From time to time, I need further explanation of terms/practices posted here.

My queries might be buried within a thread and not noticed...

To Hence-

(From another thread- http://www.plumbingforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8259 )

If copper DWV attached to a brass bell, would copper pipe actually corrode in such a fashion, or is the pipe galvanized??

flux is used to join copper, and it works by eating away the top layer of copper, . if excess flux is used, it will do what it do
keep eating that pipe. excess flux needs to be wiped away with a damp rag at the end of the solder process

I did not know that. I thought the wiping was just neatness...

60+-year-old house. Cinder block construction with shower plumbing within outside wall. Threads in valve where stem screws in are corroded beyond usable.

Is there some kind of Helicoil kit designed to repair threads such as these?

If not, what options do I have regarding plumbing repairs in cinder block?

Are there or can you use HELI-COILS for plumbing valves/fixtures?

 

[frodo]

no, it is not an approved means of joining pipe according to asse,naphcc,iapmo,
and some more alphabet offices


wiping your copper is like wiping your ----

Excerpt From Another Thread-

Cell core and regular PVC are considered to be completely interchangeable. Both types can even be used underground.

frodo-

While I understand both can be interchanged and it seems plumbing contractors use DWV cell almost exclusively (for cost I would a$$-u-me), I was under the impression cell was best used for venting and solid for actual drainage for noise abatement. It was demonstrated in CHARLOTTE PIPE system using their QUIET HOUSE CONCEPT (along with no-hub iron pipe).

Comments?

From Another Thread-

...you cant use pvc as a water line inside a building, only outside the building

frodo,

Can you clarify by code how PVC supply can be used? I have read service entry only to the meter and another post only within ten feet from entry.

I don't like cellular core because of all of the cracks in the pipe that I have had to repair over the years. It gets damaged WAY too easily for my liking.
