    I can't believe that flip phone is still working!

    Seriously though, why is that chrome plated? Is there a story behind it?

    Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.

    [Deadpan voice of Tim Conway]: Well, it looked so out-of-place after chrome-plating the Pressuretrol, LWCO, VXT, and the cat… 😜

    Fast. Cheap. Good.
    Pick any two.

    If it don't go… chrome it.

    Chrome helps keep the heat in.

    I saved a Hoffman #5

    "Hoffman quick vent float air valve"

    "Patented Sept.1.1914" 3/8" male threads. It is chrome plated to the quality of high end faucets. Float is loose inside when shaken.

    Found, connected, on the end of main in 1922 school storage closet.

    Replaced with Gorton #2…..not chromed.
