Is there a pressure reducing valve (PRV)? My place had terrible pressure and a noticeable PSI drop from the street to the house. Idiot builders direct buried the valve (i.e. no valve box). The valve had failed, which resulted in a huge drop in pressure. However, if you don't know it's there, you don't know you need to replace it (see no valve box portion of post).
Dang. Can you get street pressure and pressure as it comes in, along with tank pressure? Is your water usage high? Pressure drops can be restrictions or leaks, or both! Sounds like its time to fuck around and find out!
It's a scientific fact that airports do not exist in a dimension where time flows as we recognize it. As such, it is socially permissable to drink and any given moment, regardless of whatever "time" it may appear to be.No I was on the beast coast for a day, soon to be sitting in a chair in the sky.
Q: Is it too early for a beer?
A1. No
A2. No, but in red.
When I lived on the coast, my apartment was at the bottom of a very steep hill which upon sat the water tower. That place had water pressure that felt like you were being pressure washed. I know correlation /= causation and I'm definitely no engineer, but god damn do I wish I could get water pressure like that everywhere.No such thing. House is 112 years old, and it is pretty safe to say the water infrastructure is equally as old. There is a non pressurized antique cast iron water tank down the street. Pretty sure any water pressure I get is just based on the height of that thing.

you stuck in the autocad sweatshop today too?Currently waiting for a 530,000 KB .dwg file to load....
Yep. In theory, I should be keeping others busy with drafting assignments, but the reality of our workload and current drafting staff capabilities means that I spend most of my time drawing.you stuck in the autocad sweatshop today too?
So long as it means people won't talk to you, that sounds like a win.Yep. In theory, I should be keeping others busy with drafting assignments, but the reality of our workload and current drafting staff capabilities means that I spend most of my time drawing.
nope. DC.Were you in NYC and didn't give me a call to meet up for a beer?
It's great in the short term for the reasons you mentioned. Not so great in the long term. Does make for an excellent Friday, though.So long as it means people won't talk to you, that sounds like a win.
Says the guy who just found out a part is no longer available, no known alternates have been identified, and production already ran out of them and is shut down because of it.
This should take care of that
I wish I could get water pressure like that everywhere.
Got it, lobbyist for big ear cancer.nope. DC.
I'm a businessman, doing business.
I'm not the whining biatch and have no intention of becoming one, and he does good job otherwise.You have to?
I had to install a pressure valve in our house because the pressure was quite a bit above the recommendation for residential service (90psi IIRC measured out at a hose bib).<snip>

Ahhh... the joys of... something.Repeated calls this and last week: "I can't give my boss a retirement date until I talk to you. I have to talk to you.
"Sorry I was out last week. I'm available [1hr window Wed] and then not until Friday"
Wednesday after window: "sounds great, my number is #."
"That was only for this morning. I'm now only available Friday for [1hr slot]"
"Great. We'll talk then"
Today: "I have an appt at [in 1hr block]. I'm available after [end of block].
"I'm sorry, but I'm not available then. I have time Tuesday [2hr block] or Friday [2hr block]"
"Why aren't you calling me? I can't retire until we talk!!!"
"Uh..."
Planning to retire for 6mos. Didn't hear from them until days before they need to file a date.
You sure as shit won't be going for the scenery.Wondering if I should take a speaking gig in Farmington.......

Had to stick my head in here today.
Sorry westy, trigger warning.
The frequency converters I had to work on while at Nosler were an absolute mess compared to that panel.Had to stick my head in here today.
Sorry westy, trigger warning.
Our panels had a grounding buss bar that ran directly behind the entire width of the panel, granted you had to go through the panel to ground it but it made for short runs and easy terminations with a self-tapper.Not a fan of that grounding strategy.
I think thats how this is done - though really I have no idea what that mumbo jumbo is, but there is a long copper (?) bar at the bottom with the grounding straps going to it? I'm just a computer guyOur panels had a grounding buss bar that ran directly behind the entire width of the panel, granted you had to go through the panel to ground it but it made for short runs and easy terminations with a self-tapper.
Dedicated grounding bars are much better than using the back panel as a grounding bar. As a lot of devices have grounded metal cases so you could be generating a ground loop, and those are high current high frequency drives that will radiate a lot of noise.Our panels had a grounding buss bar that ran directly behind the entire width of the panel, granted you had to go through the panel to ground it but it made for short runs and easy terminations with a self-tapper.
I would assume they do it for mobility and have a common ground for the outside of the housing or machine cabinet. Ours were all freestanding and mobile, bout the only thing I can think ofDedicated grounding bars are much better than using the back panel as a grounding bar.

That would most likely be a pressure regulator...I had to install a pressure valve in our house because the pressure was quite a bit above the recommendation for residential service (90psi IIRC measured out at a hose bib).
I believe you are correct, Captain Pedant! Just like this:That would most likely be a pressure regulator...
Man, compared to the average aircraft electrical panel that thing is a Monet. I can't even imagine have that kind of tidiness and access.
