@trevorstevenson47723 жыл бұрын
Ya, it eventually corrodes, but sometime takes a lot of time. Best is to use dielectric unions. Second best is to use brass in the steel line. I just remember being called on it by an inspector lol

Good video. I’m a so called “handyman” but I realize overall it’s prob cheaper to call you than buy those neat tools you have. Two questions; 1. How do you feel about PECS Vice Copper? 2. Best way to decrease wait time for hot water to kitchen sink. Wife has been hammering me about it taking so long. City water, whole house filter, softener, heater then to faucet. You do a nice video I just stumbled onto your channel researching for new boots, not even sure how that happened. 🍺☘️
@BlueCollarBiceps3 жыл бұрын
First off I wanna say I’m super appreciative of your support after just stumbling onto the channel! 1. They are both great, I like to use pex for water supplies throughout a house kind of thing. Any boiler work I try to stick to copper! 2. The only real way to fix the hot water issue would be to have what they call a “hot water recirculation” system installed that’s always moving the water around. Thanks again for the support!! 👨🏻🔧💪🏼

@BlueCollarBiceps3 жыл бұрын
Hey! Great question. So basically you should use them technically on dissimilar metals whenever possible. But I will say when it comes to boiler piping in New England you will see this kind of thing all the time and usually it’s not an issue. It’s not a special fitting I’m using just a copper adapter. I will say check with someone that knows your specific local code and see what they say! I hope this helps.
