    Melted CPVC (jalcoplumb)

    I am again deployed overseas. Here is a picture of a cpvc pipe that melted and burst. The temperature was extreme. The electric water heater thermostat malfunctioned and the water was steaming. The pressure relief dripped.

    The water heaters over here are small 20 gal wall hung electric heaters. They have a combination pressure relief/check valve on the inlet. (see photo DSCF0258.jpg) They inlet and outlets of the tanks are hooked up with standard 3/8” stainless steel flexible faucet connectors. There is a standard ½” chrome angle valve between the pipe and the faucet connectors. It is a scary situation. This is SOP over here in the Middle East.

    If you look at the CPVC tee, someone tried to glue it to the existing P-PE heat fusion pipe. The only reason the joint didn’t fail was that it was strapped tight. I pulled the pipe out with little effort.

    What's up my Iraqi Friend?

    Hey at least you're not picking shrapnel out of your behind(I Hope!!). Are you back in Iraq now? Chuck Powers (bullpen) is back over in Baghdad. Is that where you are? Stay well my friend. Maybe we could send you some solar thermal equipment to make that hot water for the cadillacs. The generators wouldn't scream so loud!!! HA!! Let me know if you need anything. Of course nothing that violates General Order 1A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    STAY SAFE!
