Preach…

I didn’t do it as often offshore because we didn’t use flare fittings… I used mostly Swagelok, and some Parker fittings… If it was going subsea, Swagelok, Parker was for surface use in my book, and only if I didn’t have the appropriate Swagelok… which didn’t happen often…

We probably kept 150k to 250k worth of inventory at all times, from -3 to 2” plus… depending on the system…

Now soldering wires laying on my back under a dash, too damned many times I’ve forgotten the heat shrink…
