Heh - might as well call it welding - is quicker to say aint it?

 

[WilBier]

planned it but the plan fell in a heap so i knocked it up as i went.

I hooled up the outlets from the vessels first then hooked them up to the inlet of the pump

them i worked on the outlet side and did it bit by bit.

I just got a new job working a 9 day fortnight............ roster day every second week hehehe

cheers

Yeah right-O, rub it in. I think I have seen one of your stubbie holders which has a calendar printed on it and different coloured squares for different days of the week. Has more coloured RDO's than coloured day's at work if I remember corectly...

Only a sparky would mount an electrical control box under a HLT.The fitter would put it in a more user friendly position.

ahhhh here we go.

have you fitters ever heard of an IP rating???

and where would you have put it?

overthe top of the kettle. thats where the fitters i work with would have put it

I didnt wantto go wider and heat rises.

It is an electric HLT and no heat got into the box from the hLT.

Yeah i bit...... i know .....but a silly poke in the ribs needs a good bite i recon

cheers

PS, Big D, you seem to have a real problem with te panel and its location.

what would you have done?

seriosly, in interested. i might be smart but i dont know everything.

cheers

 

[Tony]

oh and batz...... only a leco could build a panel like that to mount under the HLT

and i can stick, mig, tig, oxy weld, oxy cut, use a plasma cutter, i can even ues a broom ............. the list goes on.

I have worked with some great fitters over the years. better tradesmen than most leccos i have worked with. Just the ones i work with now are losers. I have seen rotted out pipes that have been "patched" several times when replacement would have taken half the time...... its sad!

just having a poke mate

cheers

 

[Tony]

how much do you pay in postage for a bag of grain Big D ?

 

[big d]

Great bite Tony.
I dont like having to bend down for something that could have been placed in a better locale so if and when i get around to building a great set up like you have done i would be more inclinded to put it over to the left or right of the kegs at a level so as not to bend down.Maybe even raise a section up to place it at a level your happy with so as not to bend down to hit a button etc.Im just thinking of ergonomics as its what is contineualy punched into us at work.

Cheers
Big D

 

[big d]

Double the price of a bag of grain and your on the mark Tony by the time you add on road and sea freight costs.Havent bought recently but i believe the sea freight cost from Darwin to here has gone up heaps.

[Tony]

must be a bugger mate. I am always looking for ways to cut back on postage. I get my old man to pick up my grain orders from MHB and i get them from him when i see him

otherwise its $1/kg average for a bag or 3 of grain.

i am only 5'10" amd 76kg. Im only a litle fella..... i have to squat down to get to the taps on the system so the panel isnt a prob
each to theit own

I have designed a bracket to hold the panel out beside the HLT as you sugeated but where it is is neat and simple and the box is watertight .

only need to make a SS shroud for the pump. waret gets in it too easy.

might do that tomorrow.

cheers

 

[big d]
