I want to install an electric water heater in an interior closet. Code requires a T&P valve discharging to a drain but there is no drain available and it's a long way to the outside of the building. Is there an electric water heater equivalent to the Watts 210 valve for gas water heaters?

I'm trying to repair flush valve on an old american standard one piece low profile model. The valve has one of those balance devices made up of two plastic tubes at right angles, one sealed and full of air, and the other open on one end and drilled on the other. What happens is, the toilet...

I have new bath and kitchen faucets with too much flow. They both have non-standard aerators (foreign made). Does anyone know if there are inline flow restrictors I could install between the angle stops and supply hoses? Where could I find them?

I live in a 43 year old townhouse condo, where my main (cast iron) sewer runs past a tree in the common area which frequently clogs the line with roots. Problem is, I get no warning it's gonna clog until my guest bath toilet overflows. The toilet is the lowest open drain in the house. Since I'll...
