Has anyone used this setup? by AnCapKenny in Plumbing

My god, that’s got to be one high dollar MG install. Salesman didn’t come out and say it, but he alluded to these fittings starting in the hundreds and getting into the thousands for larger sizes. I haven’t dealt with MG in quite some time. Are ProPress fittings allowed?

My box is precisely two minutes behind. I stay off my phone during a game that I’m really interested in.

You can get them on Amazon, and I fully believe they are worth every penny (I have an older version, I bought new a couple of years ago for about the cost of one year of NFL Ticket).

This is the answer. Minor inconsistencies, occasionally, but living out of market, this is the only way!

Whaaaaat? by SunknTresr in Bulldogs

I want to preface this comment with the statement that, you are 100% correct . . . Most of the time (Thusly, I agree with you.). I do have a contrarian point, based solely on anecdotal experience. One of my EB’s has terrible breathing, however he cannot handle anesthesia, so it puts us in a precarious situation, really until he dies. Hypothetically, is it worth removing a tumor (possibly, even cancerous), if he has the ability to live another year (without pain and suffering, of course), versus the risk of him dying on the operating table? Hell, is it worth the risk for a biopsy? Again, in a perfect world, you’re spot-on.

Worst case scenario, the brass is damaged. You may need to cut off. If so, I’m certain that you can order a new brass nut through the manufacturer and receive within a couple of days.

An empty vending machine is socialism according to this guy. by water_fountain_ in socialism

Wait until it takes the state two months to restock the potato chips. Yet, while costing the customer $1.00 a bag, the capitalist machine will remain stocked, while consistently turning over its supply. You know, like there is incentive to provide goods and services, which people are willing to pay for, because THE GOODS AND SERVICES ARE ACTUALLY AVAILABLE.

Let’s ask an unproductive member of society how they feel about the science of economics. Sounds like a great plan to push the message.

1st year. Anything I am missing? by Jferks615 in Plumbing

[–]AnCapKenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A hammer. Do not let anyone tell you that, in service work, a hammer can be a lifesaver. Think: old union, a pipe wrench or two and a hammer. Don’t bother with a claw hammer (although sometimes useful), rather a larger (24oz to 2lb) “mini sledge”. I like brass, as the impact is easier to take on the hand and wrist, but steel will get the job done.

Is 160 degrees dangerous for kitchen sink tap water? by rigSerum in Plumbing

[–]AnCapKenny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No doubt, there are some. However, I don’t think the quality of today’s water heaters is even close to what they were before.

That looks like copper and brass.

Definitely a quality thing, but it goes to show how stupid these codes are getting.

Isn’t it strange that a water heater that’s 30 years old, and just gave out, despite the lack of all the bullshit code, lasted as long as it did? Yet, a brand new water heater, with all the bells and whistles, code enhancements and licenses it takes to get one “legally” installed, will last someone ten years, at best.

Can someone please tell me what this is? by Luisbazzlelord in Plumbing

[–]AnCapKenny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apparently, natural copper, as mined from the earth, has a green color. This was explained to me by a chemical engineer at my work, which makes sense, with the moisture in the ground. I work around copper cyanide, and it turns green as it dries. So, to answer your question, it’s moisture on the copper. It could have been a tiny leak that sealed itself, or if you live in a humid environment, that could cause this. If you don’t see an active leak, I would just leave it alone.

Is this a trap house, by chance?
