    Need to adjust P-trap - cut metal pipe?

    Thanks... I did test the "metal" pipe with a magnet yet it doesn't stick... so even though it is shiny silver, it seems not to be metal...attached are 2 more photos. It is hard to see the silver "pipe" between the black elbow and the wall (black pipe that is flush with sheetrock).

    Need to adjust P-trap - cut metal pipe?

    Just wonder how to remove the metal pipe... someone else said it me threaded into the PVC (thats in the wall) and I can use a pipe wrench. Assume then I can get a new P-trap and adjust the horizontal tube (maybe cut it needed?) so i can get the verticals to line up??

    Need to adjust P-trap - cut metal pipe?

    Unsure of diameter of metal pipe but the black P-trap has 1 1/2" written on it. I moved back that escutcheon and it appear the metal pipe is inserted into maybe a (black) plastic pipe (I can see the outer diameter of what appear to be black pipe flush with the sheetrock). Doesn't seem to turn...

    Need to adjust P-trap - cut metal pipe?

    I replaced vanity top with new sink and faucet. Home is from 1988. Seem the drain pipe from the wall is metal and protrudes maybe 5". There is a P-trap connected to it (the elbow part seems just pressed on to the end of the metal pipe as I cannot seem to unscrew it, etc.). Unfortunately...

    lost power to Toro Rain Sensor TWRS - help?

    To my knowledge there is no battery (or internal breaker) on the TWRS.... only the remote rain wireless sensor outside. Just seems coicendental that we noticed it not on afer we switch the breakers back on yet the control panel that it is wired to has power.

    lost power to Toro Rain Sensor TWRS - help?

    Been using a Toro Rain Sensor TWRS connected to my Toro Vision II controller for few years now. We had to turn off the breaker panel today to install a new breaker for my solar arrays and when we turned it back on the power to the sensor seems gone. (At least I think this was the process as...

    combining lines with a "T"? (goal post)

    I was thinking that too as I now have 10 zones and wanted to get it to 6 so saving only 4 and the costs of the valves are only ~$15/each so the extra cost is only ~$30 given the the costs for extra parts for elbows, Ts, clamps, etc. ---- and the hassle may be a bit less :)

    combining lines with a "T"? (goal post)

    The house I own has too few sprinklers on each zone and too many zones. We have great water pressure and I have tested several zones on at the same time. A landscape friend says I can easily combine some zones with a "T" fitting into 1 valve. I am about to replace the older valves as well...

    Identifying American Standard color???

    Thanks. I just realized that the sinks seems to match (they are AS as well). I looked under and saw 475/6 (model I assume) stamped in it and printed on it sys "bone". Yet the bone color at the Lowes (AS replacement lid) seemed a bit dark when I compared to my seat. Church lists brand colors...

    Identifying American Standard color???

    I have 3 toilets ~20 years old (house I recently got). They are American Standard and say 4083 S87 inside the tank. I am trying to replace the seats all of which say Church on them and they match the toilet color perfectly. They are an off-white, almost light beige. When I brought one to Lowes...
