Yeah wow! Yesterday we briefly discussed flaming drums of flammable liquids (lots more exciting), today drum drips reign as the supreme topic? Slow day or something?

GUYS_ STOP IT ALREADY we've been using these for 100 years. They are simple. They are codified. Unless you're willing to submit a proposal to change what we've been doing, please- this isn't technical. You'll need backup for your proposal. take a 5 gal bucket, 8" wrench, and find a parking garage with sprinklers. do your field research, and submit it. i'd suggest the first 5 minutes you're onsite, have a fitter with ya- the more gnarly, the better. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matthew J.
