    Delta 1500 shower cartridge replacement

    I have a delta 1500 shower, I just used the Delta Faucet RP32104 Monitor 17 Series Cartridge Assembly to upgraded to a 1700 series. I use the skinny washers rather than the double washers. My temperature control arm feels a little loose and the body has a little bit of play. Is this because I...

    Leak on brass joint on Rheem water heater

    Thanks Reach4 for your comment , I had tried using a braided hose connector last night but found that it does not lock down on the washer/Gasket so does not seal it and leaks on the crimped part of the connector (if that makes sense) The unit is Rheem RTE 9, my wife found the manual...

    Hi LLigeta, I changed out the O ring and stopped the leak but then played with the screw and some how busted the screw head clean off, To be able to have the water back on I had to use a normal bolt and pretty much cut a new threads in to the Hydrocharger/ventur as I hunted at every pumping...

    Thanks LLigetfa, for all the education I think I might replace the Tee so I can have the draincock off the back of the Tee as there is not much room any where else is it worth putting a pressure relief value in as well ? I just did a fast update to my knowledge of pex and read up on the...

    Hi LLigetfa, Thanks again for all your help, I need to go and pickup some larger pipe wrenches as I don't have any thing big enough to get on to the 2 nuts either side of the venturi. Any recommendations for cleaning it ? I was thinking a air hose and a water bath or some vinegar. Must...

    I wanted to also see what it would take to replace the pressure gauge while I was doing the above. I turned off the pump and drained down the water and and had a play with the gauge but looks like I will need take off the pressure switch to be able to fully unscrew the pressure gauge. (What a...
