Is this good for old houses that may have metal pipes? Will it corrode into metal pipes?

It says it is safe for all kinds of pipes. I bought this and then bought some foaming agent and regular Root Gone. I just used this product this month. Will use the Root gone with one of the foaming agents this fall. This Roebic FRK-6 of course has both foaming agent and root killer so only have to use this one product.

I have used this for outdoor use a couple of times. One was for hanging an outdoor clock. No rust there but the clock is under the eaves. I also used this inconjunction with a garden hose to stake a tree. I saw no signs of rust or corrosion. This wire has a plastic coating on it of course once it is cut the ends of the wire do protrude. Maybe after cutting the wire you could push the coating back to cut the wire itself shorter and then move it back into position. I think that sealing the ends of the wire could be accomplished with a heat source such as a lighter. It is the best thing that I could think of for outside use. Good luck.

Well it is metal so I do think if outside it might rust. I guess if humidity is not an issue and you keep relatively dry then okay.

It's not up to electrical code where I live, but I plan to be here for a long time so if it was me I would do it anyway. Many electricians won't do the work, however, if the job doesn't meet code. My only concern would be whether or not the metal parts would rust from being in a more humid environment. It's not made to be exposed to moist air like outside or in a bathroom. Good luck to you.

Yes, just make sure to clean and rinse it with fresh water to prevent corrosion.

I used the product for something totally different than advertised for... but... we lived in an old house and used steel wool to stop up holes to thwart mice, the wool will eventually rust completely, how fast depending on humidity. Copper would last longer. We eventually used expanding foam, but you have to be careful of the amount used or it can warp wallboard. I think this product would probably be great for rodent inhibitor. Me? I unraveled it to use for copper 'yarn'... go figure

This fan is powerful enough to be used outdoors, but like anything made of metal, it will eventually corrode. Being black in color dirt or rust will not as noticeable.

Hi, Yes, it should be fine. Tube says "Weather and water proof" I love it and use it for a sure hold on all kinds of things...even glued a metal soap dish on bathroom tile so as not to have to drill holes thru tile! Still holding 8 yrs. later.

I'm not sure about keeping out rain or how it would do outside. I might do well on both accounts, but it's hard to tell. It does have some metal inside in the open/close mechanism. We use the bucket for kitchen scraps to take to the compost so it is slightly moist inside our bucket and so far there has not been any problem with corrosion of the metal. But don't know what would happen if there's lots of rain moisture. Sorry I can't be of more help since I haven't used the bucket outside. It's such a good price, might be worth a try. It sure is a nice can for indoor use.

Exposed metal would certainly be subject to corrosion. As to the plastic covering, I can't answer that. Probably best to contact manufacturer and local code office.

I have had trouble with the spigot. You have to open the top so that the spigot will work but it seems to jam up. I have pipe filtered it but it doesn't work like I would want it to, it should be metal. With that said the rest of it is great I just use the spout instead. It is really great for aging it really smoothed out the high and low spots

It is made of painted metal so it should be safe to keep outdoors. The only problem I see is the potential for it to rust

Yes, we have used it on metal only so far and it worked very well on gutters and other household metal.

No, it will not harm old pipes, but it will clean old waste that is in the pipes.

Chrome doesn't rust or corrode. The core material is plastic so there should never be a rust problem.

I don't see why not unless it is a very shallow bath. Added to the heat-retaining properties of metal, the water might get too warm and encourage excess growth of bacteria and other nasties. Conversely, fully heating a concrete bath in a Northern climate is a bit out of their range.

I believe that this is recommended for a metal water container. Although it only heats the water enough to keep it from freezing, the base does get quite warm. It might melt a plastic waterer. I was really happy with the quality, and it held up well during last winter, even when rain and snow blew on it.
