Brass pigtails

Yeah it seems like it requires 1/4" for non-ferrous and 1/2" for ferrous, both up to 5 feet.

So that seems to rule out 1/4" steel pigtail. thanks for pasting it!

There's good reason.The splooge really adheres to the Black steel pigtails. If you take one out after not being cleaned in a few years, good luck getting it cleared. I think because brass is non ferrous and doesn't rust, there is much less adherence and clogging. By the way, the new yellow brass pigtails...Stink...thinner, not sqaured up and crooked. I.miss my nice Red Brass ones.. Mad Dog

ELooks to be high quality. Lab quality, perfectly sqaured up and erect like a Army Private at Attention. I presume they make a straight configuration as well? Is that from Mc Master Catalog? Looks like the we company color. Most plumbers are going to ignore because of the 50 Buck tag, but I wanna try one now. Good find, Bravo! Mad

Keep in mind 316 ss is a ferrous metal. Technically.

I build the control trees when possible.

I use brass or SS for the 1/4" risers.

Use a couple more crosses than shown above.

My logic is that if the blk pipe manifold is shown clear by looking thru the crosses then the 1/4" risers would be clean.

FWIW, provision (i) states "Individual controls are to be piped from the manifold according to the provisions of (g) and (h)." I would interpret that, in the last picture posted by RayWohlFarth, they would have to be no smaller than 1/4 inch brass or 1/2 inch black pipe. Additionally, I would interpret the first part of provision (i) as meaning a short manifold would have to be no smaller than 1/2 inch brass or 3/4 inch black pipe. (

We've been dinged on occassion for building our manifolds in iron. Not very often though….

I don't think he works in livonia, mi…
