It was another hot one out there today broke 90's and suppose to be close to 100 on Sunday but the Humidity isn't as high which is good. But this weird weather is taking it toll on the early crops, trying to get stuff dried out cause of all the rain and humidity we've had takes until after 1pm to dry enough to get it cut, I had wheat sprouting in the semi when unloading today which isn't good. Not going to be worth anything.
So is that why the pipe broke at the tee???? Is that what they call black pipe? I went to buy some for my shop and the asked me if I wanted black or hard pipe. I got what was cheap.

I cut it at the threads with a sawzall.
That was to save from cutting the good pipe.
These pipe joints were up against a wall.
The smaller 1 1/2 pipe was crushing in the jaws of the pipe wrench upon trying to loosen. When that happens its easier to just cut it instead of trying to fight egged pipe.
The leakage had caused a whole bunch of corrosion/rust and thus the pipe wall thinned.
Black pipe is fairly inexpensive compared to hard pipe which is rated for natural gas.
