams is either they pre drilling the hole or using torpedo screws

The quality of screws vary a lot.

Quick question
Need some information on rolling gates. I need to install a wheel for the track. I see some gates with the wheel box welded into the frame, others with the frame cut and the wheel is inside of it (with and without a flat steel welded to support it) or just weld the wheel under frame in a wheel box. Any pros and cons for each method?

[mitsutt]

Where/ who builds good walk in closet?

[pugboy]

if wheel or box is welded below gate then there will be larger space between gate and ground, stray animal could pass under

if welded within it may be harder to change wheels later on as harder to raise gate
in my case i made a piece of metal like a z to use a car jack to raise gate
