apache has to know what a nipple stick is! Anyone
Slipshod, if you work in that garage do'nt create any dust seems to be the rule.
I think all of us should treat the stuff with more respect !!
Thanks to Mr Sworld for the link.
Slipshod, Ah I'd forgotten that all runners had to be painted, yes , Dry-Galv paint or Red Oxide.
Apache Do'nt get too excited over the nipple sticks, they were a length of conduit about 12" long, threaded all the way ,by the apprentice, usually. When you wanted a nipple you cut one off the stick. The gaffers in the 60,s would not buy pre-made nipples, labour was cheap then, especially apprentices.
We also used Slipshod's trick of the Heating engineer's powered threading machine when we could.
I do'nt want to bang on about the old days but its all Slipshod's fault , with his reference to the threading machine. Instead of using trunking they went for 2" steel conduit which meant it had to be threaded. It was a two man job, the plumber's had ratchet dies but ours were about 4ft long, blooming ridiculous when you look back.
Oh, and a Bending Block for setting 3/4 conduit. No bending wheel like the plumber.
It was a block of wood 4"x3"x 3ft long, hole towards the top, shove the tube through to pull a sett in it
