So yesterday we were installing a six inch ductile iron pipe line and I was restraining every joint. Maybe some of you have installed restrainers but for those who haven't they are a clamp that clamps to the pipe then you put allthread through them to the next to hold the joint together. Anyways on the clamps they have nuts that will break off when you get to the correct torque. So I just hired a new guy and my foreman was having him tighten these and told him to be very careful not to snap them off since they are delicate so he is going and going and finally SNAP! and my foreman starts screaming and flipping out so I walk up and proceed to ring him a new one on how much he just cost me and what not and about the time he about to throw in the towel we let him know they are supposed to do that. Good times.
