My cartridges (HW only)and aerator screens are clogging with what I assume is scale. The attached photo is what I pulled out of the hw side of the Roman tub filler. This seems to be a recent event and I swear it coincided with a fire dept response on our block. Any recommended course of action...

I just installed a dishwasher in our catering facility and pushed our existing elect. 40 gal hot water heater over the top (large 3 compartment sink and HE laundry also). We figured this would be the case. I was thinking I was just going to get a larger HW heater but then thought maybe just...

electricity is magic...black magic ;)

red and black didn't even disconnect these wires during the process. replaced the breaker and it worked fine (doesn't mean I did everything right, but it seemed to fix the problem)

bad breaker it seems

I just tidied up a 200amp service panel that's been fine for several months but the wires were a mess (unorganized and crowded). A double pole 30amp breaker on the dryer however tips immediately now. the common trip thingiy (bar) popped off and I noticed that only one side was...

It was the ceiling nailer for the drywall up against the pipe....god bless the reciprocating saw. :) thanks though

We just put up drywall today on the first floor covering the abs stack that has been open and in use from the second floor bathrooms for a year. I took a shower to wash off the drywall dust (cleaning up after the crew) and there is a loud (very) popping sound coming from the drywall right where...

Terry redone with the 2" line to the sink but now another plumber suggest that the 90 to another San T is a real no no and it needs to be done as you described in #3. theseplumbersarekillingme. ;) ;)

it's baffling! (it's always good to get the bad puns out of the way before lunch)

I'm afraid I don't know the difference. How's it configured (can't seem to google it up either)

Thanks Terry I assume that I need to still have the cleanout above the cross and a vent up from there as well as a vent coming up from the sink T. And can I do the sink line in 1 1/2 abs since no DW?

calif pilot, I don't know about wrong when it comes to plumbing but here's something from my county health folks Date: August 8, 2005 Decision No. 05-001 Subject: Dishwasher Drainage Discharge Piping and Airgap (Johnson Tee) Code / Section: 2003 UPC 807.4 Decision. The PVC extension of...

In Seattle, where high loops don't give the inspectors the warm fuzzies I'm doing a kitchen w/ granite counters and I don't want the airgap on the counter and I don't care for filling the hole with a soap dispenser after final. So I'm back the the Johnson Tee (which I haven't installed in...

Yet the case in point is that the luxury fixtures of Roman tub fillers w/handshower attachements are all not PB. In fact as far as I can tell there is no deck mount tub filler w/handshower made that is PB.
