Well crap.

 

I bought this yesterday to replace the overflow/drain fitting on an evaporative cooler.

See the drain plug fitting on the upper right? You would think the threads on that are 3/4" npt. But you would be wrong.

Those are a garden hose fitting. Garden hose? Not 3/4 npt? WWTF??

So another trip to lowes. Why? I'm not gonna use a garden hose as a drain, I am using pvc.

And then they hide the sonofabitch adaptor. I went to 4 goddamn aisles hunting for this effing thing.

Got it done and now I got a couple rust holes in the pan. I let it dry overnight, going down now to cover it in black mastic.

Wish me luck.

  2. I have had better luck with FlexSeal (as seen on TV!) than old school Henry's. it's still only lasts two seasons but it doesn't crack like Henry's.
