Yes, pipe fitter. We do plumbing and heating too. And wrenches and sockets up to 2" I don't do any bidding, but, the short answer is, yes
No flow issues at 50-75 psi, pressure is pressure, doesn't matter the shape. Drains get sweeps and wyes and 45* bends
Do not know how you got to this,be willing to bet you never soldered in a air chamber for a faucet.be willing to bet you never heard air hammering in a residential setting,old iron pipes.Water can slowly take in air,but faster under a hammering situation,still a long period of time,which is one reason for central pressure tank.
Pressure is pressure?Any restriction,however slight lowers the volumn.In hydraulics,with x number of fittings/angles,you up the overall size of the system to keep the volumn.In a house you do not run 3/8 for 40 feet,you start larger and drop off size closer to taps.Pressure is mostly irellevant if you do not have volumn.Same in a flue for pellet stove,too many bends and you have to go up a size.
We use bladder/diaphragm tanks, because tanks without them get water logged. We use piston type shock absorbers on smaller systems rather than air chambers for the same reason. Especially in bathrooms where there are many fixtures with flush valves.
Doesn't matter what size pipe you run through your house, without pressure you can't flush your toilet sorry for the hijack basod
No problem. I worked for a friends father in college roughing in hot water heating systems in commercial applications. I'd get so far ahead of the "licensed" plumbers sweating joints, that the foreman finally asked if I wanted to start soldering. At first my reply was "when one joint leaks you'll be cursing me out when I'm back at school" he grinned and handed me a torch, showed me a few tips on a couple test fittings and set me loose. The only time I've ever had a joint leak is on a repair when you're fightng some residual water steaming off - near impossible to get a joint hot enough
Yup basod I was 12 years old and 70 lbs and smal....l my 6 4 grandfather decided I was going to learn in a closet he couldn't fit into.... a few minutes of showing and said let's do it... if you are not experienced buy a good solder and flux! or use PEX!
Balled up WHITE bread makes a good dissolvable plug.... Not WHEAT, sourdough, grilled cheese, pannini, naan, tortillas... !!!!!
This works every time for me. Just be sure to take all the aerators off the faucets before turning the water back on.
