No problem here. That is precisely one of the many benefits of the forum. Now if someone else couldve said it before me, I wouldve liked that better. Good thing I always use tee's w/plugs, huh?

We're all here to learn, if I could just give up being wrong so often then I wouldn't need this forum. Well no hope there, carry on all. Thom McMahon, SET Firetech, Inc. 2560 Copper Ridge Dr P.O.

Wet or Dry. Thom McMahon, SET Firetech, Inc. 2560 Copper Ridge Dr P.O.

I should've said when listing allows after my statement. Bobby Gillett Sr. Project Manager Key Fire Protection, Inc.

But I don't recall any that were OK to screw into a coupling. What brand are you using bobby? Thom McMahon, SET Firetech, Inc. 2560 Copper Ridge Dr P.O.
