How many times in a row?

[Executioner]

have you flared a joint without the nut????:o

Not lately but my record after an 11 hour shift was SIX:eek:













Come one admit YOU ALL have done it!:D

[ryan_the_furnace_guy]

4 times in a row :mad::mad::mad:

[RoBoTeq]

I know for sure three but most likely more. You get tired and you just flare that puppy without thinking.

[Lurch77]

In a row? None. But yes, I have done it. Just give me time though, I'm still new. :)

nope not ever in 24 yrs in the trade even when I worked 4 weeks 7 days 16 hrs/day to get a supermarket job done on time :rolleyes:

Nice! I've done it twice, on a mini split, in a rush to get done. I think it was on a Memorial day. Never happened again.

[crackertech]

Nope never:rolleyes:;)

I keep a flare that I had to cut off on the flaring tool t handle.
Since I did that, never had to remember, it reminds me.
Pictures at 11. Hanging over right now.

Never on a flare but I've soldered a union on a water line without the nut more than once.:(

[makinmoney]

I've done many times in 18 years....but what really pi$$es me off is when I put the nut on backwards when I'm not paying attention.......:p

[hillbilly tech]

Ive done it once a few times here and there but never more than once at the same call,I'm so pissed for doing it wrong the first time that I don't forget on that there second attempt.

done that to both the flare and the union several times but never twice in a row

[Airmechanical]

never in a row, but probably 3 or 4 seperate times in the past 27 years!

$hit happens!

[Freezeking2000]

I think I have done it at least 2 times 2 in a row. Many times once.

[dhvac]

a few times i have forgot one but never made a flare twice without a nut on it

[tinknocker service tech]

three times in a row and then the same flare twice with the flare fitting backwards

that was a realy longgggg day and should have stead in bed:D

[beb]

To many to count.

So, you're one of those slow, maticulous types that can make one 3/8" oil line run last all day, eh?;)

[RoBoTeq]

Multitasking while flaring copper or sweating a union is always a bad idea. If you are talking on your cell phone or watching what your helper is doing while working with flare fittings or unions, you are bound to screw up.

My four times in a row was while installing my mother's gas log kit in her fireplace. My damned crazy family kept distracting me, most of all my older brother for the thousandth time "do you need a dual-flux capacitor Ryan". He thinks it is the funniest thing that I work with "capacitors". Not so funny after about a week in this field, eh?:rolleyes:

[Catpower]

Never left the nut off multiple times, but have made the flare too big a few times in a row

[Catpower]

But besides that I'm perfect
