    I still pass by some mint spots I hit and they become a massive bush after a year or two


    not true. ive had mint plants intentionally planted die and never come back.

    you gotta root them deep if the roots don't spread there's no chance but it doesn't take much for them to just go nuts. Your soil must be shit

    I have to be honest,. i don't know a lot about plumbing but I know enough to know this setup is a fire waiting to happen if something large strikes that configuration. where are the straps? is it just supporting itself? is the space in the drill holes strong enough to hold it in place?

    shit looks comically like a Laurel and Hardy project
    Is Buster Keaton on the job?

    Just to make sure though, I texted a picture of it to someone at the gas company and they said "it doesn't look good".
    Anyways they are supposedly going to have it look less shitty by the time I get home.
    And the people yesterday insisted on relighting my water heater which I was like "okay" but I'm pretty sure they broke the igniter on it seeing as how it looks them 30 minutes to get it lit…
    No safety straps.
    no anchoring.
    wouldn't pass county inspection

    contact City Hall or county inspector and ask for an inspector to come check it out

    its 1" rigid galvanized pipe. how much moving and shaking do you actually expect it to be doing

    Oh now you're defending it? if something leans hard up on it, the thing could snap at the connecting points.

    I dont expect it to just move much as is but it just looks sloppy and a hazard waiting to happen

    if they cared that much about it they would have embedded it into the wall the way they do electrical conduit/electric wire. the fact is, the galvanized pipe is strong enough to survive any reasonable impacts. its not intended for people to be using as a bumper. that pipe is strong enough for a normal weight person to sit on and have no negative effect.

    the debris trap isnt designed to be anything…its a zero effort zero cost addendum to a plumbing line that has zero cons to its use and all positives

    efficient filtration will be at the actual appliance



    if a 'tee' replaced that 90' the gas would be flowing downwards using both line pressure and gravity. the inertia of debris would exponentially exceed that of the gas and continue downward into a dead end, becoming 'trapped' in the debris trap instead of continuing through the lines and ultimately into an orifice, potentially clogging it.

    i know for a fact they work. i disassemble them all the time and find mostly 'rust' corrosion flaked off from the internals of the galvanized pipe.


    of course you would find those "rusts" in the bottom part of a tee, its due to gravity, and theyre going to be there whether you use a 90° elbow or a tee.

    mount the tee in a way that its dead end is facing sideways and see what happens.

    and as far as i know its impossible for the inards of those pipes to rust because theres no oxygen for that to happen.

    The debris moves through the system regardless and it's impossible to prevent using currently used materials.

    The tee would trap the debris. A 90 will allow the debris to continue throughout the pipe

    The insides of those pipes rust ALL the time. ALL of them. I'll take pictures the next one I take one apart.

    this how pressure build up in a pipe bend.



    the outside of the bend is where the pressure is the highest and gas flow velocity the lowest.

    this is to say relying on kinetic energy alone to fling the debris into the dead end of the tee will simply be ineffective, especially when the flow rate is low, such as when using a single burner which has like a pinhole jet, ie, very slow flow rate in the ½ in pipe.

    the flow rate couldnt be more than 1mm per second.

    They suck air out of the basement, it's to reduce build-up of radon. They come over and say how it's bad for you and do free testing,they test and say oh SHIDD you have radon bro you're families all getting exposed to radiation would you like us to install a mitigation system lil bromo!? His look like shit it's probably broken

    FONAAAA , CALL THE RADON PEOPLE AND COMPLAINS ABOUT THE BIG WHYTE PUPE .

    You should stop while you're just this far behind and don't get any further.

    Whatever retardation charts you're posting has nothing whatsoever to do with demonstrated reality.

    Hook a generator or heater to a gas line and see how many cubic feet per minute it uses.

    I've seen a generator form literal ice on the propane tank in Florida summer from its usage being so high.

    Internal corrosion occurs due to environmental conditions on the inside of the pipeline. In most cases, the corrosive materials are contaminants naturally contained within the transported commodity, such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, other chemicals, or even water.

    Here they just put down plastic sheeting when the house is being built. It's just plastic.

    Sucking warm air out of a house cos you think it's radioactive and the radiation is going to kill you is beyond silly.

    is this your way of saying you have neither of those and have not used any of them at your current places of residence.

    Natural gas distribution pipelines. Over the same 5-year period (2013-2017) less than 1/2 of 1% of reported incidents on natural gas distribution pipelines were caused by internal corrosion. Natural gas distribution system mains and service lines operate at much lower pressures and are typically made of non-corrosive materials (like plastic). Even if a gas distribution line is made of steel, the likelihood of a pipe rupture is low because of the lower operating pressures, and most internal corrosion failures would result in leaks.
