Visiting my inlaws and they had a leak last year. Insurance paid for repair. There was some residual moisture in the ceiling and a section of tiles just fell. They are a kind of tongue and groove and it looks like the installers used 1/2-3/4” narrow crown staples(?) to attach the tiles in the...

I was just getting ready to create a post on a very similar situation. CEILING TILE REPAIR/INSTALL.

Channel locks broke these free.... I think channel locks were the only tools that would bite into the copper for secure purchase.

Okay...when I get back I will try and turn these that way.... what a headache. The smallest things prevent a project to COMPLETION,. THANK YOU

I have already cut the pipe. I know they aren't suppose to be sweated but was wondering if people sometimes do stupid stuff. Who knows. The pictures are upside down. I put a wrench to it and they wont move. Pipe wrench? Any ideas?

That is exactly what the repair shop said, about build quality. I think i will do what you said and make a 12-14ga short extension cord. Big thank you. BTW, what is that clip or attachment for the power cord Anyway?

I‘ve had this waffle iron as long as I can remember and we use it now for a sandwich press... The power cord got damaged at some point and it was taped. The thing works just fine except the power cord gets warm and that means resistance and fire hazard. When i took it to my local appliance...

ANother question: any pros or cons to using pipe dope over teflon tape for air fittings? thanks

Thanks I have those specs. but has anyone here used them for this application.

I am finishing up the preproduction elements of my project and have an issue that can be resolved with SHARKBITE coupler for 1/2" copper on my air line. Has anyone used sharkbites for air? thanks

Yeah, thanks for that , but as I recall, the green oxidation is a reaction between the excess flux that remains and not a result of using copper tubing. I will use only as much as I need to get the job done!
