Working in a chemical plant for 30+ years I've replaced more gate valves then most. From 1/2" to valves that need a crane to lift into place. Almost all on a horizontal run with the stem up. Crap gets trapped in the seat over time and when you try to close it the crap keeps it from closing tight. People then over tighten it and on smaller valves that can damage the seat so it'll never seal again or worse yet, jam it closed. I've seen the stem ripped right out of the gate. Install with the stem at a 90~ or down and it'll last near forever. Around the house I would only use a ball valve as a shut off. -

Started off the whole quarantine thing by being productive. Garage clean up, yard work, home projects, and end each day with a glass of scotch. Now my productivity is waning and I just go straight to the scotch! -

Frankly you might need more than the tip of the iceberg ... You need to clamp on this VERY tightly...... If you do not, situations can spiral out of control very quickly that can overwhlem and inundate a department... i am not old enough to recall the Newark riots.... maybe someone should look it up and reflect. Its a conundrum, balancing liberty and safety...and no one should quote franklin...it is not a valid quote and you need to read the letter and understand the context...NOT the 'soundbite'... However, you probably will see the nat guard in a policing role, if other less intrusive protocols fail. Both cuomo and murphy should be ashamed of themselves.... they are not leaders.... They shouldn't lie, but they should also not stoke desperation and fear.....because if they do so and the peace cannot be kept in the next 6 weeks...till numbers start dropping .... You won't see just the tip....your gonna get the whole shaft to the base....in one sweeping moment.
