Cute, real friggin cute guys

That sucks.

Everytime I come across one of those surprises, there’s never any real satisfaction in finding it, only irritation.

At least you figured it out.

Meh, would've been the first place I looked 🤣

I found this one pretty entertaining and it just solidified my decision just to repipe this vault.

Funniest one i have found recently is 4 white 90's acting as a gas seal/plumbers U trap between the lift station and the panel.

This same building has a piece of liquid tight glued into pvc fittings.

Now that’s funny. I like seeing that. You can’t even get made at that.

You know how many times I’ve wanted to do this???!!!

Apparently it works. I wouldn't have thought the sizes would work out, but someone figured it out.

Yeah, I wouldn’t have thought about it either. My buddy showed me that trick with a devious smile on his face.

Anything except EMT. It's all pipe sizes. Sure they're white instead of gray...

Correct me if I may be wrong, but I think all pipe up to and including 2" is an o.d. dimension, after 2" its an i.d. dimension.

Notice, until you get to 2", none of the sizes are nice even sizes at all. And above 6" the OD is +3/4".
It is best to never think of "OD" at all when dealing with pipe.
It is not "_ OD pipe", it is just "_ pipe".

That used to be common practice around here. Then one day the inspectors challenged the practice and nobody wanted to fight them.

Personally, if it's strapped secure, I don't see anything wrong with it, but I was taught by hacks. (no not hax )

I always thought pipe was id and tube was od. Emt is tube so it made sense to me

I'm sorry, but if it makes sense to you, you don't really understand it.
It just is.

Pretty sure we pulled some 10's and 16's through a plumbing elbow this week. Old wire came out in two pieces with a mini ex lol

Carlon used to have it in their listed instructions for their Carflex but i think it was removed finally.

I heard about a guy that met a real hack that might glue sealtight into PVC fittings under the right conditions. He said it may not be in the instructions but it's a pretty strong connection. Somehow it's legal with ENT but not with LFNC.

Wouldn't you say there's a lot of legal things that are a lot more hack?
