Spiro Agnew

my Spiro Agnew trashcan. A shame he was from Maryland. He was a maroon. His burnt marshmellow speech proved it. WW

Oh, I mean Spiro Therm

has finally resigned to the fact hydronicians in this country like to solder things together. A sweat version of the JS, 3/4- 2" in now avaiable. Yeah!!!

Does it read that the vertical series is available in sweat also? If so, I would be the happiest plumber around.

I've always like the ability to screw a FIP pex adapter on the vent nose and pipe it out of harms way. I hated threading copper to mip adapters into the unit however, in fact I would usually sweat the threaded connection also.

No more. Thanks Spiro

PS, think ProPress also

alright, good job

So you got the Greek to look.....

Yeah, it is good news about the solder fittings, but I have'nt tried soldering one yet. Why solder the thread? I assume you are using two male adapters anyway?

You forgot

the T

Somewhere, tucked away in a box, I have a RM Nixon & ST Agnew set of candles. I had much longer hair in those days(G).

Ever see

what glycol does to that copper to brass threaded connection? Don't know that I have ever seen a glycoled Spiro that wasn't green, and weepy around the threads. I KNOW solder holds glycol at bay

If memory serves

I'll find a George McGovern for Prez pin stuck in the Nixon candle(g).

I read a poem at my graduation from high school. Short & to the point. If only I'd known..... It went like this: "I was always afraid of being a radical when young for fear of being conservative when old." It was by Robert Frost (I think).

The tradition continues

Agnew, Mandel and others.... and Ed Norris now has a talk show in Baltimore, he's Maryland's answer to G. Gordon Liddy.

hr when you thread the copper MIP

into the spiro,I assume it's not doped or taped before soldering?

Solder Flux

I have been able to find my favorite brand of solder flux for a while now. (Thunder Bolt) So, my question is, what is your favorite brand of solder flux?

Thanks...!!!

fav flux

I have been using Oatey #5 for a long time now, so far I have not had a reason to change, can't beat that sodium chloride for a nice neat joint, and you can always go back after soldering to adust a joint is need be without taking everything apart. I only use this stuff on hydronic work.

When working on potable plumbing work I use Oatey's water soluble stuff, as long as you know how to solder correctly without burning every fitting it is a good flux. But boy that sodium chloride is soo much easier to work with......

Do you mean zinc chloride?

The sodium chloride around here is salt.

Cosmo_3

Remember the Nattering Nabobs of Negativism? What about Bebe Rebozo? whatever became of him? By the way; does a low loss header alleviate the need for a air removal device in line?
