Default QOD for 9/24/08

Hi to all,

Just thought I'd start this up again, I've had writers block over this for months

If anyone wants to suggest some topics for questions, go ahead.

Regards

Gerry

Gerry, ask a lot of HVAC & Electrical questions, which seem to be everyone's week spots.

Maybe skip the electrical questions until the know it all gets banned.

hows this for a better response.......Please ask your Electrical Questions because they really need to be answered. The only bad questions are the ones never asked.......electrical questions should be asked regardless of fear of certain people chiming in as out of it all.....somewhere in the responses the answers will be found.

Hi to all,

The correct answer is PB 2110, if you ever see this on a plastic pipe, you are looking at polybutylene.

Regards

Gerry
