    Grounding cold water pipe

    Hello, OK, I've been looking at this from the wrong end, I think I've "got it" now. I was always under the assumtion that cold water pipe connection was merely to supply an alternate ground - now that I understand it's real purpose, and what can go wrong, I'll certainly leave it in place...

    faucet base plate

    Hello, I have a Delta faucet that was leaking at the hot water stem - replacing the O rings fixed that problem. However, I now see that water is also leaking out from under the base plate whenever the hot or cold tap is opened. I suspect this means the faucet is shot. Could someone please...
