Who needs a ratchet. You don't need no stinkin' ratchet.
That is what pipe wrenches are for.

Re: New gas boiler efficiency standards how soon?
That news organization isn't known for their accurate reporting. They like to create panic for various reasons. You might want to check out other sources before making a decision.
Re: Old 1/2" copper not same 1/2" size
But we stretch the truth for for comedic effect. That is why some people have no sense of humor, they are too literal.
That is also why some folks are not mechanically inclined, They can not see things in their minds eye. they need to actually see it.
And that is why some people don't know what a quasi-vapor steam boiler looks like. They can't understand made-up words that are not in the Webster Dictionary.

Re: Old 1/2" copper not same 1/2" size
There are some very old Mattress Tag Police still alive today. You never know Chris!That patent was issued in 1936.....Just for fun, I tried the swaging method myself. I cut a piece of 1/2" copper in half, heated one end cherry red to soften, let it cool, then swaged it open to 5/8" ID using a $10 Home Depot hammer-in swaging tool. Clean and flux mating surfaces, insert the other piece of 1/2" copper, and solder together. Worked like a charm.Be very careful about what you post here. You might have just infringed on Mr Recker's Patent 2,040,628. You never know if the mattress tag police are monitoring this forum.

Re: Wiring Google Nest Power Connector to Multizone Heating
If you decide to wire it without @SteveSan's control suggestion. I might offer you this non patented device I invented called the SmokeKeeper. 
It keeps the factory installed smoke inside the transformer. Saves money on replacement transformers
And if you act now you can get two Smoke Keepers for only $29.95 plus shipping and handling of $25.00 in the 48 United States and some parts of Alaska.

Re: Its on every plumbing exam.......
Does anyone else use the ♂ and ♀ characters? Mostly on copper pressure fittings. It took awhile, but most of the guys at the counter understand what I mean now.

c x ♀ x c tee
They're quick to write down when you're in a hurry.

Re: Why You Should Always Hire A Steam Pro
Any ideas why it might be leaking steam??At least it's not trapping water!! Got to love the GC's.
Re: Why You Should Always Hire A Steam Pro
Yep... We've run into many of those.....nearly always in the most expensive areas of Chicago. General rule is the more expensive the neighborhood, the scarier the mechanicals.
