    Moen bathroom faucet cartridge replacing

    Jerry, you were absolutely right!! I phoned Moen and they said they would sent out the new cartridge including the special tool to remove/install the cartridge. No charge to me at all. Thanks for your "heads-up'

    Moen bathroom faucet cartridge replacing

    Our bathroom basin faucet knob is very hard {sticky} to pull up. There is a "cartridge" inside that can be removed and either replaced or cleaned of any gook accumulation. I have had no experience with these cartridges, so I'm asking whether its worth trying to replace or clean this cartridge...

    I cant hear drip but there's no leak

    A little "proof reading" is needed here. There is a lot of difference in the word "CAN'T" and the word "CAN I think you meant to say........ I CAN HEAR DRIP BUT THERE'S NO LEAK

    black specks in water filter

    i have a 150' drilled well, located approx 50' from the house. The supply line runs to the inside,(basement) and enters the pressure tank and then goes to the filter.and then to the softener and then to the other areas of the home,etc.. it seems that this filter {rainfresh type} is always...

    low pressure at vents

    Yes ,Gator37 has given good advice. it's the same advice given by me and some others . Your MAIN TRUNK duct is either not large enough to supply those 25 6" takeoffs. Or it also could be that those 6" takeoffs are not required. Pehaps 4" or 5" would be sufficient to supply these rooms.. i...

    low pressure at vents

    25 supplys at 6" apiece adds up to (28" x 25= 700 inches of air. But the main is only 8x20= 160 inches. That means the MAIN DUCT is much TOO SMALL to handle this amount of supply takeoffs. You need a pro to come in and size the supply AND return properly.

    Closing off central air return

    DaveHo; Yes an NG/Propane furnace, especially one in a confined area, needs combustion air. But the amount is based on the amount of BTU's the furnace burner gives out .Example; For a home of 1500 sq ft the size of the combustion air, for say an 100,000 btu burner, would only need approx 28"...

    Closing off central air return

    most homes in the 1500 sq ft range on 1 floor may require 240-300 sq inches of RETURN AIR, but you say you have a 20x20 along with several others sized at 7x11. That means you could have total of approx 800 sq inches of return air !!!! Something is amiss here. You would be best to bring in a pro...

    Closing off central air return

    ********************************************************************** combustion air ???? (LOL) I don't think so .The poster said it is in a 1400 sq ft HOUSE, not a large MALL.

    turn furnace into a fan for summer?!?

    That is why I mentioned not to use this method in the heating season. note; there are many furnaces out there that the lower blower door can be removed with no problem being created to the rest of the system.

    turn furnace into a fan for summer?!?

    one easy way to circulate the cool air from the basement(especially if there are no returns in the basement) is to simply remove the blower door of the furnace, install a makeshift filter over this opening, and run the blower by using the T stat setting (fan "on"). Note; this method only to...

    Closing off central air return

    That statement is not correct. You do not want a return in the bathroom or the kitchen areas. Having a return in these areas simply sends any odors thru out the rest of the home.

    Return Air

    A bit of MATH may help you. A 6" diameter supply has a capacity of approx 28 inches of air. If you have 2 of these 6" supply pipes then you have a total of approx 56 of supply air trying to go into this 500 sq ft area. To obtain the best heating or cooling result this area will need at least...

    basement heating/cooling question

    Robbing one supply to feed another is not the answer. As I suggest on an earlier posting cut a 5" into the plenum,run it to the wall and transform it to a 3x10 duct down to near floor level and terminate using a 6x10 supply register. 2 of these supply runs would be best. Also install some RETURN...

    basement heating/cooling question

    You can put in a 3-1/4 x10 duct in the wall cavities if you have no room for a 5" pipe.Use a 3 1/4 x 10 to a 6 x 10 register elbow at the terminating point. Once above the wall simply transition back to a 5" round at the plenum .Use a plenum takeoff (5") and attach to plenum. In most cases a...

    basement heating/cooling question

    If it were my home I would just install 2 -5" diameter supplys from the plenum,and run them down to approx 6" above the floor level . Terminate each supply pipe with a 5"- 4x10 register boot, c/w registers.Make sure you install butterfly type dampers at the plenum takeoffs. Also, it would be...

    Splitting trunk duct into two thinner ducts?

    I agree with Hj fully. Get a sheet metal worker or fully compentent furnace installer to fab you up with some fittings to acheive this depth reduction. If I was doing this job, having been a metal worker and in hvac for 50 years, I would make these 2 transitions from 14 x 8 to 4 x 20 and back...

    HVAC Trunk Sizing

    The ONLY proper way is to use a Manual "D" in order to obtain correct duct sizes. Any other means would just be a guess and could result in a waste of money/heat. You also have to consider the size of the windows and the amount of "R" value in each of these rooms that require heating/cooling.
