Ok, thanks! I guess I was over thinking it. Seemed to me the higher pressure line would hold back the lower one, and not allow mixing. I appreciate the feedback. Nick

Terry et al, I am fabricating a simple faucet from copper pipe in a rustic bathroom remodel. I have a handwheel style stop for the hot and cold. I did this because I thought ball valves would be too easy to turn on full, so I thought I could control flow better this way. My real question is...

Thanks guys!

Anyone have a link in the forums here that I can read about shower mixing valves? I'm looking for a quality valve that won't break the bank...though quality is of higher concern to me. Brands I have been steered towards: Pfister, Grohe, Hansgrohe Any links like Terry's toilet reviews? Thanks...

Yes sir, that is legal here. I have a few circuits wired that way. I also have plenty of room for the breaker....however, my original question was for recommendations on a 120v WH ... I realize I would have more options and probably be happier with 240v if I had a higher demand, but I don't. I'm...

I didn't run anything less than 12/2, which is what this circuit is. I thought about running 240 but for what we'll be using it for (mostly washing hands) I figured the 120v circuit would be fine. Any good little units out there? Thanks so much!

Thanks Terry, thanks to everyone who replied. I hired a plumber because I wanted the job done right. Yes, he stubbed out PEX, but I still think the job was clean and professional. I asked, because I read about the copper stub out. He left me all the stop valves to finish the job...I just...

Hello - I am finishing a bonus room with 1/2 bath / powder room and a bar that will have a sink. I was looking at small water heaters and thought I had it all figured out but would appreciate your input. First, everything is wired (120v dedicated) and plumbed. I was looking at the Ariston 2.5...

Hello - I had a professional plumber rough in my plumbing a while back (over a year) in a bonus room I am finishing. It has a bathroom (toilet and sink) and a bar (sink and small water heater location...I have a question about the wh I will ask in another thread). Anyway, he stubbed out...

Terry or other, I bought one of the Toto toilets you recommended. I had a flushing problem (frequent clogs from previous toilet) and figured I needed to upgrade anyway. I took the old toilet off and found a transition from flange to soil pipe which now I know probably contributed to the...

Thanks. Waste is not that big an issue though hoping to use one vent for both sinks and toilet. Ive read using 1-1/4" pipe for sinks gives me 5' to vent 1.5" = 6' etc. Toilet will be main line into main trunk with sinks likely to 'Y' into it. Is the distance in pipe length i.e incorporating...

Hello, I'm roughing in a toilet and two sinks in the upstairs of my shop. The sinks will share a common wall (one in bathroom one for bar). I will have a small WH (4gal) that will likely be in a cabinet under a sink. I have 3/4" PEX stubbed in downstairs wall. I figured on installing a...
