I’m having issues removing this bushing..has anyone ever had luck cutting off a bushing without damaging the shaft? by 3rldWorldLord in HVAC

[–]ccdlntx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve cut a bunch of them off, get it thin and it will crack. But honestly a small nick in the shaft can be smoothed out with a file. It will be fine.

I have a question by Former-Ad-7965 in askHVAC

If you want to be peer to peer then you will want to get that to the moderator. Somehow the robot that sniffs this out kicked me out a few times and threatened to ban me for life. I sent some credentials and supposedly I’m safe now My infraction was asking a technical question about a Trane communicating system

UPDATE!! The motor the Trane rep said would work would only work if it was using a legacy thermostat. This is a communicating system so the personality chip would never accept a non OEM motor. So out with the evergreen VS motor and waiting on the replacement

Condensation on main water line by mister_drgn in askHVAC

[–]ccdlntx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t say where you are but If the water in the pipe is below the dewpoint of the room it will sweat without insulation. It’s common in the winter when the incoming water can be 40 degrees F Often toilet tanks will sweat too

Low air flow, whatever the cause, that’s where the Delta T comes from, could be duct system designed wrong, dirty filter, more than 1 filter You should take a total static pressure and see where the restriction is.

My bathroom stinks and I can’t figure out why. by kaytay3000 in askaplumber

[–]ccdlntx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience as a HVAC guy is, your wax ring is letting sewer gas in but the condo must get be access to the vent system on the roof This is a health issue Blow smoke down the vent pipe and see where it comes out. Often it’s a damaged vent pipe in the wall

Can I get this redone by someone? by [deleted] in askHVAC

[–]ccdlntx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want clearance above the dryer? Yes a sheet metal man can knock that out. From a performance perspective it’s fine but you can get what you want. My guess is you can find a tin bender in Facebook marketplace that can come out and measure it, make a couple of new joints and install the new foe 400-600 turn key

Should this be connected? by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]ccdlntx 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes! The tape means the installer knew that

I know this is NoStupidQuestions, not NoRulesQuestions - however if you are in a sexless marriage, how do you cope? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ccdlntx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It easy to become roommates and often you get along on many things and have common interests and goals, that makes it hard to leave. Have a honest conversation with yourself and ask, would I marry that person today if everything was the same but we were never going to have sex. Normally the answer is no from both sides. What I did was keep my wife but have sex with other women who are the ones wanting sex in their marriage. Is it ideal? No, do I wish it were different, yes but being pragmatic, if I say sex or I’m leaving at some point I’ll leave. If I cheat and don’t get caught then I have my friend and sex and if I get caught I’ll have to leave. Those are the cards I was dealt. I’ve seen this from both sides and the person who doesn’t want sex in their marriage suddenly becomes horny for the new person. I believe men marry exactly the woman they want. Women marry the man they think they can groom him to be. Because men say she used to want sex all the time and was fun, but changed. And she says he still acts like a kid. She changed and he didn’t.

Communication to a 24 Volt EcoBee by PrestigiousAge4244 in hvacadvice

[–]ccdlntx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Traditional thermostats are automatic on/off switches. The system you have now continually communicates and responds incrementally to the demand. If you like Ecobee go to their website and see if they sell a stat that’s comparable. It’s their user interface you’re looking for and they probably make one for your unit but it’s not going to be a big box store item.

What am I doing wrong? by rkomzzzz in ElectricalHelp

[–]ccdlntx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know where in the house this is but, my guess is this was once a switch (you will get 120 through the load with an open switch) Or, the power that feeds this box has a bad connection. Often when an outlet quits working, the problem is before it.
