I need to connect some copper pipe to some aluminum pipeI have heard a flare fitting is the best option, however I am not familiar with using flare fittingsWhat type would I need to use to connect the two? is there a special type of flare fitting designed for connecting different types of metals? If not, which type should I buy?Be as detailed as possible as I have never used a flare fitting before and am not sure what to get(including flare nuts and bolts, if I need those).Thanks
dont even bother putting a blanket on its better without one cause he needs to adjust to the tempurature outside or he might be a little out of sorts only put a blanket on if hes outside its icy or snowy and ice is on him
Go and feel your horse behind his shoulder (in his arm pit) and see how warm he isThen feel the base of his earIf he feels cold then put a rug on himAlso if he looks cold (ie tucked up against the wind, looking miserable etc) then this can be a sign of cold.
I do any temp below fiftysome people put a blanket on there horse when they need a sweater( but remember they have a fur coat)
Depends on your horse's coat, as well as other conditionsFor instance, I blanket my horse year-around, although not always with a heavy duty oneBut he naturally has a very short coat and gets cold easily, as well is grey (I like to keep him clean) and is rather sensitive to the bugsOn the other had, most of our horses live out and never are blanketedThey are warmbloods and grow a rather decent winter coat, so as long as they have adequate food and water and shelter from the wind, they are fineWe live in MN, and it isn't uncommon for windchill to reach -30 degrees F (-34 degrees C) in the winterYour average horse is fine in all but the coldest temperatures as long as they have food, water (Unfrozen, obviously), a wind break (Such as a lean-to or stand of trees even), and they are dry (Not talking about some snow on their outer coat, but that they are soaked through to the undercoat) and not old or otherwise compromisedIt's really up to you, although if you notice any signs your horse is having difficulty dealing with the cold (For instance he's shivering) I would blanket him asapUsually at 53 degrees F (Your 12 degrees C) I would never even consider blanketing for warmthHeck, I'm in shorts in that weather! But once again, up to you.
