You have no idea how excited I am to hide more tacoma parts from the wife


You're dead nuts on that second part, I'm extremely excited at the prospect of running my own warehouse should we actually move back east. IMO it's better than staying in the electrical field and becoming, then topping out at, being a journeyman

 

Hahaha


After high school I took a part time job as an evening fry cook for McDonald's. Long story short I got fed up and quit one night and told the manager I'd never be back. He snidely said I had to come back to return my uniform, so I stripped down to my boxers next to the grill, threw the cloths at him and stormed out.

It is super easy to quit when you don't give a fuck about a place

 

Yeah swapping rotaries at a shop sounds better than dicking around in people's driveway to prospective employers

 

That's the only reason why I havnt picked up my toolbox at 10pm and never showed back up to where I work rn

 

Try to stick it out for at least 6 months since it's your first "legitimate" repair shop. It'll look way better on your resume

 

Those just look like high limit saftys. It just has a thermo disc that snaps out of place when it gets to hot

 

Smart, that’s exactly what they are according to Zane. They’re wired in-line with the three heating elements inside the pressure vessel. Part number lookup says they’re thermal switches.

 

What psycho would put 5.29s on an open carrier

 

Yeah its a safty. If you start to over heat it will kill the heater. And the little red button is a manual reset.

they go by many names buts it’s basically just a bimetal that warps at a set temp. We use them for all kinds of things. Your dryer has them, the Heater in your attic had them. Just about anything that heats and can cause a fire has one or atleast some kind of fuseable link

 

It's a good thing it's a well known fact that any font size under 6 is too small for the fed to read

 

Loopholes dontcha know

 

This thing is so ridiculously overengineered, the metal vessel used to heat the water has a pressure rating certification on it. Same as my air compressor.

 

Just be like my co worker and type in all caps because its hard for him to read text on a phone normally

 

Duh

 

It's a whole different world when your cruising at 30,000 feet

Yeah because it can become a bomb if you over heat it and make steam

 

The solenoids have a rating on them, 28v at 7w. Around ~0.25 amps. I set my power supply to 28v and applied voltage to it and nothing happened. I’ve been told it might need water pressure to function. They’re the old timey screw looking fuses on the left.

 

Any vessel that holds pressure has a rating and most have some kind of vent to relase pressure im cases of it getting to high.

 

Oh that might be why there’s two random lines connected to the top that go nowhere. It vents out the bottom. There are nylon lines connected to it and I’m not sure what the other three do.
