    GE Water Heater Leaking

    Thanks Terry.....I'll do that....only thing is: this was dry as a bone until this morning.....seems strange to me that two leaks can start at once.....Is there some anatomy to a water heater that would cause a build up of water, or a seal broken? Either way, I'll take your advise to watch it...

I cut the power, and...

    Good morning all, I am installing a 'low end' Price Pfister kitchen faucet, Model # F-WK1-1. Single Control faucet....Installed just fine, except that there is a plastic hose connector tube, to accept Spray Hose attachment.....it should just be a simple 'push in, and connect' type setup, but...

    Top Element Electrical

    Yes....breaker is "off"......all water now drained from the water heater......I'm thinking I'm just going for the lower element, and go with the theory of "if it isn't broken, don't try to fix it".......so, I'll stay away from top element......

    Extension Pipe Connection

    My initial mistake was that I didn't understand Plumbing basics-101 to begin with.......I discovered from a trip to a local specialty plumbing supply, that what I had done was to actually cut though the Desanko, which was fit like a glove over the existing wall pipe......to make this right, I...

    Extension Pipe Connection

    Thank you......does that Desanko fitting go 'over' or 'into' the existing wall pipe? The setup previously was 1 1/2 inch pipe 'into' this wall PVC pipe.....maybe was set up wrong in the first place?
