    silcock leaking

    I believe that gasket or packing is broken. I can't get it out unless I shut the whole water in my house out. I just want to replace the gasket. Will the Mansfield work? Thanks.

    silcock leaking

    I have silcock(anti siphon frost free) leaking. Water leaks out of the valve. I have replaced the gasket of the stem in the other silcock valve. But I can not figure out which brand this is. Only thing I can read is ASSE 1019-A. I guess it is some of standard not a brand. How can I buy...

    cauking at shower drain stall

    Thanks Jimbo. Here is the picture. I applied the caulk on the bottom of the Oatey stall. After I tighten the nut from the bottom I applied the caulk around the stall on the fiber glass floor.

    shower drain flange replacement-help

    I'm back. I just got a quote to replace the stall at about $300. He said the pipe has to be cut. I guess it is right since there is no way to get the big nut out unless the pipe is cut. But $300. I'll try by myself first WITH your help. My P-trap in on a wood rail(?). It is hard to...

    shower drain flange replacement-help

    Thanks. The pipe is a little bit titled to one end. Should I fix it first before I install a new one or push a gasket round the pipe? I can push the pipe hard to be in center so I can install something but it goes back to its position. I worry that it will squeez the sealing one side...

    shower drain flange replacement-help

    here is the picture yes. It is not glued nor thread. There is only one ring(sleeve) around the pipe. I wonder how it works only with the sleeve. Is it possible that the installer forgot something or cauking around the sleeve worn out?

    shower drain flange replacement-help

    I found tons of water leak to my crawl space. After a quick test I found that the water came through the shower flange. I found that there were a gasket (about 7-9 mm thick) to fill out the gab between the 2" pipe and the drain flange. I'm not sure what is the best that I can do. I visited...

    replacing bath fan

    My current bath fan generates a lot of noise and I figured that the motor inside is not tight to the frame. I want to replace the bath fan. From a brief research, I think I have to go up to attic and replace the fan from there. I measured the fan (7 1/2 x 9 1/4) but could not find same size...

    Replacing silcock valve

    Thanks for the reply. I just moved in this hous a month ago. I did not know that it was broken inside. I'll not leave a hose on it anyway. The question is that how I can seal the valve and the pipe? soldering? Isn't it just for tightning? The sillcock valve I saw usually had tread at...

    I found that one of the frostproof valves has a hole inside of my house. I can see it at my crawl basement. When I open the valve most of water drops to the basement. I found it after tons of watering to my garden. It's too bad. I think the valve has been soldered. I wonder if I can...
