nspctrdan Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Are brass pipe nipples between the copper water supply piping and the galvanized water heater tank an acceptable substitute for di-electric unions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 I don't write up brass nipples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackJack Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 The best manufacturers of faucets and plumbing fixtures make them of what? You guessed it SOLID BRASS. And they don't care if you attach it to galvanized, plastic or cooper pipe. For good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nspctrdan Posted August 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 thanks for the reply blackjack; that makes sense and it's something that will make sense to my clients also. i don't think "kurt says it's ok" would be an acceptable response to a clients inevitable "why?"

Chad Fabry Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Look at the galvanic scale. That's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Chad, Dan's already done "a lot" of plumbing work, remember?...no need for that. Besides, you wouldn't want to get a vulgar, degrading private email from Dan for such a response, would you?

hausdok Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hi, Dan, you wrote: No smart ass comments from nitwits who think they're God's gift to HI. Would you care to elaborate on what you meant by that? If you're referring to someone on this board, I'll thank you not to characterize others here as 'nitwits'. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

kurt Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Been gone for a couple days...... What's up w/the "nitwits" comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garcha Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I think someone just came to stir up some crap and recruit for another HI forum and I think he meant you. I'm sure glad I don't have all that extra information pushing on my skull turning me into a maniacle question asker. Mike Garcia Do your homework and it will come to you, if not...[:-?help] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Dan, if you're reading this, I got you're email; I tried to respond but it kept kicking back(?). I think we're cool; there was some yank that seems to have mellowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Simon Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm pretty sure I'm one of the nitwits. I didn't bother to respond to his vulgar email, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
