Would you buy a recip blade made specifically for cutting plastic pipe?
The science behind it, the reason it cuts fast (and cleaner btw) is how the teeth shed the loose material faster and efficiently. A typical metal cutting blade has small teeth, close together which is great for metal but not plastic. With metal blades the plastic can “clog” the blade/cut.
I’ve even seen large pipe, like 10” sch 40 melt to itself after cut because of the heat and material in the cut from a metal cutting blade.
I bought the field piece clamps. They’re nice but the app sucks for simple temp readings, deta-t etc unless you’re doing AC measurements.
Testo’s clamps are kinda lame to be tbh 🤪 but the simple delta-t calc and display in the app is better than Fieldpiece’s
In the end this is a simple thing to do while you’re picking up and running the newly commissioned system. Pump settings can cover a wide range of performance needs but they can only perform along the “system curve” and finding the right pump setting is important.
Hoping to clear up some confusion about where the expansion tank is tied in to a system when using a hydraulic separator/low loss header 👍🏼 ... See MoreSee Less
