Re: Plumbers Are A SNOOTY Bunch

That was totally uncalled for.

Every one who replied in that is a complete azz-hole.

It's not like you were asking any plumbing questions that should have offended their Upper Status Proffesionalism that they portrayed in their actual real life responses.

That is just ridiculious. That's the kind of thread any real and true professional would have jumped all over spewing good solid advice.

Re: Plumbers Are A SNOOTY Bunch

bwalley, i'm sure you'll be fine. Just don't ever suggest using a sanitary tee on it's back. Could be a deal breaker. But if you're looking to stir up trouble, suggest the PEX vs. CPVC vs. copper debate. It'll give you a few minutes of worthwhile reading.

Re: Plumbers Are A SNOOTY Bunch

Tom, all that I can say is WOW! Even the Mod didn't catch on to your question.

That Hydrogen Sulphide and Methane must have long term effects. I'm glad that I exited the utilities business when I did.

Re: Plumbers Are A SNOOTY Bunch

Isn't it kind of obvious they had no answers to the question, probably had no clue what you were even talking about.

Re: Plumbers Are A SNOOTY Bunch

The smallest possible. Always consider the end use, anything more just slows everything (especially hot water) down.
