Just got my first batch of these. I like em
 Core drill a 6" hole in the side of a building and slide it in. This one is going in a facility with 22" thick brick/concrete walls.This is a good product that will fill a niche  |

 I'd just pop a 3/4" hole through there and hang a sillcock off some pex.....I'd solder a pex adaper into the sillcock to and then make my crimp!!! that way if anyone wanted to replace the sillcock they would need to cut the pipe on the inside!!! a 6" core drill would make a good ashtray for me. i'm just messin around.....Cool I can see that would make a very neat and professional install.....and easier than the square holes. i wanna see pics of the hole when you core drill it. Thanks for the pic! |

Nothing worse than trying to chip masonry or concrete walls for a sillcock box. No way to do it cleanly so the box is flush and backpitched just right, with no gaps.

I also like it when the architect spec's the wrong sillcock, like a one made for masonry, and it's a metal building. And your boss the pipefitter didn't catch it, ordered everything off the print. Now it's rough time and it takes half a day to make it work.

Sounds like a great way to give bids away to your competitors.
Here is a tip for ya. If you are getting quotes for a big job, throw all kinds of useless stuff in there with it. That way, when the counter guy gets a call from your competitors and gives away your take offs, they will be screwed. Or just keep doing it your way  |

I've had the supplier volunteer the other guys takeoffs to me and I hadn't even given a job name. I started rattling of cast iron pipe and fittings and he just stopped me in the middle. He said "this is for the parking garage down town Lakeland that "x" and "x" are bidding on. Here I'll just give you their list and save us both some time." I was like "uhhhhh thanks". He simply volunteered the list just based off of what I was ordering. I didn't ask him or give a job name. That opened my eyes big time.
From now on, I intentionally throw in extra stuff and/or break it up into 2 or 3 quotes done on separate days to throw them off. I know that if that had been my take off list that I got that day, I would have been livid! Quote:
