What is the difference between a millwright and fitter and turner?

Same thing... I am not exactly sure myself. I was told they actually the same thing though with slight deviations in the college program. the difference in title comes from different countries. for instance i am from canada and the trade is millwright though while living in australia I found out that they refer to a person with the same skill set as a fitter and turner.


Who invented the plumber?

What is stronger a round steel pipe or a steel hollow square bar?

By stronger, we need to define the loading conditions of the rod or pipe. The strength of a rod or pipe is typically evaluated with axial, transverse (bending), and torsion loads. With the same diameter and the same material, a solid rod is stronger than a hollow pipe. However, with the same weight and material, the hollow pipe is stronger than a solid rod. Because a hollow pipe is lighter than a solid rod at the same diameter, the hollow pipe would have a larger diameter in order to match weights with the solid rod and a larger diameter rod or pipe is stronger than a smaller diameter one.

What should you do if your shower gurgles when the toilet is flushed and the toilet doesn't always work and you also get a drain pipe leak in your basement when too much water is used at the same time?

First thing you should do is call a plumber. Drain lines are not supposed to leak. Your drain line is clogged and needs to be snaked out and the leaking pipe repaired.

Don’t Wait for a Plumbing Emergency?

When you have a plumbing emergency at your house, whether it’s a clogged sewer system or a broken pipe, you often are not thinking that you want a quality plumber. You just want the problem fixed. The only drawback to that is any plumber can fix the problem, but it takes someone highly skilled to do the job right and make sure you don’t have that same problem again. It’s a good idea to have a plumber you can trust. The first thing you should look for is someone you already know. Review your church directory or your friends on Facebook. Find someone who is trained and experienced. If you personally do not know any plumbers, chances are you have a friend who does. Ask your friends who they would recommend. A good plumber will have a couple of years of professional experience. He will be skilled at analyzing problems and providing affordable solutions. For example, when an excellent plumber finds a root ball in your sewer, he will recommend products to prevent the situation from happening again. You want a plumber who will look out for your interests and not just his own. Don’t hesitate to ask your plumber for references. Try to find a plumber who is passionate about his job. Anyone can turn a pipe or run a snake down a toilet. When you talk to a plumber, he should show enthusiasm for what he does. He should be very happy to tell you about his past jobs and what he has done. A person who likes his job is less likely to make a mistake. You also want someone who can take care of a plumbing problem with little advance notice. When you have a leaking pipe, you don’t want to have to turn your water off for a few days until someone can take a look at it. You want someone who will show up the same day. Whether you need to install a new sink or have a dripping showerhead, an efficient plumber will help you out. Do your homework and finding someone you can trust ahead of time.
