Right? Maybe that takes a flame, or maybe just hot boiling water. Not sure how to run a copper pipe though that conveniently . . .

How can he be deceptive when he showed everyone exactly where the thermocouple was attached?!? Maybe he was being stupid, but there is nothing deceptive about putting the thermocouple in the wrong place and then showing everyone in the world where it is in a mass media video. If you are being deceptive you put the TC somewhere else and then point to a good location. There is no doubt this is where it was. Mind you, there was no place better to put it. This was the last metal. Just rubber after that. He should have put another in the fluid, like I told him to do before the test. Evidently he so used to measuring temperature at the pipe he figured my method was not necessary. He is probably right, but it is annoying. > He could have made it solid so easily and he is not an idiot as has been > pointed out many times. > It was a lot more solid than you realize, listening to the peanut gallery. I do not think you will find any experienced HVAC person who would quarrel with this. - Jed
