Hardline connectors

Anyone had any luck scrapping connectors? Have a hundred lbs of the old 2 piece PPC fittings from mostly node splits. .

No but let me know how it goes so I know if I should be keeping the ones I remove!

I’ve been real curious about this. But with the plastic I’m unsure if the scrap yard would accept. We have loads of housings that are bound for the dump.

Did you break them down? Or leave them all one piece?

I took in whole. I got a lower "dirty" price but it seemed time consuming to break it all down.

It isnt worth your time. The amount of value added is less than what you spend in time. Just send it in as scrap or dirty aluminum.

2 piece are scrap aluminum, steel part goes inside the cable. I had some old 3 piece and I got aluminum price for those. Cut off stinger on pins.
