Plumbers and Fitters work hard and party hard. Local 638 Fitters of NYC have a slogan "We're drunk, We're late, We're 638" lol in NYC the plumbers and the Fitters don't get along because their separate locals. If you know the history of the Fitters. Most of their work was Plumbers work that we gave to them because we dealt with Lead and Oakum Drain and Waste pipe and that was a lot of work in the buildings. So we gave them refrigeration and sprinklers. I was originally a 638 Boiler Technicians Helper and that's true steamfitters work.
Then with the plumbers I became a gas fitter and anything over 3inch diameter steel gas pipe has to be welded so I became a welders pimp. I use to work 50ft in the air on a scissor lift with 300lb lengths of steel pipe. I would have to drill all the hangers and me and the welder would hoist the pipe in the air and lay it on the hangar for him to weld. I also use to work with 3-4ft pipe wrenches. I know how to bevel steel pipe ends, I know how to thread by hand and by the rigid 300 machine and I use tack weld for the welder before he would fill the gaps.
Definitely interesting work. I also worked on No Hun Stacks, Copper risers, framing, crotons and I worked in a Union fabrication factory that would fabricate shower bodies and risers for big jobs.
Hands down the Best!!!!!
