I am truly ecstatic that you passed your exam!!! However, I want to tell you that it wasn't me it was you. Remember that. You are the reason you passed, you took the time to study this craft. I only relayed what information is in the code book. It was all you and congratulations for your hard work!

@@BGsPlumbingClass thank you for these videos!

@@givennameidk4515 My pleasure! I need to get back on and do some more. Been a bit busy...

@@BGsPlumbingClassif you ever get the chance, it’s highly appreciated. Your videos help a lot of up and coming plumbers.

Glad you enjoyed it!

My pleasure!!! Glad you liked it!

I only relay the information I've learned over the years. It really isn't hard if you have a passion for what you do, and for some strange reason I truly enjoy plumbing (what is wrong with me).

Thank you. I've devoted the remainder of my career in plumbing to training. I stay out of the field now and teach full time. It's always given me a bigger sense of satisfaction knowing I helped someone succeed.

It depends on what was being installed and where. Is this compression fitting done after the meter or before? Was it hard copper or soft? I ask because in many municipalities prior to the meter a different standard is used. There are other factors like a projects specifications, for instance.

Where are you? This is important because there are primarily two different Codes out there. Each State adopts their standards based on one of these two.

Thank you sir! Appreciate the comment! Keep up the great work you do for our trade on your channel!!! Send me an Email at gorhambm@outlook.com and maybe we can collaborate in the future.

Thank you so much for your comment! I really need to do more videos on certain sections instead of a whole chapter.

What State are you an apprentice? And, thank you for the kindness.

Absolutely!! My pleasure!!

@@BGsPlumbingClass A+

Thanks!

I want to start off by saying thanks for the request and what follows is in no way meant to sound negative. I would love to say yes, but that section of the code- although in the book (like Chapter 13 Med Gas)- is something I do not believe should be there. There are other code mandates for those sections that are far more stringent and require certifications in order to perform. I believe that providing information in the UPC will only allow certain unqualified individuals a false sense of confidence- and I won't instruct that. Can you imagine a plumber that has not been properly certified to install an oxygen line in a hospital mistakenly hooking up to a nitrous oxide line. They just killed a patient. Every time I work on a contract that requires med gas certification, I make sure myself and my crew get re-certified. Whether our certs are current or not. And I use NFPA 99 for that certification process, not this code. I will be happy to provide information to you on where you can get certified to work on residential fire systems if you'd like. Email me at gorhambm@outlook.com if you want me to assist further.

To explain as simply as possible, it pertains to a garbage disposal and no disposal situation.

That was Cattle Call by Eddie Arnold. I try to use a different song I like for each video. I may end up doubling up one of these days.

I'll look into any official documents but I will say the concept is to prevent any removal from the tank itself. This means that as long as the vacuum relief is above the tank, it is installed correctly. This is especially important for electrical water heaters to prevent any damage to the coils.

@@BGsPlumbingClass i appreciate it! i know we all work for a living i have been searching also.

Were you ever able to locate technical data on this question?

@@BGsPlumbingClass no! I have been watching your vids of late tho!

Apologies for the horrible sound quality.

We use HDPE instead of PPR in our area, and only for underground applications. They both use similar joining methods though through the fusion process. As far as calculating pressure loss in a 14 story building, I would just say that for every foot of elevation there is a fluctuation of .43 psi. In order for me to answer more accurately, I need to know what area you're in.

@@BGsPlumbingClass area means i ddnt get u

Apologies. Area is the same as location.

In the Uniform Plumbing Code 2018 edition, the section is 604.10.1 which specifies no less than 14 AWG and it does mention blue insulated copper or other approved conductor, and that this section is for plastic materials for water supply outside underground- which includes 2" pvc sch 80

Thank you sir. I prefer your videos over all others, great instruction. Top drawer.

@@vincecapo5653 Thank you so much for your kind words. I only hope to continue providing you and others with information you may find useful.

I don't, but just having you and others like you enjoy the videos is enough for me. Thank you!

Yep. Like it?

Just google T-Drills- guarantee you'll find it cool! It is a very cost effective way to branch off larger supply lines.

I thought shark bites were just temporary fixes. I do commercial and we’re not allowed to use them, might be different for residential.

@@alextorres6651 Shark bites shouldn't even be temporary! But they are approved for use in the code and have passed all standards. I worked commercial practically my whole career and I prefer soldering over any other installation, but I'm old school I guess. Plenty of PEX out there nowadays (I'll leave it at that).

...sure thing.
