    old McDonald deep well jet pump

    If I do pull the old pump will the water stay in both lines for the most part? Will I just need a modest amount of water to prime the new pump? Rich

    old McDonald deep well jet pump

    Don't they attach larger pumps to the motors as the hp increases? I assume you could find no details on McDonald .. Rich

    old McDonald deep well jet pump

    It is 1/2 hp motor and 2 pipe system. I assume if the well is 175 ft deep it is a deep well pump. The pump is very old..I hope you can find the details so I am able to replace it with the proper pumping capabilities. I just need to know how deep this model was good for. Rich

    Shower faucet drip a lot while showering

    Actually my wife thinks she wants brass so the probability the whole thing will go..On that subject what would be you normal process for removal? I obviously can't use a pipe cutter in that confined area..Or can I just get brass trim, shower head etc and keep this valve? Dick

    Shower faucet drip a lot while showering

    One screw the handle came off..2 screws the decorative cover came off then that is what you saw..it was very simple. Maybe there to more to it on current models..This one is 30+ years old..I didn't touch the guts of the valve. No functioning parts were removed except the handle. Dick.

    Shower faucet drip a lot while showering

    I took it apart so there was no confusion on what I had..so I could provide a picture. Must have taken 2 minutes and not being an expert or I'd be giving answers rather than asking, wasn't sure where the diverter was located. Yes I should have called it spout and not faucet.

    Shower faucet drip a lot while showering

    I have an old Delta tub/shower control. All of the water isn't diverted to the shower head when showering. On this type you pull the plunger on the faucet to shower. I have no model number to search on but I took a picture you can view at http://home.comcast.net/~richandellen/DSC00844.JPG...

    bathroom p trap wall pipe

    I have no idea what length I need..hard to visualize when I haven't seen these respective parts put together..I just don't know how I can tighten nuts or whatever is used to seal the p trap to the adapter behind that wall with such a small opening.

    That threaded opening is really 1 1/2?? Even thought the chrome trap is advertised as 1 1/2 it is quite a bit less.. Dick.

    bathroom p trap wall pipe

    It looks like the material is lead..inside the female threads.. I can't use a propane torch? Please don't laugh... The plastic adapter will be behind the wall?? Where can I send my check I really appreciate it.. Dick.

    How is the new trap sealed to the new adapter? There are no threads on the chrome wall waste pipes I've seen.. Dick.

    bathroom p trap wall pipe

    First thank you very much..This is a very tight area for hack sawing.. Are you saying to cut the part that looks like a 6 pointed nut? It looks like the female thread is part of the nut looking thing..so I'd cut from the inside..right? What would that plastic male adapter be called?? Sorry...
