We really appreciate that, thank you.

I did lead joints in the 80’s repairs mostly . Did get good at horizontal joints but scary stuff in a wet confined spaces. Nice work 😎

Could you guys do a video of pouring a lead joint on a cast iron water main, step by step?

It’s really easy . Pack it with okaum and pour your lead from one position and let it roll . Although I’ve only done residential

@@HarrisWaterandSewer do you guys mostly deal with Terracotta pipe? (Clay pipe) . In Baltimore City it’s all clay and we run new pvc sch 40 for residential and cast for commercial if specified.

​@@drainjunkiessorry for the late response. I've seen small sewers done, like 4" and 6", but I didn't know if the process would be done differently with a water main. I work for a municipal water utility, and we repack lead joints on 16"+ water mains from time to time (the one time we're legally allowed to use lead is to repair lead joints) but we hammer lead in cold, and then install a joint clamp. I have been unable to find any videos of larger lead joint pours or really any lead joints on water mains at all, and I think it would be a great thing to have.

Breathe the nice smell of lead. Did you backfull in lifts. Also did you remove the sheeting.

Yes to both! Backfill in lifts and we reuse sheeting when possible

This was a much more enjoyable video without the white guy that just talks so much God bless him but I want to hear from the workers not the guy with the un dirty shoes.
