hausdok Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hee Hee, Just saw the new Allstate commercial where the 'meyhem' dude was "I'm your water heater and my temperature pressure relief valve has gone bad," and he rocketed up through the roof and landed on the curb. Laughed so hard I cried. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkenney Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Great video! Reminds me of a rocket acquired for a birthday. Filled with water you pumped it up with a little hand pump and presto! Same principle without the super-heated water. I believe it had a little parachute so I spent a-lot of time retrieving it from trees or having my father climb up on the roof. Funny how you could climb the 50 foot pine (great fun at the top a windy day) but weren't allowed on the roof. They even have an acronym for it; BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion). Put that in your report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kogel Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yeah I like watching tanks blow up. 350 psi is the magic #. I left those Allstate clips running for about 10 minutes. What a hoot! Brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Lagueux Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yep, nice vids. Many don't realize how dangerous tempering with TP valves can be. Take a look at this pic.

ericwlewis Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I just saw Mayhem the water heater too! What a riot. My favorite is when Mayhem is a HS girl upset because "Becky isn't even that hot" and smashes into a bunch of parked cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
