    A sanitary tee is a tee wye. The combination wye and an eighth fitting it's called a combo or combination or Combi. A copper or press fitting with a female side port is a tap tee if the female port is on the run of the tee it is a tap 90 unless the female port is 1/8 in then it is a baseboard 90 or baseboard elbow.

    Here is one tossed at me this morning- Plant electrician running rigid conduit asked me if we had any "three piece couplings".

    After he described one, I asked if he meant: a union? "YES! We call them three piece couplings!"

    What you send a new apprentice to look for when they cut the pipe too short. Pipe stretcher.

    usually kept next to the henway
    OK I'll bite

    What's a Henway?

    And do you keep both of them in the Pyecost?

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    After sending the helper to the supply house for a pipe stretcher for the pipe you cut too short, (and he figuring out he got played) don't expect him to believe there is such thing called a duct stretcher. It ain't gonna happen!


    You got to call it a duct puller together thingy
    Ask me how I know? >:)

    I seem to remember our old first plumber (Mr Bernstein), stating he had to use a “Dutchman” on some toilet reseating project, (just when I was starting out, and green). Also he called pipe dope “Honey”.
    He and the others I got to know are all gone, and I certainly miss them.—NBC

    What did he mean by a dutchman? Normally a dutchman is a splice or patch in wood.

    Way back when I was a helper, a Dutchman was mostly a cast iron term, it was a piece of cast iron without a hub. When you're working with cast iron you never throw anything away until the job is done. It would be used in the venting system, or in this case from the closet bend to the closet flange.

    So is this what you'd use in a well to increase contact of a sensing element to the well that is nonhardening?
