Wow you guys really stir me up when you talk about how easy installation is, I use to have a dog in this fight and I can tell you a well-designed system is not a snap to install.

I bet not a one of you that find it so easy know anything about properly sizing a unit or the duct system, also those of you that installed a forced air unit did you use a manometer and set the gas pressure to specs, did you read the TSP of the unit, did you take a heat rise at the bonnet and set the fan speed correctly?

When I was in the HVAC business I ran into so many self-installed butchered units the owner was so proud of.

Now if Dave is running a boiler if the wet return is at a different height than the old boiler do you know how to re-plumb the Hartford loop or do you just grab some fittings and “Giter Done”?

Yeah I have seen some do it you self-installations the exhibited excellent craftsmanship but I never seen one where the HO had the equipment to fine tune the installation unless you have enough knowledge of installation to make a safe installation it is not always the thing to do.

The agony of a bad installation will far outlast the thrill of a good deal.

Rant is done now.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in ... [Read Article]
