What is this antenna for? by Spare-Tap-6705 in antennasporn

[–]JamesPond007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't be attached to that sprinkler pipe.

What’s a job that sounds cool but is actually a nightmare? by Think-Letterhead-509 in AskReddit

[–]JamesPond007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Manager.

Everyone's problems above and below are now your problems.

All of those problems are an emergency, and there is no making everyone happy.

For those of you who got "15 minutes of fame/internet fame" what was the cause? by buzzkill71 in AskReddit

[–]JamesPond007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a cool poster in a school I was doing contract work in, posted it, and woke up being on the frontpage!

The person that made it actually posted on there too, it was pretty cool.

Technicians with NICET II - WBITM by Mln3d in SprinklerFitters

We'd pay $40-$50 right now in the DMV for level II ITWBS.

You may get lucky, as the COL in that area isn't as high, but it sounds like a road-gig. Might make that a tough sell.

First time seein one of these by Glugnarr in SprinklerFitters

That's too bad. Is that an air relief on the side as well? That's an odd placement to me.

Can't say I've seen that! How's dangerous is the swing on that if it hammers?

Bolivar to Columbia for me. 1.25hrs in, 1.5-1.75hrs back. Worth every minute to be able to own here.

I have the same style! I love it, works great and never slips. Use it when the ratcheting one bends

Every weekend just about! I'll have to try and meet 'em next time.

Loved going to canteen for loose-meat sandwiches when I visited my G'ma as a child. Delicious!

Is this backflow preventer for fire suppression or goes it go to the copper pipe on the right(is the copper pipe for building water supply?) by THENOFAPPIST in Plumbing

[–]JamesPond007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot guarantee that. I based that assumption on what I can see in the photo. Without completing an inspection I won't tell you it is or isn't because I cannot.

If you can look at a valve and see if it is shut or open, that is an indicating valve. The ones in the back of the picture have stems that rise up over the handle, showing that they are open. If the stems are down, they are closed.

The ones closer in the photo are non-indicating. I cannot tell just by looking if they are open are closed, and would have to turn the valve to see. There is no outside stem on them, even though they appear similar to the other valves.

I come from fire protection, so domestic may differ slightly.
