...and sometimes the guys at OSH or HD who don't know what they're doing
will leave you with a big long thread where the end is cut/tapered so
far that it rattles loose in the fitting, and you'll end up firing up
the abrasive cutoff saw or angle grinder to cut a chunk off the threaded
end so that the tapered thread will seat snugly in the fitting.
Which leaves the pipe 1/4in shorter than you'd measured for...
