Does this work on galvanized pipes?

Yes it even works on PVC. I have not noticed any great changes.I also bought their contaminate water gauge and checked when I installed and 3 mos later No change at all in the readings.

Yes it works on every type pipe - place on main water pipe, however, if you have well water you need to put one on the hot water pipe - on water tank - on the out going pipe. They really work, have noticed a huge difference in water, even tastes better.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you are asking if this works on most grease fittings, then yes it does.

You must buy a drive cap and drive couplings. Since the drive cap gets pounded pretty good I used a short sacrificial nipple with the drive cap and threaded that into the drive coupling. Driving directly onto the galvanized pipe can ruin the threads with a couple of off center hits. Then I just backed off the nipple and added the next section of pipe, coupling and then the nipple with cap. Good luck!

Hello John, yes, it will work on both metal and PVC pipes as well. I copied and pasted the information below about what the manufacture says about this heat tape: ***(From the Manufacturer UL and CSA approved electric pipe heating cable designed to prevent water line freeze up. Ready to install, grounded cord and plug, thermostat controlled, with pilot light. Recommended for use on metal and rigid plastic pipes. Exclusive Press-To-Test button test cable before installing! The built-in thermostat turns cable on at 38F. Reliable low wattage design uses up to 70% less energy than other cables and protects to -50F! )*** I hope this helps answer your question! :)

My answer would be it probably would. I'm assuming your preparing a liquid for human consumption? I took a metal class in college and the galvanization process is a to drip the formed metal into a negatively charged metal solution. So,best not. Plastic, although not perfect or stainless would be a better choice. Idea,...You might line it with a safe plastic liner. Hope this helps. G L Roberts

Yes, it can be installed on PVC, copper, iron or galvanized pipe up to one and one half inch in diameter.

Yes it can. From page 4 of the manual: "The ClearWave can be used effectively on any type of water pipe; galvanized, copper, or plastic." I would also suggest the following:1). If you have a sediment filter on the line coming into the home, place the ClearWave on the Output side, esp. if you have Well Water.2). Get your water tested for hardness first. The Maximum Hardness that the ClearWave will effectively work on is 425 ppm or 25 gpg. My water was tested at 16 gpg and it works great!Hope this helps.

I don't know for sure. Contact Rust-Oleum, they should know. It did work on metal but porcelain may be different.

It has worked on any metal or plastic I have tried it on. Be sure that the area of repair is properly cleaned.

I've used it on the pvc in pool plumbing with great success. Under high pressure as well. If the skimmer is the right kind of plastic it will do the job for sure.

I used the high temp of this Automotive Rustoleum on the galvanized pipe for a wood burner and it worked ! it on

This is designed for use with galvanized metal waterers, never use with plastic ones!!!

Yes. Unfortunately it is only a very thin galvanized coating over steel on most of the parts. I dip mine in peanut oil to keep the rust under control. They work fine even when rusted if kept oiled.

This is designed to thread onto a threaded nipple, usually brass, not to attach to a copper pipe. If you are using copper, then would would need to solder a threaded fitting on to it to attach this faucet.

the addon is used to aid in the bending near a wall to get your proper bend usually bending down or close to your wall .here is a link to part of your question .I don't believe it will bend plumbing copper due to it being so rigid without it crimping it in some manner. I have this tool to use on hvac copper which is soft and not as thin.Not saying it can't be done though. Tube Bender Reverse Adaptor

Yes, but it's basically grill paint.I used it on the bare pipe and over wrap,No complaints.
