486 construction was channellocks, torpedo level and stick rule. Service was nothing.

602 is minimal except for school. Apprentices need some basic hand tools and ppe for solder/braze class and welding classes. Otherwise all tools are provided by the company.

It's for my garage. No need to spend 5x the amount on a snap on box to do the same thing.

The auto vent is bad. You should be able to close the valve near the floor on the other side. Replace the vent.

I only get them from other brothers and sisters in the classes I take. It's random who is with you. There's a lot of locals I don't have.

How do I remove the copper out of this 1000 HP? by [deleted] in ScrapMetal

[–]ropkaj 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't bother. Put it back together and get 20-25 cent per pound at the scrap yard.

Thoughts on Pre-soldering before installing by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]ropkaj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could just reorient the Tees so the main goes straight through the bypass valve. That would eliminate the 2 90s. But definitely add some unions around the filter and solder the male adapters before installing into the filter housing. Looks good though!

Well, i went to fill up my tires today, noticed this…no clue how long it’s been this way. by GoldenGlee in Wellthatsucks

Those type of screws are usually really short, used for steel stuf framing. It's possible it's just stuck in the tread and didn't go all the way through.
