    I will be replacing the line from my house to the septic tank in a few months. The current line is made up of short tile sections with hubs. The line is probably broken somewhere or has sank, as it plugs every so often. The length of the run is about 60 feet. I will be using schedule 40 4"...

    Tempering Valve

    I just installed a Jacuzzi whirlpool tub. To help fill it, I would like to install a tempering valve at the hot water heater and raise the temperature of the WH. Right now the water is set around 130 degrees. By using the tempering valve, I can use the existing (40 gal) WH that is only 4...
