Every plumbing rough I see with Richard, he dry fits everything then pulls it apart and glues it. I don’t dry fit something unless I have to. I wonder if they chamfer and sand down the outside so it fits nice and easy for tv. Also clear primer, that’s a big no no. I only use it on set outs
@benkeysor75763 жыл бұрын
Dry fitting is good practice if you have multiple connections. You don't sand PVC because that is what primer is for. I used to sand CPVC when I didn't have any primer on emergency water line repairs and they hold fine although that really isn't the way to do it. Clear primer/cleaner actually cleans the pipe and allows it to hold better, at least on CPVC. The purple primer is strictly for show to allow the work to pass inspection. Most plumbers actually use clear primer and then swab the connection with purple afterwards for inspection. Either Richard did that off-camera or nobody is going to question his work.

It's about time those young-in's learned how to swing a hammer and how to drive nails, especially finish nails which can be a pain to drive without experience but Tom should have showed them how to set a nail with another nail because you're not always going to have a nail set. They should also really be doing more nailing by hand instead of using nail guns because it's a good skill to learn since you'll always have a hammer & nail and not a nail gun and air compressor. It's always best to learn how to do something two ways and start with the hard/old fashioned way.

I know this series is over and the apprenticeships are probably over, but do you teach your apprentices best safety practices or teach them about chemical SDS?

I know I’m probably nitpicking here but just had to ask.
