I did a shower remodel with 3/4” copper and put two unions in between the main supplies and the rest of the work. I left the wall open and noticed a very small leak from one of the copper unions. The CW Union comes up vertically and makes a 90 degree turn for a short run into the shower valve...

Does anyone know of a 20-50 gallon electric HW tank that has a 1” inlet / outlet?

No PEX. All copper. Want to know if there is an electric water heater with 1” inlet and outlet (and correspondingly sized dip tube, or if I need to replumb the hot water main some other way to maintain flow rate. Bottleneck is the 3/4” inlet/outlet on the hot water heater.

I could do that by cutting into the vent stack in the attic, but it‘s the same amount of work for me. Toilet isn’t caulked, would take just a few minutes to pull and reset.

Toilet leaking from base (where it met the tile floor). Pulled it, flange is 1/4” - 3/8” above tile floor. Replaced wax ring, replaced toilet. Still leaking. Noticed a hairline crack in toilet base…not sure if that was the issue or if I tightened the bolts too much. Replaced with a TOTO...
