Plumber question...

[redneckcharlie]

The kind of repair your talking about is used very frequently on job sites. Theres nothing wrong with them. Eighty percent of the plumbing repairs I do contain a slip type compression fitting. I use alot of the Shark Bite connects. I have yet to have any fail. I personally wouldn't worry about it, but I also do it every day. Good luck.

Don't get me wrong I'm not all butthurt. Just trying to give a word to the wise. I'm a little more than computer savvy and I know to mouse over and read the link. The thing is that Alan is credible and I usually don't think twice about clicking on one of his links. Now I will think about it and maybe even question if his post is just a shill so he can post up the link. Once or twice is funny but doing it on every post for a couple of days with no end in sight. Just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions.
I have to agree....i'm done opening any links Personally I really don't think its that funny....it's just a pain in the ass. imho I always felt like this site was a safe haven from that Bull$hit

Landscaper broke my copper water main today with a pick-axe. Focking main was only 8" under grade
Anyway, he fixed it using a brass compression union. Is this going to hold perm or should I have him solder a new piece of pipe in?
Thanks
Considering that sweating in a new piece of copper isn't that difficult, I would have it repaired correctly. I had the same thing happen when I was replacing my concrete driveway with pavers. It was repaired with new piece of copper, soldered in place. Just my.02

I agree with you. The guy did not have his torch and shit wit him so he just did it this way. I told him to leave it exposed for a day so I can keep an eye on it. I think I'll have him come back and do it right. I am afraid the tree roots nearby may heave it a little and cause it to leak a year or two down the road.

Fair enough. Came across as you were butthurt...I have not seen the other posts with the link so that's why I thought it was no big deal...Besides, having met Alan a few years ago, not for work related reasons, I know he's a cool cat...

LOL......I've been all cool n' shit the last few days because I avoided the Rick roller......Boatcop nailed my ass on that one.

I've had numerous complaints on the link. The party needs to be over. Please stop posting it everywhere.
While I can tell you how to install a toilet, I'll refrain from commenting on the pressure line issue. If it doesn't have to do with some kind of shit, I never get involved.

Rexie, I have a suggestion......every time the link get posted, move the thread to the "Just Jets" forum. It'll keep 'em entertained for hours over there. :crossx: :crossx:

I thought code requires no fittings beneath grade. I'd at least want a soldered fitting.
