Brown trouser event of the day.

[Dotty]

Bloke at work had a cylinder implode on him today.



He actually shat hisself.

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

Haha did he think his time had come?

 

[Ermintrude]

What was he doing draining off 5 floors below

 

[Dotty]

By all accounts it was creaking and groaning. He put his hand on it and it went.

Didn't help that he rang me only to be told "Ooo fk! Good luck explaining that one! (Click...... Brrrrrrrrrrrrr)"

 

[Paulplumb]

Wow he did a proper job on that. On a friday too. On the bright side at least it will fit in the van nicely

 

[Rickster123]

Nice bit of scrap for a Friday tho!

 

[IDCHAPPY]

I think it's buggered...

 

[stevetheplumber]

thats not buggered stick a main in it blow it back out

 

[Rickster123]

thats not buggered stick a main in it blow it back out

And link a few cable ties together to reattach the lagging. Nobody would ever know!

 

[kris]

Least he won't have to pull the insulation off to get more on scrap.
Like Steves comment blow it back up ..... brilliant

 

[smtplumbing]

How does that even happen

 

[Ray Stafford]

I reckon he will take it back to his merchant, saying "It was dark when it was delivered, and I signed for it without being able to check it, but now I notice it has a couple of little dings..."

 

[Leo21]

Bo biggy just a lower content receptacle.

 

[Ray Stafford]

Bo biggy

Is that your rapper name?

 

[gassafe]

Would be good to hear what he did wrong so that we don't make the same mistake!!

 

[kris]

Maybe tried draining with no open ends,,,,

 

[Leo21]

Must've been a blocked vent somewhere along the line.

 

[Paulplumb]

Is that your rapper name?

steady Ray he might pop a cap in your a**

 

[stevetheplumber]

got to be a sealed vent and a couple of floors of hose draining it down the suction does it
cylinderes very good at positive pressure not so good on negative
wonder if you can do the same with a submarine?

Yes of course you CAN.. As long as the pressure inside is significantly lower than outside its crumple stiltsskin.. Of course I doubt you would be draining down a sub.

[wetdrip]

It's been through a black hole.
Plumbers been through a brown hole.

I'll bet he will be happy if he bought it from you Ray.

He will now become a proud member of the ' Cylinder Implosion Club '

It's a global Club and has very strict guidelines.

Do it once - admitted.
Do it again - omitted.

There's another Club - not to many members though.

Cylinder Explosion Club -

Anyone could put a hose on a cylinder before opening any taps, the vent should have saved the day I guess!?

 

[lame plumber]

I'd be wrapping the cyl with insulation, no one would notice if it dont leak

 

[Ermintrude]

Trying for the more exclusive club
