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 ♂ union

c x ♀ x c tee

They're quick to write down when you're in a hurry.

Ther is probably more armaflex sold for AC & Refrigeration than for plumbing which is why they go by OD. Same thing with soft tubing.

You used to see soft tubing not capped with the nominal size on the box but not too often at least around here. Again more soft tubing probably gets sold for ac & refrigeration to the boxes are usually marked Od and the tubing is sold that way.

Agreed.  But I rarely go in to an AC supply, there are separate up here.  I could understand if they sold Linesets and stuff. Grainger is obvious...they sell everything.  Trade only unless you make up a Sham Business name.  Mad Dog 🐕

I love taking Trade exams.  I've taken close to 35 in my career.  I enjoy the hard-core studying and then playing the game (taking the exam).  I think of it like playing in a HS Football State Championship 😅...Passing is always nice, but many exams are Promotional and Civil Service, so your score REALLY does make a difference.  You may think an 85 is great, but there's 3 slots open and 3 others all scored in the 90s...Good chance you're NOT getting that job.  Mad Dog 🐕
