    Rusted threaded end of drain pipe under sink

    It's an iron pipe nipple that is screwed into an iron or cast iron fitting in the wall. If you try to unscrew it, the threads on the fitting in the wall might break off. Then you have to open the wall. If you try to cut the threads off with a saws-all it could break whatever seal is in the wall.

    Collins 22a threader

    J. A. Sexauer Company

    You might try Am-San. I had a account with Sexauer for 18 years with a rep coming once a month. Haven't heard from them in a long time. We have a truck coming in delivering different things and the Sexauer logo is on the side of the truck among others. Think they got bought out. I have a Am-San...

    Water hammer issues? or freeze damage.

    Terry, thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that the piping to the humidifiers is sch. 80 pvc, wrapped with heat tape and insulated. When the pump in the boiler room kicks on and off the line jumps and as the pressure switch is bleeding down it continues to slightly move. On demand...
