Not too concerned on the price, although looking at the energy star ratings in terms of electricity cost it seems like it essentially can pay for itself within a few years. I am replacing a rheem unit that is electric and unfortunately no gas to look at that as an option. My basement does...

Thanks for the reply, I get the general concept of them so that makes sense, my concern was really just the location I have to work with. it sounds like reaching out to them to get some further insights on the location is my next step. I have seen some photos of hybrid units where people are...

I'm getting ready to replace my older 2010 rheem water heater as its showing signs of rust/issues at the bottom of the tank. I've been looking at hybrid heat pump water heaters specifically the AO smith Voltex HPTU-50N. I'm not partial to AO smith but I'd prefer to stay with them or Bradford...

Thanks, figured I'd check here first but yeah I've never seen those parts before. Going to call the township today to see if its their problem or mine.

Hi All, I've posted here before (although awhile back). I'm pretty good with some of the more basic stuff but this one I'm just not sure about since I've never seen these type of fittings before. I've got a water main with the meter inside my house and its started to have a slow leak recently...

I did find this, https://www.amazon.com/Genova-Products-75158S-Universal-Stainless/dp/B00AN8BJIG would this be a better option?

Thanks, I'll certainly be careful. I didn't see anything else other than plastic retrofits, even after searching online.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up purchasing this and it worked great. Haven't attached it with tapcons just yet but I will once I'm ready to tile. http://www.homedepot.com/p/4-in-PVC-DWV-Gasket-Closet-Flange-886-GP/202313119?MERCH=REC-_-homepagehorizontal1_rr-_-NA-_-202313119-_-N

Hello, I'm a newbie when it comes to plumbing and I'm currently renovating my basement bathroom (house was built in 73) I noticed upon removing the old toilet that there was on flange, the bolts were in the concrete and there was just a rubber ring and old wax behind it. The pipe is rusted...

I'm going to call in a Pro do to this one. I have no problem sweating copper pipe and doing the basics but this part is out of my comfort zone. I did not even think it was going to be a problem with the undermount sink so I didn't even consider it when I had the walls open. From what I can...

That's what I figured, ugh I was afraid of that. The other side of the wall is outside. Is there a way to just open the wall and lower where that piece comes out or is it much more involved than that? I guess I'm trying to figure out what I should be preparing for cost wise. The other thing is...

My issue is that I need to install a garbage disposal and the rest of the related plumbing for a kitchen sink. The problem seems to be that the waste line (in the wall) is too high for the sink because its a deeper under mount sink. If I tried to setup the plumbing as it is now the p-trap would...
