I ended up deciding to purchase new. Until it get's installed, I soldered the hole, fingers crossed it'll be fine until next week. This unit was installed in 2015, my local plumber claims these are only good for 10 years in our area. Interesting the Warranty is 15 years. I'm in Canada, I hade...

I have a Rheem CRTGH-95DVLN natural gas tankless water heater. I found a leak on the copper pipe leading into the heat exchanger (unsure if that is the correct terminology) The leak is specifically at the external copper pipe outside the exchanger and what looks to be a temperature sensor. I...

I ended up using some epoxy to secure the bolts. It worked fantastic, cemented them in nice and firm.

Hello, I'm looking to purchase a Washlet C2. I have a Drake model C744SG with a ST743S tank. Will the C2 Washlet fit on this elongated bowl toilet? Thanks

Thanks for the reply, do you know if any "jobber" type ones would work with this? I'm in small town Saskatchewan Canada. Not much for local options here.

I tried attaching pictures but they won't upload. Pics are under 1mb in size.

I have a ProFlo PF9312 dual flush toilet. It needs a new dual flush tower assembly (part # PF9312FVPK). These don't seem to easy to get ahold of where I am. Will a 3rd party one from a hardware store work? If so, what kind/model? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. I'll have a look at my local hardware store for this. barring that, would Lepage PL400 be an option to cement the existing flange in place and keep the nails down?

We had new flooring installed the other day and the installer mentioned that there was an issue with the toilet flange. Before removing the toilet, I tried moving it and it there was very little movement side to side. I removed the toilet, removed the wax ring and noticed that a couple of the...

I have a Blanco sink with a now leaking basket strainer. I cannot seem to find this type anywhere. Blanco site, Home Depot, Amazon etc. Is there another style or type that would work just as well as this one?

When you mention seal, do you mean a seal between the chrome drain and inside of the tub (last picture above)? If that's the case, there was no seal there. Also when you mention plastic drain must be square... is that the under side fitting you mean? Are you able to give me some guidance based...

Hello, I have an upstairs tub with an OS&B manufactured drain that has a leak from the underside. It has had a small drip since it was installed and the area is a real pain to get into from in the basement. The drain seems to only drip when the tub is full and someone is in it. Recently I...

Hello, Upon cleaning out a wasps nest around the stuccoed wooden surround around my gas fireplace chimney, I noticed the end cap on the 4" chimney piping was corroded off. Later on I also found the larger piece that covers the overall housing buried in the dirt of that space as well. I found the...

What about instead of copper I go with the clear plastic ABS pipe for the shower head piping. If that is an option is there a 3/4 nut that would screw onto the threaded connection at the top of the shower valve (1/2 copper was soldered inside but I removed), then go to plastic ABS and then from...

Thanks for the reply, one other question. When I was soldering the collar joint I did the underside first then the top of the collar. I noticed when I was heating the bottom there was a small amount of black material that came up around the top of the collar. After getting a good solder on the...
