I didn't use the thread lock but I'm guessing it's to put on threads when you're connecting the base. Thanks for watching Ronnie & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
Ohh I definitely agree there as I'm from Pa, but you move down south and while working on Condensers you need something to block the sun during the summer or you'll be fried. Thanks for watching Neil 🤜🤛 👍👍
@@bariboy87 No sir I'm not sure. Sorry I never got back to you regarding that, but I don't know & they don't give any other details with it so that's a very good question.
I believe the little black knob above where you tighten the base is to help hold the umbrella in the base. Once you tighten the top knob it secures it enough that I never use the smaller knob your referring to. Atleast that's what I believe it's there for, otherwise I don't know or don't see a reason why it would be there. As for the thread lock, your guess is as good as mine. I guess if your going to put the base on it & not take if apart you can use the thread lock. But I've had the umbrella a few AC seasons now & it was a great purchase that I would definitely buy again if something ever happened to mine.

I like it, does it hold up to decent wind? I made a umbrella mount from a tip of a galvanized ground rod welded to a piece of emt conduit, so you can drive it into hard ground with your foot if needed and use a beach umbrella from Lowes in it.
So far it's been good, haven't had it in any serious wind, but I generally use it for the sun. I'm in SC so working on a AC unit during the day can be brutal
@@Carnivorefitness2024 The magnet is very strong, so it definitely wouldn't come off the unit or whatever you had it stuck to. Now would the top part flip inside out ? That's a possibility, but I see alot of hvac guys using them on roofs when working on roof top units and they don't seem to have any issues. I think that umbrella is awesome and i would definitely buy another one if something happened to mine
Good question! Nice thing about my property where all my condensers are located, we have a little 4 foot wooden fence that surrounds the condensers so i can put it on that.
I got it at Johnstone Supply. If you don't have an account there you can buy it from other hvac or tool websites like supplyhouse.com, or trutechtools.com. Thanks for watching & Subscribe to the channel 👍👍

I know its for the sun lol just wondered if a good wind would take it down, gets windy here in Florida, not sure it would hold on.

It's nice but where do you put it if a compressor has to be changed I use a beach umbrella just stick it in the ground and away I go
