As I mentioned in another post, I am getting ready to glue/tape/staple/baling wire together a splitter. I am going to run a 5" x 30" cylinder, a 22 gpm pump, and it will be vertical.
Will a 6" H or I beam be adequate? Or will an 8" be better or overkill?
Between a H and I beam, which would be better?
Would you put 1/2" plate on the face of the 6"? On the 8"?
What about using a solid, heavy walled tubing- say 4"x4" or 4"x6" with a "sleeve" the wedge is mounted to and slides on the main tube?
Example of the tubing and wedge "sleeve".
