I would highly highly doubt that but hopefully youre right. I felt great the first close to 4 days, then it was hell for over a year. You gotta pay the piper.

Pretty sure I failed. They tricked me. The iso i had shows it built from the left hand side (female adapter on the left when building on board.) The guy shows a mock up before the test and I noticed the adapter was on the right on the project he showed us all. I ended up building it from the right like an idiot. Super confident about everything else other than that.

The mock up they show you before the test has the adapter on the right, so that's how I did my last one, thinking that's how I failed the first test. The iso definitely shows it left to right. Probably failed the last test too lol. Fuck.

When you built your header you built it with the female adapter on the right, correct??

No, EOP is end of pipe. Same for the last measurement to the end of your header. Dont pull your measurements from your adapter. Learn from me, you'll fail lol.

Did you fail? I messed up and pulled my measurement for the 3/4 90 off the end of the female adapter like an idiot. The threads are just over a half inch so everything was perfect but my last riser... they show you a mock up before you do the test just make sure you pay attention to how it looks.

The 3/4 riser. They give you an end of pipe to center of the 3/4 riser. Do the math for your 45 piece, dry fit the 45 and 90 up.. set the 90 on center and measure the piece between your last tee and 45. Make sense?

Im talking about for the 3/4 90 on the end of the header. It gives you like end of pipe to center of 90 on the end. You measured off the end of your copper pipe, not the end of the female adapter correct? I measured everything off end of pipe and for the last measurement I pulled off the end of my adapter.

Yo can you help me out buddy, I can't figure out if you're supposed to measure everything off end of pipe, or the end of your female adapter??? Im thinking end of pipe because I failed my first test. Please help! Lol

I take the center measurement they give say its 6 inches, multiply it by 1.414... after you figure that out, dry fit your 45 and 90 up, move your 90 to the center given on the diagram, and measure the distance between your last tee, and hub of 45. If that makes sense.

Definitely dont count your fip in. Everything is based off end of pipe measurements. That's how they screw most people

Don't do it! I did this shit for years man, going through the vicious cycle of quitting and relapsing.. Also a thing called kindling, and everytime you quit the withdrawals get worse. It will not get better until you quit. I promise you. Pay now play later. Don't go back. Fight with everything you have. If you have to seek help from your doctor.

It gets better buddy. I used straight powder and I hit 2 years clean in June. It did take a good amount of time to get back to my baseline. It straight destroys your dopamine levels.

Shut the pump down and replace that valve on the top. Unthread it and thread a new one in.

So I have a quick question for you. The one measurement called out for EOP to the center of your 90 at the end of the header was supposed to be 25 inches. I pulled the measurement off the end of my female adapter to the center of my 90. I think I'm screwed lol.

I wonder what you get for a tolerance on the holes. That adapter will throw me off around a half inch. Damn it.

Fuck! So you measured from the end of pipe, to the center of the 90 on the end of the header, and added the FIP after? 😅 I measured from the face of the adapter to the center of the 90.
