I can attach a plastic elbow in about twenty seconds including, heating a cooling. No way can you rotate one on in that time. Plus the heating system is much easier Just my 4 cents (inflation you know) worth Dick Day Marshall, MI In a message dated 10/20/99 2:46:05 PM Eastern Daylight Time, jpage@capecod.net writes: << Heat the wire with a propane torch until you see it turn color just a little - certainly not red! Push it in the elbow and hold it straight until the wire cools enough to be solid (10 seconds or so). Try it you'll like it. I cut the old elbows off with a pair of wire cutters, cutting it lengthwise. By now most elbows are so brittle that they fall off easily. > >dave It seems to me; for the time it takes to heat the wire, insert it and wait till it cools; you could just rotate one on. Vise-Grips on the wire makes quick work of it, no fumes, no fire hazard, no fuel cost. Besides, if you have a willing helper; while they replace the elbows, you could be tightening action screws. >>
