    Does each leg of a 220 line have to have the exact same voltage?

    Thanks. So, it is acceptable to have it running this way?

    Question about a neighbor’s water leak

    Yes, I agree with you, but I'm still puzzled about the source of the leak. My question was, if the leak is from an underground pipe and under pressure from the main, wouldn't it leak constantly and not start and stop from time to time?

    Question about a neighbor’s water leak

    No, she has no sprinkler system, and there is no garden hose connected to the front of her house.

    Question about a neighbor’s water leak

    Hello, For several days, we have noticed a small pool of water standing in a flower bed at the front corner of our neighbor’s house. The house is single story and on a concrete foundation. We have never met the neighbor, and we feel that the neighbor might resent us attempting to interfere...

    Am I supposed to use a metal washer inside the tank or not?

    Am I supposed to use a metal washer inside the tank or not?

    I now want to apologize to all of you, especially WJCandee. I now see why I wouldn't want a rubber washer directly under the tank. Even though the two rubber washers wouldn't be touching each other, I now see that if the rubber washer under the tank were to wear out, the metal washer and nut...

    Am I supposed to use a metal washer inside the tank or not?

    hj, thanks for your reply. When I said that I bought a second kit, I didn't mean that I bought a second kit with bolts and metal washers. I simply bought a second kit which contained only 4 rubber washers and nothing else. I didn't elaborate on the second kit, because I was simply trying to...

    Am I supposed to use a metal washer inside the tank or not?

    WJCandee, I don't understand why you are saying that if the rubber washer under the tank degrades, that it could affect the rubber washer inside the tank. The two rubber washers don't touch each other. They would be on either side of a thickness of porcelain. How could one rubber washer...

    Am I supposed to use a metal washer inside the tank or not?

    I didn't say that I was going to put an ordinary nut against the rubber washer. My question was whether I should have a metal washer against the rubber washer underneath the tank.

    Am I supposed to use a metal washer inside the tank or not?

    Thanks Terry, Well, it really wasn't a case of what they gave me. I bought a kit that had four rubber washers, four metal washers and four nuts. Then I bought a second kit, so that I'd have enough to put a set under the tank. The only other question that I have is this: Should I use a metal...

    Am I supposed to use a metal washer inside the tank or not?

    WJCandee, Thanks for your reply. I understand what you're saying, and now I completely agree with you about not using a metal washer inside the tank. But I still have a question. I don't understand the function of the rubber washer under the bowl. If, for some reason, water should penetrate...

    Am I supposed to use a metal washer inside the tank or not?

    Hello, I'm getting ready to replace the washers and bolts connecting my American Standard Cadet 3 tank to the bowl. I just bought a tank bolt kit at Home Depot, and the guy there said to use the metal washers on both the inside and outside of the tank. In other words, he said that the metal...

    Question about toilet flange extender

    Jim, Thanks for your reply. I'll take your advice and use the thinner extender and the thicker wax ring. But what I don't understand is how I would have been able to get the flange on top of the finished floor. I'm not a plumber, just a novice. Was I supposed to be able to remove the...
