my piece has a bunch of 2 diameter and 3 deep holes. I want to fill in the holes and cover the top with the clear acrylic resin that you get in a box and have to mix the 2 parts together. My question is-is it ok to fill up the 3 holes all at once with the resin or should I pour some, wait until it dries, and fill in the rest? My second questions is-if you fill half and let it dry and fill in the rest, will you get a cloudy effect in the middle?
You should use black fittings with black pipe. If you are using this as a gas supply line. Galvanized pipe or fittings will corrode quicker with natural gas.
Some good answers. I will add my pennyworth. Don't attempt to use other metals in contact with the pipe i,e copper, brass especially in damp locations because of corrosion created by the electric generated by the dissimilar metals
Wrap the threads 4-5 times with teflon tape in a clockwise direction. Then apply a small amount of pipe dope all the way around the thread. If you do it this way you should get a good seal if it is hand tight. Overtightning wont cause it to leak unless you crack the fitting. You just want them to be good and snug. The threads hold the pipe in the fitting. the pipe dope and teflon will seal the gaps between the threads to seal the joint.
Not sure what EDD is. But in many cases if you are fired for just cause, you may lose out.
There is no reason you can't use galvanised firring with black pipe. Just make sure you use teflon tape at all the joints so you have no leaks. One will not effect the other. If it's for watter, black pipe should not be used though.
