snoop1130 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Video: Motorists get a fountain show on the motorway Dash cam footage from Chacherngsao showed a ten meter high fountain caused by a broken pipe next to Route 7 outbound. The spectacle was at kilometer marker 50/800 near the Bang Pakong rest area. INN reported that the water authorities have now turned off the valve and an investigation is underway.

I don't imagine journalists globally would be aware of the difference - unless they worked for a technical journal. Perhaps it was electrically operated, then you could turn of the switch, thereby closing the valve - ha ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All gate valves and globe valves open counter clock wise and close clock wise. A butterfly valve is only a quarter turn to open and a quarter turn to close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
