copper is great as a water supply but i had a copper pipe drain from kitchen sink to heavy threaded brass in wall and it had huge hole in bottom from years of stuff in sink eating away at it. the brass pipe in wall is as thick as steel and looks brand new
I've got about a 100 pounds of black copper fittings,totally oxidized, I've been looking for a way to clean them up,looks like coke is it,thanks for the segment
Soda is terrible on a commercial scale for Cast Iron. When they tore down an old McDonald's to rebuild it, the CI had the entire imvert of their 6" eaten away. It was absolutely amazing to see. I'm thinking that building was there for about 20 yrs before their rebuild. But that's years of soda down the drain and I'm sure other products like drain cleaners as well.
You can't use it to clean car battery terminals. Unless you use sandpaper after the coke. Coca cola is just a very weak acid, that's about it. Could do the same with orange juice.
Chrome plating would be the only one i expected to react to the ph 2.5-2.7 of the coke Those lids are designed to hold a vacuum. It is the ring that is holding the pressure in.
My old man's been drinking Coke since he was a kid and continued to do so after requiring an up-to-date HaMat endorsement to haul an ingredient for it to GA.
Oh thought you meant a different kind of coke. There was recently a paper released about how much cocain gets found in the sewer water in certain cities. Really interesting how you can measure how many certain drugs get used in cities.
Can't pretend to be surprised that coke cleaned up some of those materials. Just wish I would remember what it does to metal when reaching for a can of it to avoid it taking it's turn on my insides.
I wonder if there would be different results if you changed it out for fresh coke every week. If there’s a possibility that as the reaction takes place it neutralizes the acid.
Roger when are you going to start the trades football league 😂 I really want to see it settled on the field plumbers vs electricians vs HVAC & carpenters. I’d Join that in a heartbeat! Just think about it 🤔 🙏 or at least the Roger’s school of plumbing I’d join that to!!!😊
Roger's school of plumbing might be coming soon 👀. I'd love to start a trades game! That has been in the works for awhile now...the ball is in their court...😂
@@RogerWakefield You gotta make a potato cannon out of PVC. Those are too much fun. My dad and I toyed around with different designs for years. A 6" combustion chamber with a 1" junction at 45° capped with a ball joint is a superior way to load the hairspray propellant. A piezoelectric grill ignitor is easier than a flint lantern sparker.
