High pressure pipe flange installed by the lowest bidder! Wonder how long it will last…
It may literally be hanging on by a thread
Wait, the common phrase does come from a fiber thread though right? O.O
Yes, but it is applicable here.
Absolutely, it just made me question the origin of that phrase that I assumed, because it also makes perfect sense here.
Rattle gun and send it, compress that rubber down.
Keep going until the bolt breaks, the replace with one 15mm longer and some loctite
Can’t be THAT high a pressure on a cast valve and rubber gaskets
“Lowest bidder” - The whole job has to be ripped out and redone. He used heaps of second hand crap too. It’s a real mess. You should see his companies electrical work. They don’t have a mechanical services or electrical license. It’s a wonderful situation.
Who decided that bids from unlicensed workers were accepted? Ridiculous
Yup. You’re telling me! He “borrowed” a license from a mate… it’s all cooked up. He’s in a fair amount of trouble.
Oh god yeah that does sound like it should get him in plenty of trouble. I get buerocracy can be crazy annoying but this is just unacceptable
Well at least the lawsuit will pay for it
You are suing them right? Get everyone involved.
High pressure seems to mean different things in different situations. eg:water jet vs UHP water blasting vs tapered coupling installation vs um, tyre inflation?
In advanced fire eating tech, high pressure means a gentle breeze
Don’t let anyone you like working with mess with it. When it inevitably fails, they’ll blame the last person to touch it, not the installer.
Much longer if you righty-tighty that nut my friend
From the looks of it, they ran out of screw, hence it looking like it’s not tightened.
In motor controls and power distribution, 600V three phase is low voltage. Up to 69,000 volts is “medium” voltage lol
Missed opportunity for 69420 volts.
Ohh the title took me a few seconds… 😅
Care to fill those of us that still don’t get it in?
The bolt should go all the way through the nut.
I still dont get.
All I can hear is the lord of the rings tune
I hate you.
Is it because I took your hat?
Because you didn’t explain the title.

I guess? First thing that came to mind.
Yes, my brain is fully rotten.
Haha this too, but actually this
Yeah it took me a few minutes too haha… 😅
…still counting
This is just poor engineering. They could save money by using jam nuts.
About 100Pa…
0.001 bar? That would be a low pressure system
They asked how long the flange in that set up before a leak. I don’t see it holding at all like that.
CL4P-TP EP?
