"Those are joints."

I found myself agreeing withy the store employee,...... There is pipe....and there are pipe fittings........ 90 degree ells---tees---reducers..etc.

I've only done a bit of plumbing in my life. But those seems to be couplings. They are piping in a literal sense, but not usually directly called pipes (as they are called couplings or couplers). It'd be like calling your flange a pipe too. That is too say a person could try to argument semantics that a flange is pipe, but calling it as such for utility purposes is useless.

I’m young and I’d beat that idiot upside the head with every pipe until he learned he was wrong.

Yeah that poor associate had to explain what a fitting was to an ignorant customer

If you need to find something, we can help, if you want to know what a thing actually does, we can't help you. I just put it on the shelf, sir.

As a plumber, all I need from you is to point me in the direction of whatever I’m looking for, and maybe check inventory if I can’t find what I need on the shelf. I fully understand that Home Depot and Lowe’s don’t make a habit of hiring tradesman to work for nearly minimum wage, and that isn’t the fault of the employees I interact with. On that note, I will admit it’s annoying when I’m in my work uniform and I’m grabbing parts at Home Depot, and I keep getting stopped by customers to answer their plumbing questions. I always smile and answer as best I can, because I’m hoping they will decide it’s above their pay grade and call me, but honestly I just wanna be left alone to get my parts in peace.

To be fair, people really should learn to research that kind of stuff themselves instead of relying on a bunch of underpaid employees to know it. I work in a meat dept. at a large retail chain and the amount of questions I get just makes me wonder if these people have ever heard of Google. Like, I'm sorry but I don't get paid enough to know what the difference between a flank steak and a chuck eye is. It's meat, either buy it or don't lol.

@ZMan1471 Or the owner couldve trained his employees. Cheap bastard.

To become a professional, you've got to get experience starting out somewhere. The problem would likely be a lack of any training if anything.

The problem is ego, of you're not talented enough to compete with people who can do straight trades, then your expectations are lower and your time line longer. The manager/owner of such a store is no different, with the difference being that the see saw might propel them only day enough to see what's the cost truly is. So if it takes you three years providing tools for home builders and trades people and all sorts them you go do your trade, you're three years behind. But if you do this lazy, because you don't have access to the quality teachers that are focused on trades, engineers and such you're teaching yourself. If you teach yourself, take longer and end up with an who that is not "how can I help you, so you might help me" well, I'm a tradesperson, I wouldn't help you. This as a metaphor for society is where most of our problems are, be they hardware stores, Coca cola plants or Google HQ. That this process of rank heirarchy and idea structures is obscured helps no one but those isometrics.

@ZMan1471 It's called learning the job, reason bunch of those stupid teens stay at the bottom or go to fast food. Guess some people to stupid to learn things

We have one like that here too. If it wasn't for the fact that they carry stuff the Big box stores didn't i wouldn't shop there. I go in i get "can i help you" i say Yes, by staying out of my way. If you even get that much of a reply out of them

The best part was when Bill & Dale got drunk in the alley waiting for Hank.

Plumber here too. The store clerk is partly right, all pipes are straight, the ones that arent are custom made with bends at specific angles. To make all other pipes "bend," you need pipe fitting. Hank just needed a galvanized (looks like he's holding a galvanized pipe) 90 elbow or he could have bought a pipe bender lol

Also "L pipes" are a thing, but they aren't bent pipes. The L is for the thickness of the copper.

Out of curiosity, could you bend a thin galvanized pipe with a heat gun and a bench vice to get a 90 degree bend for a water pipe or would the heat on the galvanized pipe make it so it would be unhealthy to get drinking water out?

@@mischievousone9999 You never be able to bent it with a heat gun, as it would never get hot enough to soft for you to bend. If you tried to make a sharp 90 "L" the pipe would either kink (preventing flow) or crack. As far as contamination. Well its possible ordinary galvanzied pipe might have some heavy metals, as zinc ore usually contains other heavy metals. Best option is to not use galvanized pipe for potable water. Pex, or copper. Although both of those materials have issues if the muni water is treated with chloramines (which is probably toxic)

*"While the asses of my enemies still ain't kicked there can't be any peace, I tell ya h'wat."*

L is actually an identifier of pipe thickness in copper pipe.

Sounds like you would be a more competent employee than this jackass

@buthut If the elbow is welded then it's one whole pipe that isn't straight

@buthut I fell like it's just semantics at this point lol

He was right tho, he needed threaded pipe and some fittings

Yep

Mhhmm

I guess he has retired because i have not seen Drew Carrey in anything in ages.

lol Drew? he is hosting Price is Right, been doing so for a while. He slimmed down a ton.

Yup.

this is the correct answer

Worked for a small municipality. Had to work on their lines. "L-pipes" are blinker fluid. Old Copper had fittings. PVC had fittings. Pex was bendable. Those "u-pipes" are indeed fittings.

​@Sebastian Hahn This is just an argument on semantics. I mean yeah you could technically call a fitting a pipe because it fits the definition but you could also call a straw a pipe or a toilet paper tube a pipe because they also fit the definition. A pipe is a pipe and a fitting is a fitting. Pipes are straight and fittings are what allow you to fit a bunch of straight pipes together to make something that is not straight. And yes I know you can bend a pipe with a pipe bender and it's no longer straight. But when you bought it it was straight because that's how pipes are sold. They're straight.

@Sebastian Hahn He said while sipping Mountain Dew out of his pipe which was amusingly dubbed a "straw" by those simple minded beasts. Interestingly enough his Mountain Dew was also in a pipe with a pipe cap at the end. Some people might simply call it a cup but Sebastian Hahn was no simpleton. He knew the truth about pipes, they were everywhere. Garden hose? I think not, that's an industry term after all. That's a goddamn flexible pipe. Tornado? Heh, that's just a pipe made out of wind. Artery? What's that? Oh you mean a blood pipe. Electrical cord? Why that's just a pipe for electrons. Have I proven my point yet? There's a reason why there are specific terms for different things, I mean it's kind of the whole reason language exists in the first place. Yeah you could call a straw a pipe and you wouldn't technically be wrong but you would confuse the shit out of anyone listening to you.

@Sebastian Hahn And a group of pedants is called a annoyance.

I started my career in commercial plumbing sales/service at a lowes...and yes, some of the things people assumed/asked for would make hanks hair catch fire. Even now on the commercial side what the alleged "pros" ask for is mind boggling

If someone working at a hardware store is giving customers false information, then they shouldn't be working at a hardware store. Plain and simple. I don't care if they train you or not, you should probably make sure you know what you are talking about before you tell some random customer all about it. Most customers aren't knowledgeable about what they are buying, and they will assume anybody who works there is. If that customer goes home and finds out you were wrong the hard way, it could lead to a whole can of worms and legal issues. You also won't have a job if you get identified as the wise guy.
