: : : : : Is this bras pipe - like schedule 40 - or brass pipe like in a tailpiece on a sink? I thought it was pretty difficult to cut those fine threads on a tailpiece.

: : : : Hmm - I didn't think of that - I was thinking the "poster" was making brass nipples. But - your right - it sounds like tailpieces (from the two sizes). If it is tailpieces - forget it!!!! Hill

: : : It is schedule 40. its a old post office. i have to cut in two new water lines (hot & cold). when i cut pipe i can undo short piece and adapt to tee with a male by copper adapter. but the other end where i cut i have to thread in place in the ceiling. i cannot undo that piece because it goes into an area i cannot get at . thanxs

: : You can hand thread it in place - but I have to mention that hand threading that size pipe in the overhead position is going to be a BEAR! Hill

: hill, i meant to ask you if you think i could get away with using a hand held pony machine instead of threading it by hand?
If I am not to late , or you ever have to do this . Use what is called a Dresser Coupling it works on bald end of pipe.
