Natural Gas Main & Service Line Replacement with PE Piping 

In case you need material just call Cino for 21A or Dust

Literally not one barrier😂

What is GIS?

Safely yes. Quickly I’m not sure is the correct verbiage. I’ve been replacing cast iron gas mains in New York since 1979 and we still have Hundreds of Miles left to replace from 3” to 72”. Stay Safe All. 👍🍺🍻🙏

@@kevinmorrison7115 yes The process is now done by a large percent of the work force. It use to be contract crews during a certain timeframe. Now company has actual crews and contract crews working year round. Your correct that there still is many miles left but also areas showing many leaks. They are replaced quicker than in the past.

David Hopkins I've seen wooden mains in Georgetown

That is why they have had 2 pressure disasters that damaged several homes and the second time killed people.

what qualifications do i need to do this kind of work? thanks

Rene Agudo Looked like some hi-lo in there, and the lips were just a little too fat for my preference. But it looks like it would hold test just fine.

The bead has to be at least 1/8 in. And no bigger than 3/16.

@@chikinhawkxl might differ state to state I’m not sure. I know this video is from another state but in So Cal both beads on 4” PE would have to be between 1/4” +/- 1/16” together. Our general guideline. There shouldn’t be much of a difference, if any on the thickness of both beads side by side That would mean your iron is hotter on one side

Home Owner Would pay for New Connection I'm guessing from Gas Line outside Boundary Up to Gas Meter / Service Valve / Riser Position Inside Boundary

We in New York have a 100’ rule. We install free if we will recoup with the customer usage.

nickk05281982 probably being used by another crew or something

nickk05281982 Because the 4" rolls are a lot harder to manage physically, and manuever to get good straight fusions. As an inspector, I prefer to never see 4" rolls on a job at all. None of my contractors want to use rolls of anything above 2", which suits me just fine.

Deep Six Worked as a foreman for years and never used a roll over 2". Ran 2000' of 4" main with straight sticks.

Daddy SmokesYams Yeah, I've never actually seen the 4" rolls, But I've heard they exist. The foremen have told me they're a nightmare. I know they use 180mm in Europe that comes on a roll, which is around 7". But, the English aren't all there in the head.

Probably don’t have a line tamer

What's wrong with that

LudtkeAquariums just not a good practice but I guess if you use stick pipe you don’t have much of a choice

@@jbc_8110 buttfusions are the only way to pull bored pipe the fusion os stronger then the pipe and you gotta have a weak link to pull back

LudtkeAquariums I’m not talking about that, that butt fusion will be cut out after the pipe is pulled through the bore

Doesnt matter at all the buttfusions are stronger than the pipe I agree with you in the sense ig you're boring a shot why wouldn't you use coil to save time but regardless those fusions are solid

Some use tents but not everyone. If it’s windy they would suggest it. That would depend on the gas company regulations if it’s required or not. (Yeah there will always be contradiction within construction) Different weather, different places. It’s crazy how rules will differ from location to location. In SDG&E San Diego we use alcohol wipes to wipe it down. In SCG so cal we use acetone wipes. Some places require rags. Some places frown upon using rags. Different soaps are used between different gas bases. Some use Palmolive dish soap to leak test and some use official leak testing soap for PE pipe. 👍🏼

i have lol

David Hopkins Lol, definitely a vac truck involved in that one.

Vac truck pretty much cuts like a laser
