Depends on what else in the van is smelly I guess.
Only a tin of stag that smells lovely !
There must be times RPM when you smell like a Plumber ?
Me too. 2" is to big for meYeh mate done my share and i dont miss one bit busting ya bs on a pair of 36,s or chains happy to stick to domestic now leave it to the youngsters
Screwed pipework has now taken a back seat as it to labour intensive , and costly crimp is the way its going carbon steel , copper ,stainless , pex theres a system for them all Gerberit and yorkshire are just the main ones regards kop
Or sooner if you drain and fill the syatem alot!Only use carbon steel press on a sealed system else you will have it rotting through in about 5 years
my van almost always smells of kero these days [/QUOTE
I burn it off. ( if it's in my oil catching baking tray) then it doesn't stink mi van out.
When i worked on commercial projects its all we used the council and health authorities would not allow hotwork after a team of roofers burnt a school down in norfolk .
just for my own interest this.
I've always jointed screwed iron on heating systems with hemp and paste (boss white, green, jet blue, blah blah) but I worked with a guy recently that was running hemp onto the thread as normal but then adding a couple of wraps of PTFE, no paste.
I've never come across this before, anyone been taught to do it this way ?
I just wondered if anyone remembers a liquid jointing paste called heldite we used to put this on with hemp black or dark brown horribly sticky stuff but never any leaks mind you couldn't get apart very easily if you needed to .
