Question:

smoke detector goes off without a fire?

the smoke detector here goes off every few nights. while interconnected, only 2 out of the 6 go off, and they all have fresh batteries and have been replaced. (yesterday) none of them are near enough to other sources to cause them to be going off. any ideas?

Answer:

Not sure what you have there, but flex pipe usually has Pipe threads on both ends. Some ( when designed to hook up gas appliances ) have Flare fittings on each end. If you intend to use the flex for water, any connector will do, but if you want to run Propane or Natural gas through it, you have to use either black pipe of Flare fittings. ( For black pipe, besure to use a good sealant to prevent leaking ) You should head out to the local hardware store or Home Center and talk to the guys there. Tell them what you are trying to accomplish, and follow their recommendations. Good Luck
You don't have to necessarily make it in something, you could do it on the grass itself, as long as you control it. That being said, i wouldn't suggest lighting yourwheel barrell on fire
