If you ask the right question you may get some very interesting greentexts.

If you ask a new question you will get new greentexts.

Also general plumbing advice.

What's the strangest thing you've snaked out of a drain?..I don't mean disgusting but plain weird.

Spoons.

Fucking spoons.

And here's the weirdest part.

It was at a little old lady's place, no grandchildren, no nothing, not the type to just dump spoons down a fucking drain.

Pulled 12 of the bastards.

OK, by 60 year old 3phase 415V instant hot water system only puts out warm water instead of hot.

Previous to this it was hot.

Now only warm.

What do?

Restrict the flow to the water inlet.

This is gay

Nope - then the heater doesn't activate.

OP is a fag.

I said restrict it not shut it off you fucking loser.

Don't ask questions if you don't want the answer.

Be fucked if there was ever an electric instantaneous 60 years ago anyways, you lame troll.

I was helping you out on the suspicion that you may have had a unit and been in need of help.

Sadly, you're just another lame faggot.

Shower won't drain, nothing obvious blocking it, have used crystals several timeS

How many dicks did u suck for full licence?

Do u enjoy the smell of shit?

How many times can I shit down shower drain before it gets fucked

Ok, chances are it's an old waste, such as galvanised iron, you may need to use "Moflo" or some acidic equivalent for whatever country you're from.

Wear gloves, glasses, respirator. Shit is nasty. Do not let it touch anything outside the drain grate.

If you use black iron for water lines, would it kill you? Also another plumber advised me to never use gate valves; good advice?

I don't suck dicks, I leave that to the carpenters.

No.

Ever stuck that drain whacker thing up your ass?

Thank you!

How do i keep my threaded pipe joints from FUCKING LEAKING? Every single threaded fitting i touch leaks, regardless of what tape, cement, whatever i do. Leaks. Leaks all the time.

Once.

Black iron is generally used for industrial shit where it's non drinkable. Things like radiators and steam pipe. Shit rusts up on the inside pretty consistently without actually rusting through. I'd avoid it.

As for gate valves, there's really nothing wrong with them other than the fact they don't have any backflow protection.

Quarter turn ball valves are the new equivalent, they shut off quickly, they don't take multiple twists to turn on or off, and they are about the same price, so the gate valves are a bit outdated, but still fine to use.

I just moved into a 100-year-old rental. I sometimes smell sewage from the drains, mostly the bathroom, sometimes the kitchen. Mostly when I first run the water in the morning, but sometimes it just smells.

Also, all repairs around here are done by the owner's "Uncle Fernando", who is not actually related to the landlord, and is not actually useful for anything. Last time I called him, he left a used stove in my back yard.

Nastiest shit you've ever seen?

You're welcome.

Also make sure drain is "dry" before pouring that stuff down. It reacts with water, so make sure the drain is empty as possible before dropping it down. Don't top it up with water for an hour or it can surge back up the plughole.

Fantastic tits btw, thanks. :D

A plumber once told me to avoid putting anything down the garbage disposal. Do you put food down yours?

Ever fucked a customer?

>made up story incoming

No, dumbarse.

It's the amount of teflon you use. I generally go with 14 wraps.

Or you can use "Loctite 55" which I find tends to work on everything except hot water units.

Got a two questions for you.

Do the drains gurgle after you use them. Like a sucking bubbling sound?

Do you have a drain in the floor of the bathroom?

Didn't fucking rock up to work the next day either. The boss did not complain.

Naturally my return to work was met by a lot of cheesy bastard grins by all the boys, and the usual rounds of ribbings.

Bastards.

No, fucked a fellow worker once, but never a customer.

Did however come damn close one time.

Forgot the tits.

Oh thanks!

Look to be honest the only thing I've got left if those two things aren't working, is the drains must be so old and caked that they've just got a continuous hold of stagnant water in them. Try running some moflo acid down the drain, instructions in thread.

Otherwise, your pipes are siphoning out the "water seal" which is the water that always sits at the bottom of your sink waste (p trap). It's designed to block smells from coming from the drain through to your house.

Fucking hate gate valves.
I work maintenance in a ten year old apartment complex in downtown LA and the cheap fuckers uses gate valves for all of the shutoffs and it's they were obviously never exercised so when we need to do a repair we can't shut off the gate valve in the apt so we have to shut off the entire stack and god forbid if that's controlled by a fucking gate valve because now you might have to shut off the entire building just to replace a cartridge on a sink faucet with a gate valve that won't close

why did you choose such a shitty trade
should have been a pipefitter

Don't care if story is bullshit or not. Just want more.
Also, Australia, meaning you probably wouldn't know whether to use 3/4" or whatever...

You're probably threading them counter clockwise too haha

i think my water heater is leaking, what do? i have standing water in my basement intermitently and i hav e a dehu down therre

And the worst part is, when you shut off the stack and recommend changing over a few gate valves while the stack is shut off, the cheap cunts won't agree to it because it costs money.

Yep, I hear you fellow plumber.

Yeah right. Should have learned 1/30th of my trade rather than a whole trade.

Try harder faggot.

Story is 100% true.

Also, yeah, we do use 3/4, 1/2 etc. That's a blow over from the old days when everything was imperial. All the old timers still say it, I do too 'cause I was trained under an old timer.

Stupid part is it's only the water pipe we say that for. For the waste pipe it's all in millimetres. Go figure.

If it's leaking from the tank, it's fucked mate. No hope.

If it's leaking from a side valve, worry not, it's designed to. Expansion/overtemp valve. Will piss water now and then when it's heating.

Start saving for a new one just in case.

Also install some sort of sump pump for your basement to fix the standing water.

Heh, I only did that a few times before coming to the conclusion that clockwise was better, However I just can't avoid some of these leaks. The house is about 40 years old, and a lot of the pipes were made out of some kind of iron, which has since rusted nearly shut in some sections.

Op doesnt agree but fuck that garbage disposals are awesome I put all kinds of fruit, vegetable and other waste down there and havnt had one break in 14 years. Living in two different houses.

The company that owns the building considered it for a while, got a bid and it was well over $100,000 to replace every gate valve with ball valves, that's....well over 90 valves so they noped the Fuck out and said deal with it. I'm glad I'm leaving the company in two weeks and learning to become an electrician

Alright brave user's, I'm off to bed now.

Plum/b/user signing out.

The unit needs a certain amount of flow before it activates you fucking first year apprentice fraud.

Are you saying there wasn't instantaneous electric hot water in 1955? Further do you imbly there wasn't 3phase in 1955?

You haven't helped at all. Stick to doing the lunch run.

I'll tell you right now, faggot, there are a systematic run of things you could do RIGHT NOW to check what's causing this.

But you were stupid enough to abuse the one person who could help you, so now you can fucking PAY a plumber to fix it fag.

Suck shit dickhead. Next time think before abusing the person who is trying to help you.

You are fucking amazing user, Aussies fucking rule

Funny how I've never had my disposal jam or clog or anything but I go into the same unit over and over because they either emptied an entire casserole down it or emptied a bowl of rice down it and you tell them time after time and they don't get it...these people are fucking doctors and surgeons and lawyers and they can't learn something so simple it boggles the fucking mind

pipefitting usually encompasses at least a few trades worth of knowledge, including plumbing, you make better money and don't spend your life wallowing in other people's waste.
you fucked up mate.
to dumb it down to something a plumber can understand:
youtube.com/watch?v=5OwCSRuw1Lw

O dont see the prob with them.. use them once in a while spray some penetrative oil on them. And if they fail.. repack the string.. they work fine.

I dont put uncooked rice in but yeah ill put in a whole caserole rice you name it and it never breaks.. one day it might but itll be wirth it by then.. it already is.

Yeah, man. That's why I asked. I've used them for years with no problem. Recently did a kitchen remodel; when I showed the new disposal unit I wanted installed to the plumber and he proceeded to tell me to never put food down the sink, I was confused as fuck.

...

appreciate it user!!

Do you trust negro plumbers? Do they even exist?
