    Portable A/C doesn't seem to be making the advertised 12,000 BTUs

    I bought this to replace my 8,000 BTU window unit because I thought it would look nicer. Haier-12-000-BTU-Heat-and-Cool-Portable-Air-Conditioner-with-Dehumidifier-HPC12XHR I doesn't cool anywhere near as good as the window unit. I got it cheap because it didn't have the accessory kit, so I...

    Galvanized pipe for gas supply?

    I need 1 more inch of black pipe and I couldn't find the right combo of black pipe. So I settled on 2 pieces of galvanized. I read that the issue would be flaking. Can I get away with cleaning, wire brushing the inside? Raising the heater isn't an option because the vent pipe will be too high.

    Crimp in original thermocouple line. Does this serve a purpose?

    I replaced the thermo couple and lit pilot. On my old AO Smith (pre-lowes) water heater. Stayed on for a day, but went out. I was looking up the model number on the pictures I took and noticed the thermocouple I replaced had a crimp in the line.
