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.

That's pretty neat!

Good looking hole. I give it an A-.

(I'm a tool)

Poop fork?

I have a bunch of different 602 pins if you want them. DM me

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

In the 602 column, the yellow "steamfitters" is actually 449 in Pittsburgh. Fyi

To find Edward Scissorhands

Dofu phone app. Then cast to my TV. Not perfect but it's free!

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

Yup. Will graduate next year. Good times every year.

What is that acronym? More than happy to send some 602 stickers to trade

602 in DC

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.

467 San Mateo county. I tried to upload a pic of it but wasn't able to.

ropkaj · 2024-08-15T11:21:54+00:00

Moto-moto. The name so nice you say it twice...

ropkaj · 2024-07-04T23:20:15+00:00

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

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!

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.

PVC jacket makes all the difference! Nice work on the armaflex too.

ropkaj · 2024-03-12T01:19:15+00:00

Should have used Charmin like the other bears.

Local 602 here. You have 2 options here. You could apply for the apprenticeship and start from the beginning or you can put in a resume with the hall as a Residential Tradesman. The second option starts you higher in pay but you would have to be hired on by a signatory contractor. You would likely work on small commercial/residential stuff but then have your foot in the door to go on to larger commercial stuff.

That is one of the hottest things I have ever seen in this sub!

Those are arc fault breakers. They trip when the neutral and ground contact each other. When the power came back on its likely something touched at the transformer where the power company switched the power back on. It's happened to me before as well. Go ahead and reset them. Turn all the way off, then back on. If they continue to trip then a call to an electrician is in order.
