    Gas Water Heater Help Needed

    I had a Bradford White gas water heater installed about a year and a half ago. This morning I noticed the water was not very hot, would only get luke warm. I checked and the pilot was out, I attempted to re-light the pilot with no luck. My water heater has a electronic control, which looks...

    Gas water heater/Furnace combo

    After two days I finally heard back from the customer (guess I should've waited a few more minutes before posting this thread). The customer provided the manufacturer information, Apollo HydroHeat, which would qualify for both our water heater and furnace rebates.

    Electric water heater help

    Hj, I didn't figure any plumber would do so, it was a shot in the dark... I was able to find someone selling a Kenmore Economizer 6, 40 gallon Table top water heater. According to the seller it was purchased by his father-in-law and never installed. I was lucky enough to get the seller...

    Electric water heater help

    My electric water heater sprung a slow leak at beginning of last week but was still providing hot water. I had decided to put in a gas water heater based on the long term ROI and because I would be able to add other gas appliances in the future (dryer, range, etc...). I began contacting...

    Gas Water Heater Assistance

    My best guess is that it is at least 7 years old. My wife and I purchased the home 2 years ago, the previous owner purchased the home 5 years before us. From speaking to some neighbors I was able to determine that the original water heater burst and was replaced by the original owner (2 owners...

    Gas Water Heater Assistance

    Thanks Jim and Bison. It seems like Bradford White is the way to go, all of my other research has, for the most part, indicated they made the best product.

    Bathtub drain problem

    Is this (bending soft copper) still done today in new construction? Just wondering, my home is circa 1978 - I can see where other bends were made, but they are not as drastic in their angle and not collapsed.

    Bathtub drain problem

    Problem solved. I ended up digging down until I found the horizontal drain and breaking the overflow and waste arm drains loose from the it (it either wasn't glued together or the glue wasn't very strong because I barely had to apply force). I then started from scratch and constructed new...

    Bathtub drain problem

    Well, I was hoping I was real lucky but I haven't been so far. The tub shoe, waste arm and tee are ABS. The overflow pipe is comprised of PVC (with the exception of the piece that meets the bath tub - it's ABS). All of this is held together by glue/cement.

    Bathtub drain problem

    First allow me to clarify, the tub is merely sitting in place, it is not yet secured and no finished wall is installed, just 2 x 4 framing and insulation. My question is does anyone know if someone makes a flange extender (or an extender for my threaded drain stop) or will I have to redo...

My question is do they make a flange extender or an extended piece that screws into flange (i have one that is brass - threaded inside and out - that came with my...
