Ask for a bolt extractor set wherever you calling. Many places know them by different names

I couldnt get one to buy
I ended up buying it online

[pugboy]

doubt you will find large size like that locally

[maj. tom]

Try a 14⌀ and see if you will get a 1mm thread bolt. Dunno exactly what application you need.

a tap that size need to be entered pretty straight or the first set of threads might end up cut very loose

[Chimera]

Either I install that pressure reducing valve wrong or it completely useless

Yup
This happened to me
Cuz we decide to repair the threads on the spot
But we cleaned the hole rel good and used some oil to thread up the new bolt.

Try Lotec in Tacarigua, they sell lots of machine shop supplies and tooling you should get that tap there. They re named the business though to Phyton machinery supplies or something so

thats something i looked at a few times & hear so much good about it online from many ppl but being a skeptic i hadda see 1 being used in real life to convince me especially when it not exactly cheap ....

Hadden have the industrial one with wheels too. Don't get the regular bristles one that going to rub on the concrete.

Boy once you see this thing in action you never going back to swinging pressure wand 300 times just to clean 1 square meter. I only use the wand for walls and the edges. A side of my house used to take a good 4 or 5 hours before I bought this. Now that side took 1 hour. I'll make a lil video to show you sometime.

not sure if right thread....but how allyuh does arrange allyuh small fittings that you have plenty of?

like i have storage totes of PVC fittings

like 3 -4 kits with 3/4 inch, 1 kit with 1 inch, 1 kit with 1/2 inch, 1 kit with 1.5, few kits with 2 inch (use 2 inch for irrigation)

i redoing some plumbing in an apartment and i would just rock with 2 of the 3/4 kits and the half inch kit...
but then when it come down to it i hadda be digging tru digging tru to find a fitting i need...and sometimes i dont have it and it too late to go buy it

last week i buy a bunch of 9inch x 13 inch 2 mil lockable bags (not the brand ziplock, its not food grade bags)
and i bagging up all the fittings individually...so now i know what i have and dont have very easily

it real annoying to be 95% through a plumbing project at 8 in the night and then realize you dont have a 3/4 elbow and 1/2 inch tee

[pugboy]

I use small rectangular buckets like what some soap powder comes in or foodstuffs

sort the fittings using bags and just throw them in the bucket, one bucket 1/2", another for 3/4 etc

I does fling everything in a pigtail bucket inclusive of threadseal and random ends of pipe and then empty out the whole bucket on the ground to get a fitting. The chirren does put it back

[Rovin]

i have 2 cardboard boxes about 12"x12"x8-10" tall , 1 for 1\2" fittings & d other for 3\4" - dise it ... it works for me

[Chimera]

I feel like I have alot more fittings than the average person lolll would post a pic when I doing some cleaning up after xmas

[pugboy]

those rectangular buckets have good covers too so can stack and more effective spacewise than round

pvc small fittings even lengths of pipeline imo still cheap so when i have a lil something to fix i always buy extras in case when u doing d fix u realise u didnt account for something & u dont want to get ur self in a bind where u dont have water

new fittings & pipelines is something that doh spoil so better u buy\have extra than less especially when u doing something after hardware closing hrs or on sundays or holidays ...

︎ Sort your fittings by type and size.
︎ Put each in a separate, clear plastic bag.
︎ Store all of the all of fittings in a larger container dedicated to a single size of pipe.
︎ Seperate and store valves, compression couplings, traps, etc., by type only - keep all of the sizes together.
