What else can I help you with?
When mounting a meter base to a pole what kind of bracket do you use?
I generally use four pieces of "unistrut" to make a mounting bracket. I attach the unistrut to the pole using either lag screws or strap. It needs to be secure.
What is Kindorf?
It's prety much the same as unistrut to my knowledge. It's a perforated metal beam used for mounting electrical components usually.
Can conduit be supported by another conduit with unisturt?
Yes, conduit can be supported by another conduit using Unistrut. This method involves securely attaching the conduits to the Unistrut framework, ensuring that they are properly aligned and supported. It's important to follow local electrical codes and guidelines for spacing and support requirements to ensure safety and compliance. Always use appropriate fittings and fasteners to maintain structural integrity.
What are the benefits of using Stainless Steel Unistrut?
Stainless Steel Unistrut offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for use in harsh environments such as marine, chemical, and outdoor applications. It is strong, durable, and easy to install, allowing for flexible support systems in electrical, plumbing, and mechanical projects. Its low maintenance requirements and long service life also make it a cost-effective choice. Robexstrut provides high-quality Stainless Steel Unistrut solutions designed for reliability and performance. With precision manufacturing and a focus on durability, These products ensure secure and efficient installations across various industries, making them a trusted choice for modern infrastructure needs.
Where can someone find galvanized unistrut?
In appliance stores, hardware stores, or workshops. Home Depot or car repair shops may be places to start. Machine shops may offer shipping or home repair services as well.
Can electrical panel be hung by conduit?
A bad idea. That would be against the electrical code and the manufactures specifications.Another answer:Agreed. Only use approved structural material to hang an electrical panel. If you need to hang it away from an existing wall, use Unistrut.
Why is stainless steel preferred over regular steel in Unistrut channels?
Stainless steel is preferred over regular steel in Unistrut channels mainly because of its superior corrosion resistance and durability. In environments where moisture, chemicals, or outdoor exposure are common, regular steel tends to rust over time, which can weaken the structure and lead to higher maintenance. Stainless steel forms a natural protective layer that prevents corrosion, making it ideal for long-term use in harsh conditions such as industrial plants, coastal areas, and outdoor installations. Another important reason is its low maintenance and long service life. Stainless steel channels maintain their strength and finish without the need for frequent coatings or replacements, which makes them more cost-effective over time. They also handle temperature variations well and provide reliable structural support for electrical and mechanical systems. Manufacturers like Robexstrut emphasize the use of stainless steel Unistrut channels in applications where strength, hygiene, and resistance to environmental damage are essential.
Can you use uni strut as anchorage point for a fall protection connector?
An anchor point should be able to support a 5000 lb load, or twice the max anticipated load in a fall. For the average worker wearing a harness and shock absorbing lanyard, that is around 950 lbs. Most unistrut framing members are not designed to support that load. Bad idea.
How do you remove a crankshaft pulley from a 1993 Toyota Corolla?
This reply will begin by letting you know there is a lot more info about Timing belt issues included in this response. If you are removing the crank pulley, use this extra info as well. The way to remove the pulley is with a special tool called a "crankshaft pulley puller" available for rent or purchase from auto parts stores ($20-30). There are two bolts you thread into the two holes (10 mm?) in the spokes of the pulley, then the large center bolt is tightened against the crankshaft (protect the crank threads if necessary) until the pulley slides off. You can also use a three-jaw gear puller, which is commonly available, but requires a bit more skill and caution to avoid damage to the pulley. Clearance may be an issue with a large puller. That being said, the most challenging thing is getting the bolt loose that holds on the pulley. It is tightened to a torque of 87 footpounds or so and isn't going to just loosen up easily. This is accomplished with an air or electric impact wrench and a 17 mm impact socket. If you do not have an impact wrench, you can use a large strap wrench (not a pipe wrench or other tool that could damage the pulley) to hold the pulley (all other belts need to be off for this) while countering the breaker bar and 17 mm socket (highly suggest 1/2" drive). I just did one of these today using a large U-bolt over the pulley (well padded to protect grooves) tightened to a two foot piece of slotted Unistrut. The U-bolt was for 5" pipe, therefore it had an open span of 5 and 5/8". The pulley is just under 5 and 1/2", so this was perfect. You could also use a two-hole strap for 5" conduit or Iron pipe bolted with lag bots to a 2x4. Either way yields a tool that is shaped like the letter "P" and you just let the tail of the "P" rest against some sturdy engine or body component while you use two hands on the breaker bar. After removing the pulley, CAREFULLY INSPECT THE TIMING BELT SPROCKET BEHIND THE BELT GUIDE. It can be failing by slipping on the crank and causing timing problems. If there is ANY play in it, REPLACE IT! (You may have to order this from a Toyota dealer. When I needed one, it was not in common stock). Install new timing belt tensioner and belt on sprocket with Crankshaft and camshaft(s) properly aligned. Tension belt properly, double check alignment. Install belt guide on crankshaft, then pulley. When reinstalling the pulley, be careful not to damage it with a hammer. use a block of wood across the face to protect the pulley as you coax it into place by tapping. Torque bolt to spec. Hope this helps!
