Of course Olly, I just happened to mention there is a real problem with solder flux that's gonna get dealt with in the future as flux contamination moves to the forefront. Horses just need the best. Forget the husband.

That is a spring time project and Franko you are an ol' poop. hut seriously, thanks guys I have learned a lot ( again) about how I am doing the plumbing around here in the future. Seems as though this is a trend that is worth catching on to. After a bad winter there is always a lot to do.

Well in fairness those were 3" and 4" fittings. Still pro-press fittings are expensive. A 1/2" copper T fitting is about $3.00. But they have a time and a place. If I were a commercial plumber it would be a no brainer. Pro-press is quick, no flames or burns. It can be used on copper or iron pipe for water or gas. Those are different and yes also expensive fittings.coaledsweat wrote: ↑Thu. Jan. 18, 2018 6:31 amThis is whu you don't want to get involved.

The Bombardier track was smacked with the caterpillar bucket and then three tubes of grease ..as good as new. Please Lord give me fights I can win.
I think the bread is usually used when water keeps dripping, preventing you from steaming it dry. It makes a plug that lasts long enough to make the joint, then the bread falls apart and flushes on through. Funny story, two of my sons were repairing a water main late at night. A huge plastic line broken underground, both of them are certified to weld plastic. At three AM they have it excavated and are trying to get it dried out, but the water just keeps dribbling through. My son runs over to a nearby convenience store, backs the truck up to the door, and proceeds to buy EVERY piece of bread they've got, hot dog rolls, hamburger buns, tastycakes, EVERYTHING. He is covered in mud, bleary eyed from lack of sleep and 18 hours straight on this repair. The kid at the register is just standing there, mouth hanging open, my son looks at him and says "Been partying a little, I've got the munches."freetown fred wrote: ↑Wed.

If ya have any joints that give ya trouble solderin--stick a chunk of bread inside--not sure why that works but it does--probably jus soaks up ANY stubborn moisture.
I sure miss that boy.
