It's easy for you guys but

Pretty happy i managed to add a trap under one of the floor board units that were added without traps.

Used a stick to brace the pipe so i could wrench upwards, then cut, pb blaster and map gas the old pipe came out and trap in.

Looks good. How does it work?

Will know tonight!  Pretty warm today

when confronted with CI fitting disassembly I usually use 2 hammers instead of 2 wrenches

I agree but in some cases too much hammer can cause a leak in an adjacent joint. I like to cut the fitting part way with a grinder then drive and old screwdriver in it to crack it less pounding that way.

And some don't realize how important the back up hammer is

Yesterday was warm enough to install the final 4 traps under the trapless baseboard heaters.  Ended up being far easier to just cut, thread and screw them in rather trying to remove anything.  (I did wrap the pipes with 1" fiberglass)

I'll be installing the final 9 trap rebuild kits next week, can't wait to see how much less gas this thing is going to use.  Almost sorry spring is around the corner.

Nice job, however, don't insulate the returns. They don't give off much heat most of the year and if you end up with a bad trap, the piping can help cool the condensate so its doesn't destroy nearby traps. This is especially the case if you orifice the supplies.

I thought I was supposed to wrap the returns??  I've spent so many hours and 30 rolls getting them all wrapped.

I know there's probably a few variables but how would it take, more or less, for a new trap to be ruined by a neighboring bad one?  I've been renewing them one by one during the day and still have a few to go
