I need to add ball shutoff valves to my bathtub. Is there one brand that is better than the rest? Thanks!

One of the tank bolts is leaking on my 10 year old Drake toilet. I’ve ordered a new tank seal and new tank bolts. When I installed this ten years ago I remember the tank gasket didn’t want to compress all the way. The tank would always shake a little. When the tank bolts are fully tightened...

I need to replace the cartridge in a Delta 1700 series shower control. I've heard that the cartridges can be difficult to remove. They make a 1300/1400 cartridge puller, but it doesn't say it will work on a 1700. Do they make one for the 1700 series? Thanks!

We are going through about a week of 5 degree or less temperatures. I have the heat turned up, space heaters running, and faucets dripping. But my cold water line to my washing machine keeps freezing. Is there a way to hook up the water lines so I could drip them? I don’t want to have to keep...

I unclogged my sink today. The blockage was a little past the wall. The fittings are old, and won’t seal now. And the p trap is backwards. Can anyone tell me the correct fittings to connect from the end of the glued pvc fitting to the sink down pipe so I can get the p trap going in the right...

Basic question, but can you recommend a quality washing machine supply hose? Thanks!

Fixing a sprinkler system made of PVC. I purchased some Oate CPVC glue instead of PVC. The can says it works on both, but the glue was kinda lumpy. The lumps seemed to go away when I stirred it. Is the CPVC glue ok for PVC? Thanks!

I'm getting ready to install an NDS Slip joint pipe repair part in my sprinkler system. Is there a flow direction for the part, or can it be installed either way? Thanks!

I did a search on washing machine supply lines, but didn't get any good results. I know I need the stainless braided hoses, but which ones? The reviews are all over the place. Thanks!

I had to have my house replumbed when my polybutylene pipes failed. I now have PEX everywhere. The water main was not changed. The water pressure has not changed (75psi). First thing I noticed was my Toto toilets had a hard time stopping. I had to turn down the shutoff valve to reduce the...

Trying to join 4” PVC to 4” flex for a bathroom exhaust vent. Is there an adapter for this?

I noticed my dishwasher supply line is just plastic. Probably ten years old. Is there a brand of stainless braided supply line that is better than the rest? Thanks!

I put a new tsu99a.x in my Gwyneth toilet. It still makes A lot of noise. (80psi) What’s a good fill valve for a Gwyneth? thanks!

I have a Toto Gwyneth toilet that makes noise, and vibrates at the end of the fill. It has the tsu99a.x fill valve. Last week I replaced all the internal parts of the fill valve with new spare parts. That fixed the problem for about a week. But now the noise and vibration are back. This all...

Can you tell me the part number for the valve cap replacement? Thanks!

I need to fill a corner stud bay, 3.5 x 3.5 x 12” with foam. There is a pex pipe going through it. Everything I see is for small gaps. It needs to be safe for Pex. Any ideas?

Last week my house flooded due to a broken polybutylene pipe under the slab floor. Not wanting to risk another flood, I hired Repipe Specialists to Repipe my entire house. When the plumber finished, he said the Sheetrock repair man would be there the next day. I asked when the inspector would...

I just had some plumbing replaced in my bathroom. They replaced the toilet supply line. Should not have done anything else to the toilet, but now I am seeing wet grout lines around the toilet. I’m sure some water was spilled changing the supply line, but the toilet and tiles are dry. The tile...

Has anyone used these in a home bathroom?

I hooked up my sink today. When I tested it for leaks, I found I had a leak between the sink and the rubber drain washer. Not below the rubber washer, above it. I took the drain apart and discovered there is a small chip on the edge of the drain, where the rubber washer should seal. I’m not...
