    Domestic Hot Priority

    Thank you so much for the reply and info!! The boiler is set at 160 and I understand the need to protect from scaling temp. The only real concern are sinks, as all showers have thermostatic mixing valves. We've had this setup, except for the mixing valves, since we purchased the house in...

    Leaky Brushed Nickel Nipples

    I’m finishing a bathroom remodel and am, having a problem installing the supply nipples for the water closet and lav. I have drop elbows in the wall and am using 1/2†brushed nickel nipples with 1/2†brushed nickel threaded angle stops. I’m having difficulty getting tight joints. I’ve...
