I hope to get a chance to try this.

They ship those couplings with gas pipe. Never understand why. Had a guy use them in a slab. No gas pressure at the end of the line because they leaked so badly.

would it be to protect the threads.I know the smaller pieces like 1/2" or whatever usually have a plastic protecter on the threads but with large pipe I could see threads getting damaged with out a steel coupler to protect the threads. It also seems doing that "trick" would damage the threads of the coupler but after you stating they come with the coupler maybe it's simply for protection? I know we used to deal with smmall pipe fittings for water lines in plastic injection molds and I just started either "chasing the threads" with a die on the male threads and running a tap manually into female threads just a turn or two ,until then I could never get them to seal.

why do they park the truck so far away from the edge of the water?

Dramatic effect?

must be. i guess that plastic never rips.

To keep from getting stuck?

That pipe and fitting are galvanized so I'm guessing it's electrical conduit, which is mostly PVC nowadays.

I'm sure Blast's taste buds could be used to find out.

i am sure there are places where that is about as close as they can get. that wasn't one of them.

yep, but that little trick should work for iron pipe, or threaded pvc pipe or anything else that is threaded. i had to remove a pipe thread off of an old water well several years ago. i ended up with a cheater pipe about 10 feet long. I thought i was going to twist the metal pipe in half before the threads finally broke loose (soaked for hours in penetrating oil).

Agreed.

Try "heating the threads" next time. In my work a long cheater pipe is mandatory.

Real men don't use cheater pipes.

We all know what CTC really means when he says "long pipe".

On the oil wells I work on, you do. BAM BAM BAM "GodDamn pieces of shit crap".
