1/2" or 3/8 ?? I want to make a 4' loop and pull at least 50 lbs constant pressure. Which would you recommend. I will need a handful of these loops.

3/8 should work fine, if you want more piece of mind, use the 1/2 cord. I am amazed at the strength of the 3/8 red cord.

Excellent. I have welded 3/8 successfully, but I am a long time experienced welder and know how to make the most of the heat. Welds 1/4" easily. It will blow through the 24 or 22 gauge on highest setting if you're not careful.

Depends on your weight load and what you're fastening to. I used four 3/4" #8 wood screws with a #8 washer when going into 3/4" plywood for a lumber cart, pushing about 200 pounds. Wouldn't use anything smaller. Would recommend a #10 3/4" if you have it.

I used the recommended 3/16" wire. It worked great. I cannot say for sure the sleeve will clamp tight on the 1/8" wire, but having just installed mine in the last couple of weeks my gut feeling is it will. I read a review prior to purchasing my kit where the installer said he used 1/8" wire instead of 3/16". Hope that helps!

If this is the 18ga nailer, then 1"-2" is what I usually use. You might get 5/8" or 3/4" also.

OK... but isn't the reality of it that the I.D. of a 1/4" fitting (which by the way is the PIPE THREAD size of the fitting, not the inner size) roughly the same as that of a 3/8" air hose? Yes, it is.Then, take a look at the inside diameter of the standard AIR FITTING... pretty small, isn't it? Bottom line is this: For the very short time that the air is passing through the smaller diameter air fitting, the pressure drop across that fitting is negligible.

The 1 or 2 inch will work fine. I took 2 pieces of 1 inch pipe, straight ends, taped them together with this, and after 10 minutes did pull-up with the pipe and I weigh 250 pounds. This is awesome stuff, just follow the direction

It might work, but it depends on the rubber line's inside diameter. 3/4 inch would probably work fine. 1/2 inch would probably run the generator but you might find it "starved" under heavy load conditions.

My personal experiences are with a 3/8" synthetic. I can't say with certainty, but according to the description on Amazon you're good.

Lynn - You could use the 3/8 rope, but the weak link will then be the rope. The pulley is rated at 8,000 lbs. You will be lucky to get a few hundred pounds with 3/8 rope. If strength is not a significant concern the rope should work just fine. Good luck.

I used 3/4" pvc pipe, very good, powerful pumping as long as installing according to instructions provided.no problem at all.

That's a pretty small profile on 1/4 tape, but I have used 1/2 in with no problem. It saves so much time I would give ita shot, good luck.

I would suggest the 10" because the OD is the important dimension, once its squeezed down it will become 10 3/8".

Depends on "home" use. Driving lag bolts, screws (with an adapter), under hood work on your car the 3/8 is fine. Doing your own tire rotations then I would recommend the 1/2 drive

Up to 7/16" use a 3/8 shank. 1/2 and 9/16 use 1/2" shank. 5/8 and 11/16 use a 5/8" shank. 3/4 uses a 3/4" shank.

I used 1/2" pipe for everything and had no problems at all. This is a great product.

Strictly speaking as an amateur: 3/4" pipe is fine for an average household fun. Be sure to use the gas-type pipe thread tape or liquid sealer, and check for leaks. Believe the unit comes with a standard 110VAC plug, and that is low amperage. Unit works like a champ and the Takagi folks I communicated with were very helpful. Be sure the exhaust vents properly so that you have no (odorless) CO accumulation!
