to an unthreaded peice of galvanized. same goes for the plumbing shop i specifically told them that i was trying to connect pex to an unthreaded galvanzied
they told me to use that shitty dresser coupling (http://www.plumbingsupply.com/images/long-galvanized-repair-coupling-200050.jpg) wich did not fucking work, it was leaking real bad on the pex side. same with getbiggers they all thought i could use that dresser coupling fucking dumb fucks probably never even been up under a house
its fine though more manual labor for me, and more teaching getbiggers how to be a professional plumbers and manual labors no wonder you guys all look old as fuck probably do all of your physical labor jobs half assed >:(

this just goes to show how much heme-iron effects the brains of people and "professional" plumbers whove said i could connect an unthreaded galvanized to pex

yes its funny people are fucking stupid im glad you have payed attention to me closely you are a true follower. i am so disgusted by incorrect and costly adviced, i re-piped the whole damn house by myself, most fagget plumbers have all these fucked off helpers.
-
now i just need to figure out how to ground the electrical grounding wire since it was previously grounded/attatched to the old galvanized? I do all the work myself im not asking any getbigger to go up under the house with me, i am a true eric dollard protege

In order to correctly put them together you must first check the od or outside diameter of the pipe then check and see if the repair coupling will cover that range. Also if you did not use the metal insert on the pex piping it will not work for long and usually pushes it back out with the pressure of the water. Show some pics of the two ends you are trying to place together it may be easier just to put a blue smith-Blair dresser on it. If you still insist on the spliced you need to get brass not galvanized. HTH messenger me for more info

i dont know what you mean by this?
i used the metal washer and the rubber gasket that were in the dresser aswell as a nipple that goes into the pex, there wasnt any insert that i saw

Yes it's got to be the od of the pex nipple, how long is the pex brass nipple? I'd just get a Smith-Blair dresser from a plumbing supply house and once you get it on and it doesn't leak get a can of undercoating and spray the bolts of the dresser ans it will last longer than you and I ever will.

Unthreaded Galvanized Pex Nipple Of Peace

With the type of connector on that pex pipe the concerts are not necessary , I didn't know this til I seen the picture , what does the nipple on the pex pipe that goes into the coupling look like?
-
it's that damn pex workout again
-
falcon, why did you change your name? I only noticed it now.

Don't take advice from GETBIGGERS

All these plumbing things are taken for granted until you have to do them yourself - it's its own little world.
-
Why did you keep the old gal? Why not just join new pipe to old with a new coupling instead of this daisy chain of fittings?
Anyway, surely two pieces of metal won't seat tight enough to be waterproof without some goop or something. There's no way. Also, you'll get corrosion issues with brass to non-brass.
