All the old timers say y'all are nuts! That stuff really works, just don't touch it! Lol...
I understand that it causes health problems when handled incorrectly over many years, but the environmental company's make it out to be deadly just looking at it. It's drives me crazy just talking to those guys. They want to shut down a 10 million dollar project because one pipe got exposed..... so stupid.

Emergency 2” gas valve replacement for sdge.
Steel valve was leaking in between the two pink pipe ends that I had to cut out after making bypass with new PE valve.
What’s the deal with a Pink gas line? I’ve been told by many people there is no such thing and it had to of faded or something. My understanding is they are very brittle.

It’s DuPont Aldyl A pipe. The pipe is initially pink, if it’s grey you really need to worry. There is some orange PE in the ground, they used it for about a year. But it has the same properties as yellow PE. And yes the Aldyl A is very brittle even when in its original pink color. Which is why I have job security for the rest of my career. I was told there is 3000 miles of it in the ground that needs to be replaced in San Diego county.

Guy at work many years ago had something similar happen. Older plugs were more prone to the aluminum wire having issues. I think corrosion gets them.
You Could drop that off at my house, I have always wanted one of those. Is it a auto or a Manual?Playing transporter today
We are now required to wear category 2 arc flash gear anytime we throw a knife switch, on or off. So to be on the safe side we fill our paperwork out in full ppe in case the paper bursts into flames

Are those cut proof gloves? Paper can take a finger off if not careful. Also that tinted shield is nice so you don't get blinded by the light reflecting off the paper and trip causing you to fall into the switch gear.:roflmao:
If safety hears paper can cut a finger off we'll all be wearing leather gloves, all the time. Or they outlaw paper.. The part I like is the safety glasses worn under the face shield in this particular bag of ppe were so scratched you wouldn't be able to even find the switch let alone throw it..
