I have a couple of observations I’ve made recently that I would like to share with you all. Sort of a project of collective wisdom, if you will.
First of all, the best time to find out your brand new brine tank has a hole in it is some time prior to putting 300 pounds of salt in it.
Check valves are a good thing, especially when they’re installed respective to the direction of flow in a pipe.
Ball valves, gate valve, globe valves (the key word here is valves) are digital devices. No, really. Valves are intended to be on or off and that’s it, there is no in between. If you have (or think you have) an application that requires throttling, get a throttling valve. They’re analog.
And finally, when you ask a chief engineer where his condensate receiver is so you can get sample for testing and he responds “I don’t know what that is,” you would do well to acquaint yourself with the emergency exits because that’s a building destined to blow up some day.
