    Thanks for those helpful links. I do not have a gas cooktop, it's all electric.

    Backdraft damper in this Upblast Exhaust system

    So you're suggesting to install a rect damper behind the hood (the second pic)? Wouldn't that get clogged with grease? Also, what's a makeup air source? It's not like the house is super air tight so the air sucked should get replaced from wherever it is getting replaced now. I don't have pro...

    Backdraft damper in this Upblast Exhaust system

    This came with the house and I noticed there's a huge backdraft in the kitchen. I was wondering where would the backdraft damper go in such a system? The ducts go under the deck to the house and it's all buried in the walls. The range hood has this opening but there's no damper here Any...

    Sprinkler blowout using test cocks

    I'll replace it with a standard air hose fitting using the nipple & coupler as shown in my post. If not, then what's the alternative?

    Sprinkler blowout using test cocks

    I want to blowout my sprinkler system using air compressor but was wondering if I should use the test cocks or the hose outlet. I'm leaning towards using test cock #2 - which means I'll need to remove it and need a nipple and coupler to attach a air hose. Is this a good idea? If not, what...

    Sprinkler Backflow assembly - Replacing PVC with Copper

    I just called the township and they told me what I have is as per code. So yo don't recommend swapping it out with copper pipes, fittings rather just fix the BF preventer and use PVC connections - that would be quick and simple for sure.

    Sprinkler Backflow assembly - Replacing PVC with Copper

It's a 1 inch 800M4 FR backflow preventer by watts.com. - Is replacing this with copper pipes a good idea? I know it'll cost more but it'd add to aesthetics of the...

    Open Black Irrigation Line

    Ok mystery solved - I found the old plug buried in the mud nearby. It's worn out so must have slipped away. I replaced it with the homedepot plug and all's working now.

    Open Black Irrigation Line

    I tried when I said sprinkler not working but I now realize I should been a bit more explicit I ordered a simialr one from Amazon; didn't know about Dripdepot. My local HD didn't have it, although this would need Pex Clamps and then a tool to crimp, no? However, I'm baffled as to what it's...

    Open Black Irrigation Line

    When I run that sprinkler zone, this pipe spews all the water and there isn't enough pressure to pop the sprinkler head. Plus this one is like 30-35 yards from the house. It's a 1 inch pipe.

    Open Black Irrigation Line

    I discovered this hole with a non capped black irrigation line. I noticed becuase the sprinkler head next to it stopped working. I'm the new owner of this house so haven't run the system at all apart from testing it once or twice. What does it mean? Should I dig around look for a connecting...
