Awesome!! Great video on how the work within the natural system works. 👍😎👍
Great video, I work for a Washington gas contractor in Northern VA. and I work with Npl, Great work performed here.
In case you need material just call Cino for 21A or Dust
Absolutely awesome.!!!
Watching this from uk. Seeing and hearing safety is top priority but not one barrier protection around a hole baffles me. Awesome to see how the USA do things compared to us.
Yes thanks got to do this Monday
That’s awesome. I work with this stuff doing GIS but it’s cool to see the process in the field.
What is GIS?

Just been dealing with that for like the past 2 months now when having off during weekdays and vacation time. Kinda loud. And they start at 7 am.
Do you install a pressure regulator underground as well as internal meter
Ah the good old days before we had to wear FR gear. Been fusing for 11 years now. Dirty job but great pay!;
The fusing process if done correctly is easy. Everything is simplified as long as you do it correctly. People in the northeast and upper Midwest have cast-iron mains wich were put in before we had electricity. Thats what the problem is but its being replaced quickly.
Safely yes. Quickly I’m not sure is the correct verbiage. I’ve been replacing cast iron gas mains in New York since 1979 and we still have Hundreds of Miles left to replace from 3” to 72”. Stay Safe All. 👍🍺🍻🙏
@@kevinmorrison7115 yes The process is now done by a large percent of the work force. It use to be contract crews during a certain timeframe. Now company has actual crews and contract crews working year round. Your correct that there still is many miles left but also areas showing many leaks. They are replaced quicker than in the past.
Keren bro.. gue juga kerja di gas. Tapi wilayah kerja di Indonesia
I do the same thing here in the UK.. very interesting to watch
what qualifications do i need to do this kind of work? thanks
can’t tell me the fuse at 6:53 isn’t contaminated also the melt is horrible glad to see we have high quality pipe work across the nation!
good videos
Great Video. Who paid for the service of the new line? WEEnergies or the homeowner ?????
Home Owner Would pay for New Connection I'm guessing from Gas Line outside Boundary Up to Gas Meter / Service Valve / Riser Position Inside Boundary
We in New York have a 100’ rule. We install free if we will recoup with the customer usage.
50 year life expectancy. Ya right. We got CI mains from early 1900's. Late 1800's. Boston area. They got their $$$$ worth out of it
David Hopkins I've seen wooden mains in Georgetown
That is why they have had 2 pressure disasters that damaged several homes and the second time killed people.
The bead on the left is thicker then the right. Fusing irons Sometimes tend to heat up more on one side then the other. Probably wasn’t calibrated right. Or could be just the angle of the camera
10:35
Rene Agudo Looked like some hi-lo in there, and the lips were just a little too fat for my preference. But it looks like it would hold test just fine.
The bead has to be at least 1/8 in. And no bigger than 3/16.
@@chikinhawkxl might differ state to state I’m not sure.
I know this video is from another state but in So Cal both beads on 4” PE would have to be between 1/4” +/- 1/16” together. Our general guideline.
There shouldn’t be much of a difference, if any on the thickness of both beads side by side
That would mean your iron is hotter on one side
Done a million the company I work for I'm A journeyman pipe fitter, so I can do everything not just qualified in 1 thing like fusing!!!
Hello sir if any one now about this work so how would be apply from Pakistan if he have the 10 years experience plz suggest me
I want the best training
Like
that fuse looks mitered as fuck
i have a medical history of heart problems. however i was a good telemarketer and as a printer operator for a civil service state workers comp billing and addendum's. i am a great candidate for customer service jobs. utilities are great employers
That service hole looks like it was cut with a laser
David Hopkins Lol, definitely a vac truck involved in that one.
Vac truck pretty much cuts like a laser
I did this in Manchester England for twelve years and I would have got run off the job for cleaning the pipe faces with a rag after trimming it and where are tents. All pipe welding is supposed to take place within a tent to minimize contamination from dust and rain etc. I can’t believe they filmed this. Unprofessional !
Some use tents but not everyone. If it’s windy they would suggest it. That would depend on the gas company regulations if it’s required or not. (Yeah there will always be contradiction within construction)
Different weather, different places. It’s crazy how rules will differ from location to location. In SDG&E San Diego we use alcohol wipes to wipe it down. In SCG so cal we use acetone wipes. Some places require rags. Some places frown upon using rags. Different soaps are used between different gas bases. Some use Palmolive dish soap to leak test and some use official leak testing soap for PE pipe. 👍🏼
I know best
You get the steamfitters there and sure enough....it’s steamfitters work....no plumbers have ever installed gas....
i have lol
Are they really pulling pipe into a bore that has butt fusions in it?
What's wrong with that
LudtkeAquariums just not a good practice but I guess if you use stick pipe you don’t have much of a choice
@@jbc_8110 buttfusions are the only way to pull bored pipe the fusion os stronger then the pipe and you gotta have a weak link to pull back
LudtkeAquariums I’m not talking about that, that butt fusion will be cut out after the pipe is pulled through the bore
Doesnt matter at all the buttfusions are stronger than the pipe I agree with you in the sense ig you're boring a shot why wouldn't you use coil to save time but regardless those fusions are solid
why arent they using the 4" rolls. sticks take too long
nickk05281982 probably being used by another crew or something
nickk05281982 Because the 4" rolls are a lot harder to manage physically, and manuever to get good straight fusions. As an inspector, I prefer to never see 4" rolls on a job at all. None of my contractors want to use rolls of anything above 2", which suits me just fine.
Deep Six Worked as a foreman for years and never used a roll over 2". Ran 2000' of 4" main with straight sticks.
Daddy SmokesYams Yeah, I've never actually seen the 4" rolls, But I've heard they exist. The foremen have told me they're a nightmare. I know they use 180mm in Europe that comes on a roll, which is around 7". But, the English aren't all there in the head.
Probably don’t have a line tamer
Npl
Steamfitters or maintenance tradesman? smh
