You as well John!

Merry Christmas to you, Tim, and all of your crew! The largest tap job I was ever on was back in 1997 when we took a 36” off of a 48” Concrete pressure pipe live just north of Toronto. It was almost a two day job but very interesting!

That's huge! That would definitely be interesting to see! Merry Christmas to you all as well!

I do the same work for the city of Athens Georgia We have all ductile iron water mains

Nice Job !! I see we got a new mini ?? Hoping we can go from backhoe to mini so much easier and less of footprint then a backhoe 👍 We always check to make sure we are not with 2ft of a bell or it can crack and blow water everywhere and more work for the guys lol

Thanks! We did get a new machine. I need to "introduce" it in my next video! I love the minis for the work we do. Have a Merry Christmas!

Ever tap one of those and the main blow out, that stuff is crazy

Can you make a video about the case backhoe switching from hammer to bucket

Maybe a bit of water on your broom.

Dang get the trench it in to, either we drill it in or have to open cut with a mini, we cant use trenchers cause they worried about damages

We actually ordered a drill in May and are still waiting on it. This job would have been a lot cleaner with it!

Did you guys get a new mini?

Hi, this may sound like a ridiculous question but why copper pipe off the main why not PE pipe

We use copper to support the type of meter settings we install. Definitely expensive.

What type of plastic pipe is that? Is it better than pex?

I don't know that it's better than pex honestly. We use it alot. I believe it's polypropylene that is copper tube size. Thick stuff and uses compression fittings.

Looks to be hdpe, performance pipe makes it

I'm curious anyone know what the trace wire is for that they added at the ending the blue one

We put that in for our own use to locate since it's a city service.

Location, I wish they would make a rule that all plastic pipe requires tracer make my job a whole lot easier

What kind of tapper is that?

It's just the bit off a normal hand crank tapper that we stick in a drill. Not sure of the brand though.
