    "normal" water pressure

    The water pressure on my house was just over 90 psi. I have installed a regulator (yesterday) and have it set to 60 psi. I was told this is the average and considered enough pressure. O.K. I know we have been spoiled by the former 90 psi pressure but it seems that 60 psi is just not enough...

    Mounting shower/tub valve

    What is the reason for not bending copper pipe? If it is heated the chance of fracture in very small. I'm in a bit of a bind on this "little" remodel. Need to "tweak" the pipe a bit. Michael

    Mounting shower/tub valve

    Danze faucets

    I am doing a "down to the studs" remodel on the master bath. I am out numbered by girls, nice, and the look of fixtures is of importance.
