Now my real question is, can you union boys lay your hands on fitting that aren't made in China? I don't must trust that junk.

Nah, he was Union pressman. Ran a 4 color press back in the day. You probably read some comic books he printed. The Archies, Ritchie Rich, etc...
I still get USA fittings and pipe, you just have to specify "domestic" at the parts houses. Not sure why the default is China. I got me some black to run tommorow. All sch. 80 and extra heavy fittings. Steam and condensate lines.

I don't know why they sell that Chinese junk either, especially black iron. Your average happy homeowner doesn't have a vice and dies, and gas scares the bejesus out of them. Doesn't stop 'em from working on electrical, and take it from me, I've seen some amazing things.
I hardly ever run gas anymore...if I did, I'd deal with a supply house. What little I've done over the past few years, I've run into Chinese fitting with voids...a real pisser after you thread it all together and find out there's a hole in one of the elbows.
And I wouldn't be surprised if one of those fittings wouldn't just split from end to end some night.

Nah, I just hate spam as much as Grumpy, so he gave me a license to go hunting for spammers. You guys are safe as long as you don't paste a link to the Nigerian prince's website. I will be your humble servant - just like your senator.

I know how to keep costs down. Lefties will have rightie death panels, and righties'll have lefties.

In other words, the only thing that changes for anyone is the method of payment.

Thanks Pete. It's just a matter of declaring open season on spammers. I believe "Super Moderator" has to do with the permissions necessary to ban spammers, i.e, it has more to do with the power of the software than the power of the grunt using it.

Congrats on the Super Mod position. So I guess this makes you Political Chat's death panel.
