Next week marks the so-called House of Origin deadline in the state Legislature, which sounds like the name of a dope scripted television drama but is a less dope procedural deadline for bills to make it out of the house where they originated.
Over the last few years we've had several customers call with questions regarding the effects of oil-based pipe dope compounds on the threads of Hunter sprinklers. In case you were unaware, the two are not meant to go together and the end result is undesirable.
When pipe dope comes into contact with ABS plastic, certain oil based chemicals in the pipe dope attack the plastic and cause it to become very weak and brittle. Within days the weakened threads around the sprinkler inlet may get stress cracks and can leak profusely. Pipe dope is intended to be used as a sealant on metal-to-metal pipe threads only and thus should never be used as a sealant on sprinkler inlet threads manufactured with ABS. For this reason, we print "Use No Pipe Dope" on the body of Hunter sprinklers. Standard Teflon tape or plastic compatible Teflon sealant around the riser or swing joint threads is all that is required to prevent leaks around the inlet threads of Hunter sprinklers. The Teflon also provides a long-lasting lubricant should it become necessary to remove the sprinkler for servicing.
Many other plastic components are negatively affected by pipe dope, thus we recommend that the sealant standard should be Teflon tape on the threads of any components that are metal-to-plastic or plastic-to-plastic.
Dope wagons were carts laden with snacks and soft drinks that circulated through North Carolina and other southern textile mills to provide workers with food and beverages. The dope wagon's name was derived from the nickname of one of its most commonly sold products-a "dope," or a bottle of Coca-Cola. With the advent of soda pop and packaged foods, the dope wagon was introduced into the cotton mill setting sometime during the first two decades of the twentieth century. It certainly was a fixture in the mills by the late 1920s. Because it allowed workers to remain on the job while they ate and drank, the dope wagon was suited ideally to the needs of owners determined to increase production in the era of the "speed-up" and the "stretch-out." The dope wagon gradually disappeared, replaced by the canteen and snack bar of modern textile factories.
