I just had a look and see that we have about 122 members that have never posted anything. Not even a hello? The best way to get the most out of forums such as these is to participate in the discussions. Remember there is no such thing as a stupid question, silly ones for sure, but never stupid:jester:.

I'll take us off track for a moment.:whistling2:

Speaking of silly questions. I had a first year setting WCL bowls. He comes to the office trailer carrying a 1/2" drive torque wrench with a 7/16" deep socket in it and says "What is the correct torque on the Johhny bolts""

I asked him if he had done any yet. Lucky for me he said no.

Back to topic:whistling2:

It would be nice to hear from all the members. Seems there are a few who want to sit in the background a bit and feel the site out before posting.

This ain't a DIY board. Save those specs for CT or other DIY boards.

Yeah, I know CT isn't suppsoed to be a DIY board. But the plumbing section is.

Oh crap! I told him 55 lbs. I hope they haven't come loose:laughing:

Sorry bout the trade secret give away. since the cats out of the bag. Maybe a HO won't make the mistake of just using a small stubby wrench:whistling2:

If anything, no one should post anything for a day so I can catch up on the good reading material.

You guys are living in the stone age.

I use an air impact wrench on closet bolts, it works great.

 

[Plumberman]

I knew I was missing out!

 

[Redwood]

This is a a torque multiplier very similar to what I use to tighten Johnny Bolts. This one multiplies the torque 4 times. You don't want them bolts to come loose do ya?

 

[ILPlumber]

Please lord. Don't let his suspenders pop loose. Amen.

Geez, what the hell are you apes doing?

All the cool plumbers use 16d spikes with a fender washer (brass of course) and a palm nailer like for setting rafter hangers.

Get with the program or move over pops!!

Shhh... Dont let all the secrets out:laughing:

 

[uaplumber]

When you finish tightening them down do you just use 6010 rod to weld them or do you cap with 7018? Can't chance those things coming loose during an "explosive event":laughing:
