There is a new sheriff in town!  Bob “Hot Rod” Rohr is back in the saddle for this 2021 edition of Shop Talk.   We've partnered up with Mechanical Hub to offer you a real good time.

In Episode 3 Hot Rod will help you make cow sense out of all sorts of pipe connections. What in tarnation is the best connection for a common hydronic or plumbing install? Watch for a giveaway. We'll have one M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ Press Tool w/ ONE-KEY for an ace-high member of our audience. You heard right.  Yee-haw!

We reckon there'll be a showdown. Sheriff Hot Rod will moderate a spirited debate between Eric Aune, Cody Mack and Max Rohr as they tussle over their favorite connection type.

You'll learn:
→ Are you barkin' at a knot when it comes to Euro connections? By gum, we can help!
→ What's the difference between NPT and BSP?
→ Don’t get your dander up! We'll show you how to get a good "fiber washer" seal the first time, every time.
→ Transition fittings: what is the best tube and pipe today?
→ How many products use a BSP gasketed connection? Is it a one size "fits all" fitting?

Don't know "Hot Rod"? Recently recognized with the 2020-2022 Carlson-Holohan Industry Award of Excellence, he effortlessly shares his 35+ years' of experience as a contractor and currently serves as a training and education manager at Caleffi.
