Many is the time customers have ordered a new thermostst for their hot water
high pressure cleaner and assumed the tube was a wire.

So they cut it and joined the new one on with a cable crimp. Oh how we
laughted :-)

I've not come across it yet, but I wonder if anybody's done that with a
remote fire valve.

Best remote fire valve I saw was in my old company. There's a fire
panel on the wall, with a big yellow button that says "push to test"

So one day a passing stranger followed the instructions, and dumped a
sizeable halon tank into the comms room on the other side.

Fair made a big bang, I can tell you.

The following week, a perspex cover appeared over the "push to test"
button, with a lead crimp on it ;-)
