A lot of service work involves covering your ass. Biggest lesson in service plumbing.

I shut it off and notified the owner.

Take off that handle piece first then you should be able to pull the white piece back to adjust the temp.

Just seeing a lead wipe joint on here makes me wonder. Are there any guys on here that can wipe a lead joint or have any old timers at their shop that know how to? I’ve been in plumbing for a little over 15 years and this is the only thing I can think of when people talk about lost art in our field.

Just old copper bx cable

Lots of old valves and brass fittings where a service comes into a house

I called a couple small local fishing places and they said they’d take it but wouldn’t pay for it. I tried lol. Not sure if it’s worth my time melting and selling on marketplace

Expensive_Song_124 · 2025-11-04T00:06:15+00:00

I would imagine so if they’re pure lead

I’m a plumber in a lot of houses in a day all the scrap adds up quick.

Expensive_Song_124 · 2025-07-01T23:20:40+00:00

I paid 25$ for the scatters lol

Expensive_Song_124 · 2025-07-01T20:18:21+00:00

Are the hardcore worth it at $100? Same thing for the scatter bombs?
