For installation I’d say 7 out of 10 quite difficult but not impossible. Most women in the trade are in the fab workshops or service

Sup bro how are you liking it now

@@edsoncuevas7652 not too bad.

​@@PopeyeModesto bro I'ma be an apprentice soon. I'm super nervous. I don't kno what I need I feel like I might be too dumb

@@kararal9834I’ve been at North Star fire protection now for 2 and a half months so I’m green too but I can tell you you aren’t too dumb

Hope you guys doing well been doing this about 2 years but recently transferred to the service side so still learning

Been pulling heads on for some time on the machine. No broken heads, no leaks, no problems. What’s your excuse? Union tell you it’s not the proper way?

Easy with the union shit babe. I been union for 11 years. Everybody is different. I know plenty of union guys that never use the machine to tight heads and I know plenty of union guys that do. It’s a personal Preference. Every single Manufacturer says not to. Read the literature that comes in the box of heads. But damn near all of us still do.

Oh chill out u fuckerfaces...I still do as well just talking a little shit is all ..

Good way to crack a fitting also. My j man taught me to never do that

Are you two serious? Your dumbasses mean to tell me that you make EVERY FITTING on in the air or on a vise? You don’t pull any fittings on with the machine? 😂😂😂 I’m Guessing your both scabs and we’re never taught properly.

Journeymen make $65/hr in Cali

@@djdradp8baller2 shit really? union?

Not on this side of the globe. Teflon tape and pipe dope only.

Well if your a rookie then u shouldn't do it. If u know why the fuck u doin then there is no problem

What do you use a steel 24

I’m cute then

A FUCKING MEN. Preach brother. Pittsburgh Sprinklerfitters LU 542 right here. Let them talk. We’ll be laughing all the way to the bank bro lol.

They journeymen don't do this part of the job?

Jon Schissler straight up because I’m on a 140 ft boom lift stuffing pipe while he cuts it local 483 baby we’re the athletes of pipe fitting where that fuckin strong and fast 💨

Apprentice for sure. Btw where’s your hold back scabby? And where’s your gunner? 😂 your letting the elementary stuff slip that’s not a good look. Plus I for one can’t remember the last time I touched my 300 that’s for apprentices to show their worth.. Nice try bud stick with the trade tho it’s awesome I agree! 👍

@@BeardedBotanist 13 years in the trade now. This video is 7 years old...I never gave up and now I've got a wicked career. If you know the angles of what you are wrenching you simply do not need a hold back. if i was wrenching branch lines together in straight runs a hold back would be crucial but just swinging in drops just hold the pipe right. as an apprentice i learned that quickly.

@@patricksmith1692 the only bitch I would have is dont mess with your phone or a go pro while at work just do your thing! From what I can see is your alright and i run with all the ball busters local 669 AZ

huh? why would i buy steel wrenches?

Matt Malloy Why? I've done that probably 10,000 times.

id say I'm more around 50,000 times lol. if you're not green you know how tight to put your heads. machine or not

I used to do it all the time. You know when the head gets tight enough. You’ll know whenever you’ve tighten it too much.

Gotta remove the drop and Chuck it up..... Install never thinks of service smh

I'm Beary Excited I do sprinkler maintenance jobs and let me tell you everything is always too tight. I can hang onto my pipe pliers and do pull ups on them. We once had a 2 inch pipe so hard stuck that when 2 men were hanging on pipe pliers, the galvanized 90 degree part that the pipe was threaded into, just broke in half!

It's a 1/2" thread will come out easy

ross721983 Yes 95% of the time, but sometimes they can be stuck very hard. Often the 1'' nipple will unthread instead of the sprinkler head if it's tight enough.

Juusto use a hold back on the drop or RC then. and a head wrench with the beauty plate spun up and no problems pulling a head. don't be a scab figure it out

T. Witheld unless ur fabbing for your fitter. bring them said peice and while they install you go get another thread cut and taped

Must be a union guy huh lol. That’s funny. I made more as 2nd or 3rd year apprentice than you scab foreman make. How the fuck can you not like unions. We protect our jobs, our work, we have two pensions, the whole nine. I agree with what the other guy said the most profitable companies out there by far are union companies. Bottom line is “YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. SKILLED LABOR ISNT CHEAP AND CHEAP LABOR ISNT SKILLED”. Tell you the same thing I tell my customers. Let the scabs install it and we’ll be back within a year to start the repair work. You scabs keep our union service vans running around the clock. Pittsburgh Local 542

ua179 fitter here. fuck off scab

Signed in just to reply to ya. The problem with unions is they don’t sift through the shit. If you’re a lazy piece of shit; and do shit work, you shouldn’t be making the same as the guy who’s killing it. All of the ultra pro union guys I know are terrible employees. I’m certainly pro union as there is a necessity for it; however there’s too many scum bag sprinkler fitters that would rather play hide-and-seek on a high rise job than actually get shit done. You gotta admit it’s a problem. Also the mentality of “look at what I get as a union guy!” Is ridiculous. You personally didn’t do fuck all to earn that; the union did it. 4 years isn’t enough time to perfect the trade and earn the big bucks; can’t tell me buddy who spent 4 years installing heads in office buildings should be paid the same as someone who’s done 10+ slamming in deluge; dry; pre-action systems and fire pumps. The system is broken.

@@lost4843 this guy knows what he is talking about.

Eric Brown fuck a duct

O we cant do that lmao

I always wear gloves when running a power machine. Shouldn't have your hand in the dies anyhow.

gobucks94 Motoxxx nothing wring with ols school

gobucks94 Motoxxx cordless grinder is the best. Bandsaw is alright too though

Ive been doing this for almost 12 years now. if its just one rod you cant beat the hacksaw. I normally just put the rod across a bucket but having to get the camera shot i wanted to have the rod stable. i nearly cut my finger off with a porta band saw removing a 1.5" line...
