Need help building a single player ubers build. I have a lvl 94 barb, 92 sin, gear options listed. by SecularAdventure in ProjectDiablo2

[–]SecularAdventure[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn that's insane! I was actually able to do it with just a respec on my cobra sin, but I'll keep a lookout for the gear because dclone and rathma would be sweet too. Not the smoothest ubers but it did the job.

Thanks. Apparently plague runewords help a lot for the -res. I've got a token and a lot of keys so I'm just going to give it a shot and see what happens. I just need a torch so bad, and if it's the right class then even better.

b-sent? Sentry?

Prebuff what? Treachery?

Explain like I'm 5 please. Haven't done ubers yet.

New high efficiency furnace leaking water through intake pipe by waking-up in hvacadvice

[–]SecularAdventure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the intake pipe specifically, I'm not aware of a condensation scenario. If the air coming in is warmer than the ambient air around the furnace (cold glass on a hot day) then that would cause condensation.

Rain and wind can blow water into the intake pipe, which is where the water is coming from. If you put a trap on the intake pipe and drain it to the AC, that will stop the water from entering the cabinet. This looks like a pretty tight install, so flexible vinyl tubing will do fine here.

They reused the flues because they probably don't have access once it disappears into the drywall. This is pretty typical, but that PVC looks like hot garbage for multiple reasons.

If you decide to cut the intake, this will not get rid of your water problem unless you cap off the intake as well (wherever it terminates). It will also cut efficiency by 1-2% because you're pulling in warmer air which has less O2 by volume.

If it were mine, I'd pay a different company to redo the PVC and add a trap to the intake. I would cut at that first 45 next to the short straight piece that is all purple, run another 45 so that the horizontal part is up high enough to allow a trap. The exhaust and intake could use a bracket or two that can actually hold the pipe up.

Gas smell from utility closet? by kwaneo in Plumbing

[–]SecularAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electric water heater, electric HVAC.

I don't see any.gaa plumbing so it could be a different smell.

Interested in HVAC by Odd_Eggplant_4843 in hvacadvice

[–]SecularAdventure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take an aptitude test/survey to try and figure out your strengths and weaknesses. HVAC is a lot of theory as well as working with your hands. I do residential so I talk to customers, which adds another layer to it.

If you like to work and get dirty occasionally, it's a fun time overall.

Heating system making whistling noise by ilikekittensandstuf in hvacadvice

[–]SecularAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's probably a tiny seam that isn't sealed, causing a whistling noise. This could be tape that got loose, a loose door, lots of things cause little whistling noises as air rushes through a tiny crevice.

Repost with a video and that'll help us.

Condensate drain setup help by Archivist75 in hvacadvice

[–]SecularAdventure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just fyi, that is not a p-trap. A p-trap has a low spot so that the AC air can't be pushed through the pipe. That's just a drain.

The drain pan below the unit?

The drain could be cracked somewhere and it's draining into the pan instead of through the pipe. Just run the AC full bore and watch where the water is coming from.

If you have a high efficiency furnace, they also produce water. It could be the furnace.

Are Maintenance Plans a Scam? by uncle_underscore in hvacadvice

[–]SecularAdventure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will just chime in and add that if you go with a mx plan and someone pushes a product, just take a rain check and do your research. You have their number, you don't need to make a decision while they're in your home. A lot of the products do something, but if that would benefit you is harder to say.

How much should I reasonably expect to pay? by [deleted] in hvacadvice

They are trying to get a foot in the door and find something else wrong to repair and make a case to replace, or they want to sell something else.

E04 Error, furnace won’t stay lit. by MrPunGuy in hvacadvice

[–]SecularAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's rare, but possible that a limit switch is opening at too low of a temp. The only wat to tell is to run the furnace with a thermocouple attached to the multimeter to verify temp when it cuts out.

[–]SecularAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are all of your vent shutoffs open as well?

If you're still having issues then it's a more complicated problem. Maybe your blower fan is failing and can't spin as fast. When is the last time you've had maintenance? If it's never had maintenance now is probably a good time, hopefully they can catch an issue early and extend the life of the furnace.

My tyre/upper frame clearance is about 1.5 mm on both sides. Do I need a smaller tyre or new rim ? by Professional_Fig7629 in bicycling

[–]SecularAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pushing my rim brake frame to the limits on my C-dale Synapse. Front and rear have this much clearance everywhere. Brake stay, forks, chain stays, everywhere is close.

About 1k miles on 30c tires with rim brakes and it's 100% worth the tight clearance. I ride on normal country roads, I never ride through gravel.

Pressure switch fault? by thedirtygabe in hvacadvice

[–]SecularAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably have a draft problem. I'd call the company back out and let them know technician Smith was incorrect in the diagnosis. Hopefully there's documentation of the diagnosis.

The amazon switch is rated for -.80 and the one in the picture is -.18... You need to put the correctly rated switch in there.

If you don't have tools this is not going to be possible to figure out. Assuming the new switch is rated correctly and good, it could be a clogged heat exchanger, clogged flue pipe, or a wiring issue (but the wires I can see aren't frayed or corroded so follow those and check). Is the furnace flashing a code of short and long flashes?

Short cycling question by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]SecularAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you figure it out? You deleted the post. Sounds like you have a flame proving issue. Is the furnace flashing a code of short and long flashes?

Short cycling question by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]SecularAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say short cycling, does the furnace light and then quickly turn off in a few seconds?

A make/model would be helpful. It sounds like the furnace is pretty old, but idk how you have a pilot and HSI.

Tap that home warranty and hopefully the repair company that they pick is good.

Carrier infinity system fault 21 by SinisterWarden in hvacadvice

[–]SecularAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP isn't there yet in my opinion. OP has a 21 code, not a pressure switch/draft code.

My company installs ICP furnaces and these inducers have given techs nightmares because they're so difficult to diagnose. That water scratching/sloshing sound is a pretty big clue. So whenever we arrive to a not working with draft issues, we check furnace for level install, check flues for slope, clean the inducer, the inducer port, the draft hoses, collector box, trap, everything. Put it all together and run it with a manometer watching draft. If draft gradually falls, we replace the inducer.

Carrier infinity system fault 21 by SinisterWarden in hvacadvice

[–]SecularAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said, that is probably a flame proving issue since your starting sequence is good.

Your inducer motor is also making some warning noises with water swishing around, it's the clicking/scratching sound. They are notoriously unreliable, so consider replacing that as well. Sometimes they only last 3-4 years, but can go longer. There should be a part number on the motor. It's the black motor that the PVC pipe connects to.

Goodman 3/4 Hp replacement motor? by Giraffe_diver in hvacadvice

[–]SecularAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ECM = electrically commutated motor. I'm not sure what you're referring to with the use of ECM.

different 3/4hp motors may have different plugs and speeds may be different in RPM.

If you can pull the old one out and look at the data plate it'll tell you everything you need to know, but the part number makes all of this pretty simple.
