Some people just like to do things "the tradition correct way" without thinking. And any plumber with even half a clue knows that the time to do the joint is only a tiny part of the total time to do the job and is the same for a plumber with soldered joints and compression fittings, with soldered ones much cheaper and arent going to ever need to be replaced when done by someone who knows what they are doing.

Compression fittings are for clowns like you that don't have a ****ing clue. They last forever too. Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have never had a ****ing clue. I've never seen one fail, and my house is full of them. In fact I very rarely see soldered joints anywhere in anybody's house.

Less time than when using a compression fitting when you know what you are doing. Bull****. Fact. Both involve cutting the pipe to the right length. After that you just screw the thing on. Which takes longer than soldering it when you know what you are doing. Impossible. Anyone can fit a compression fitting in seconds. Without having to lug tools about through confined spaces, then have flames right next to your face or flammable materials. The soldered joint requires no support either. Neither does the compression fitting. -- A man goes into a library and asks for a book on suicide. The librarian says, "**** off, you won't bring it back!" |

Funny my house is ful of them and not one has failed in the 16 years I've been here. As for expense, how much of your time is taken to solder a joint? You are very obviously not a plumber. I *know* 100% that you are wrong. I used to use *end feed* fittings which are about a tenth of the price of compression joints. Soldering a joint doesn't take much more time to solder than using compression fittings. At least to a plumber it doesn't. Compression fittings take virtually no time at all, Same with soldered fittings. and don't require equipment and heat and so forth to use. Irrelevant to a plumber. Some people just like to do things "the tradition correct way" without thinking. And any plumber with even half a clue knows that the time to do the joint is only a tiny part of the total time to do the job and is the same for a plumber with soldered joints and compression fittings, with soldered ones much cheaper and arent going to ever need to be replaced when done by someone who knows what they are doing. Plumbers who have learnt how to do them want to make use of the pointless skill. They do what is cheapest and is the best technology. Compression fittings are for clowns like you that don't have a ****ing clue. They last forever too. Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have never had a ****ing clue. I've never seen one fail, and my house is full of them. In fact I very rarely see soldered joints anywhere in anybody's house. It seems it's a small niche of plumbers who seem to like doing things the hard way. You are an amateur and haven't got a clue. If you used compression fittings and I used end feed fittings, I would leave you standing with not only speed, but neatness and cost effectiveness. You would never keep up. If you used compression fittings, you would be even faster. Wrong, as always. Time is money. In fact soldered fittings are cheaper and quicker to use. |

Looked into the kettle today, clean as a whistle. What a ******** you must live in. If your water is that soft, let's hope that you haven't got any lead pipes! -- 100% Cu. 99% Cu, 1% CuO probably. With lead solder. Most plumbers use compression fittings, much quicker. No they don't. Compression fittings are far more expensive and less reliable. Funny my house is ful of them and not one has failed in the 16 years I've been here. As for expense, how much of your time is taken to solder a joint? You are very obviously not a plumber. I *know* 100% that you are wrong. I used to use *end feed* fittings which are about a tenth of the price of compression joints. Soldering a joint doesn't take much more time to solder than using compression fittings. At least to a plumber it doesn't. Compression fittings take virtually no time at all, Same with soldered fittings. and don't require equipment and heat and so forth to use. Irrelevant to a plumber. Some people just like to do things "the tradition correct way" without thinking. And any plumber with even half a clue knows that the time to do the joint is only a tiny part of the total time to do the job and is the same for a plumber with soldered joints and compression fittings, with soldered ones much cheaper and arent going to ever need to be replaced when done by someone who knows what they are doing. Plumbers who have learnt how to do them want to make use of the pointless skill. They do what is cheapest and is the best technology. Compression fittings are for clowns like you that don't have a ****ing clue. They last forever too. Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have never had a ****ing clue. I've never seen one fail, Plenty of others have. Then thy were fitted badly. My house is proof they can be excellent. and my house is full of them. Because whoever did those was too stupid to use soldered. Or sensible enough to save time and effort. In fact I very rarely see soldered joints anywhere in anybody's house.. Because **** all are visible. I'm not talking about visible. It seems it's a small niche of plumbers who seem to like doing things the hard way. Nothing hard about it. It's more effort than not doing anything. Place compression fitting against pipe, turn nut. Nothing at all. No tools, no effort. -- A Muslim was sitting next to Paddy on a plane. Paddy ordered a whisky. The stewardess asked the Muslim if he'd like a drink. He replied in disgust "I'd rather be raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips!" Paddy handed his drink back and said "Me too, I didn't know we had a choice!" |

Nope, its primarily due to the **** you lot eat. Nothing to do with the water. Poorer people eat lower quality food. The dregs are too stupid to eat sensibly. If you shop sensibly, anybody can eat well on limited money. Yep, and the dregs are too stupid to do that, that's why they die younger because of the **** they shovel into their stupid mouths in insane amounts. The **** tastes nicer than the "healthy" crap. That's drivel with the well chosen healthy food like a steak or roast lamb etc. |
