"Why aren't my questions being answered?"
1 - You suck at asking questions.
2 - People would rather mislead you, or give you a BS answer. Not on purpose they just don't know WTF is going on. For instance...
Jon asks - "Well I got pipe that says nsf-pw and then it says nsf-dwv. Whats up with that? I just realized this the other day."
Dudeman has no F-ing idea whats going on and says - "thats really weird, did you paint over the pipe? Can you clearly see the writing?"
Not until Ragnarok replies can we get a solid answer - "This is not uncommon. Any pipe that is suitable for PW (Potable Water) and is pressure rated is certainly up to the tasks of DWV (Drain Waste Vent, all low pressure applications).
It's a certification of what the pipe is usable for, not a pressure rating in itself. Unfortunately, DWV has incorrectly become a synonym for "non pressure rated", which is what has caused this confusion."
Leading me to my point: If you don't know WTF is going on, don't post.
So what ends up happening is a majority of the posts on this forum are worthless, and incomplete answers which lead to tangents. If people acted responsibly and simply contributed well thought out posts we wouldn't have the clutter and bam it would be a simple Q&A.
Take a peek around and you will find that a limited few that spend the time to give solid well thought answers.
