    Condensate pump recommendation for Alpine Burnham 80k btu?

    I currently have a Utilitech Pro(UL-AC-pump). It still pumps after 9 years, but last night I noticed it kept running constantly which tells me maybe the float is sticking. So I assume it will burn out if I dont replace or fix. Problem is they dont sell this one anymore and I believe I stayed...

    Which kind of hangers for back of stud 1" copper pipe?

    Thanks guys, I didnt know the j-hooks work with copper. And I thought the Oatey suspensions were just for pex. These sound great, thanks. Injust wish they made them a tad longer to allow for ½" insulation. But these will do nonetheless.

    Which kind of hangers for back of stud 1" copper pipe?

    I need to run a 1" copper domestic water line horizontally against a concrete wall and be as close as possible. Originally I had 1½" kindorf with clamps, but i need it closer to wall. The run is only about 6ft. I was thinking copper split ring hangers and drop-in concrete anchors with...

    Adding an additional washer drain and ejector pump to main sewer header.

    Thank you for the reply. I do in fact have a septic tank ***AND*** a cesspool, "septic tank/cesspool". I guess I confused things with the forward slash. 1) According to your diagram, is my existing plumbing wrong because there is a wye fitting on the verticle where the two toilets tie in...

    Do plumbers generally test residential PVC drains for leaks?

    So I've done a fair share of attaching PVC together with primer and cement. Recently I have done some PVC drains in an apartment I'm building in the basement. The kitchen sink drain was a little odd since I had to 45 around a concrete jog in the wall. It was a tight spot and while inserting...

    Is this a "compression" inlet valve?

    Thank you. When the valves are off, water is getting past them still. I was thinking to just replace them.

    Is this a "compression" inlet valve?

    Hello. Just curious what I'm up against if I remove this. Dies the copper end need to be flared or is it just a compression ring or something that comes with the valve, that goes over it? Thanks

    Is there an electric water heater that does both domestic and hydronic?

    Sorry, I forgot where I posted this question. I had already installed a separate meter. So yes, I am looking for tenants to have a separate bill. I would run gas, but that involves another gas meter and more work. I'm not interested in electric fintube because I don't want the hassle of...

    Is it ok that I did a sink drain this way before I close up with drywall?

    Thanks Wayne. I updated my drawing I guess before you commented the second time. So I'm 100% clear on the immediate venting to clear the window. Now that we know it is 48" sill, I just want to be clear of the configuration it should be if I don't do the 45° vent. Can you draw that please?
