Can we have a thread for these please? If you look close you can see the wet cardboard gasket between the rubber and sink. Nice

That might be at his house. The cobblers kids go without shoes type deal 🤪
no, not my house. i do have an rur98i in my attic though. we can do that kinda sh1t in fl. Whats most confusing about that tankless to me is that A, provided there is enough make up air in whatever dungeon that thing is installed in, it could, well, i mean it could possibly work just fine, and 2, the coupling on the exhaust port, i dont understand how they installed that that way with out some serious modifications to the exhaust port. Either way its a hack job. probably been that way for years, no trouble codes, probably called some shmuck to service it and it was a nice surprise. A friend of mine sent that to me, someone sent to him, orgin unknown.

BTW, what is a "cobbler" and why do their kids have no shoes?
OMG, I hope you are kidding. A cobbler is kind of like a tinker, or a TV repairman.
And what part of the country is “cobbler” known in? As of 42yrs on this planet I’ve never heard it before.
Man you're missing out if you've never had a good peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream.
But why do their kids have no shoes? I mean kids need shoes. That sh!t ain’t right.

Some heroes use pipe dope then tape then more dope.
My PM at our large job does that. drives me crazy. doesnt leak though. ill give him that. They're installing a lot of 4-2" ball valves, some stainless, brass, pvc. Really like the Banjo brand pvc threaded valves. they turn like butter.

You forgot dope on pop up assemblies. I didn’t say I put Teflon tape on everything.
i put it on the top side of the rubber where it meets the sink.

Sad part is I think one of our techs did this in desperate attempt to get it to stop leaking. Supply house is 5 mins down the road...

Just came across one of your side jobs Terry. You know pex doesn’t bond to cpvc right? The real winner on this install is the pvc threaded coupling on the tub spout.

Why you try to hurt my feeling ? It lasted over a year.
No, No it didnt. they just bought the house a few months ago. That screams DIY. I've seen a lot of handyman work, and that is far beyond.

Damn. Those are thread protectors. Wow.
Damn. Don’t cut the stub out and re do the trap adapter. Who’s got time for that?

We call them thread protectors and the 21'ers have them on one end too.
I concur. I always worry about one coming off driving down the highway and bouncing off the road and busting someone’s windshield.

It takes talent to do work like that and get paid without having to warranty any of it.
One of the few advantages of being a crackhead.

Just dropping pearls of wisdom on you straight from Terrys code book.

You can find that in section 420 of Terrys Plumbing code book.
well it’s holdin strong. Circle K. I think they do all their repairs in house. Talented individuals.
