Elbow erroded out?

Good luck,

RE: TG4 weepholes

That's funny! However, without the weep hole the elbow may have continued to function indefinitely. The design, coincidentally, is similar to commercial erosion resistant elbows.

Good picture Big.

RE: TG4 weepholes

Weep hole for this kind of pipe leg support with pad is common practice. Check your company standard. If you don't see it, talk to your boss. It's original purpose is to vent the air during welding and drain condensation built up inside.

(OP)
Yes. That's the company standard.
Here it is draining quite a lot of condensate.

RE: TG4 weepholes

haha! Good one.

RE: TG4 weepholes

Looks messy. Reminds me of a cow peeing on a flat rock. It goes everywhere!

Good luck,

RE: TG4 weepholes
