Hahaha, nothing grossed me out, it does my wife though, and she gets all the messy diapers it seems, lmfao. She complained the other day cause she got some under her nail the other day and almost cried. Me also working on Fire sprinkler piping all the time the nastiness in there is completely real and the smell is pretty bad. I’ll come home stained with black pipe water and rust and I have to jump right in the shower when I get home.
To get this thread back on track..... I cut some 5/16" threaded rod into Studs . and used Nuts. Easier installation.....
I’ll stick to the Stage 8 hardware. They’ve worked flawlessly for me in the past. Total piece of mind knowing they won’t take a permanent vacation on the interstate. They also have locking nuts too. Not the plastic in the end or crimped ends either. They’re just like the bolts with an e-clip.
