why are you replacing them? If you have a stem-shop in your area, if you pull the stem from the shower valve, they can likely match you up. You might get lucky at Lowes (they have a decent selection). the lavatory? if you pull the lavatory, you may see the mfg. name embossed on the bottom side...

The water heater has an expected life of 12-15 years. But yes, if you replace the anode every 3 years, you'll likely get 30+ years out of a 6-year heater. The anode is the only difference between a 6-year/9-year/12-year warranty heaters. Get a long cheater bar. Those anodes are a muthfucker to...

good rule of thumb...if it doesn't perform like new, throw it out. The potential leaks just ain't worth the few dollars you might save using sketch product

I don't know that draining the heaters is going to do anything to help. But I do agree. TURN EVERYTHING OFF. use fans to ventilate the area. If the odor goes away, then it's related to the equipment. If the odor is still there, it's not related to the equipment. Isolate the problem. In that...

Get that pressure to between 60-80psi. DO NOT go higher than 80-psi (per code). Manufacturers look at the code as their minimum standard. EVERY SINGLE FIXTURE in your house is built to handle 80-psi. Once you go past 80, you have no warranty on anything in your house.

Just break the freakin’ panel and replace it with an actual real access panel that you can...ACCESS.

the flange doesn't look cracked. fuckit. use that flange as-is

I did a service call today for a military veteran. This lady lost both of her legs at the knees. She is also missing both hands. So she has some difficult challenges. So she uses WIPES because it is difficult to clean herself after using the restroom. As a result she uses A LOT of wipes and it...

Wow! I've been out of touch. Terrible to learn that terry is no longer with us. He was a hell of a great guy. He MADE A DIFFERENCE. The world is poorer without him in it.

Yeah. Those Honeywell gas control valves suck balls. If you look up error codes. Damn near every single error code says the exact same thing (REPLACE GAS VALVE). I freakin’ hate those Honeywell valves. There are some guys who say you can reset them with a 9-volt battery. Yeah. maybe one in 20 you...

If the contactors are stuck in the on position, it means that pump may be destroyed. TURN THE POWER OFF GO TO THE WELL HEAD AND CHECK RESISTANCE Here's a handy little video published by grundfos.

It's a little bit of a jumble, but I don't see any reason it won't work just fine

take the plastic cover off your pressure switch. CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE POWER (USE A METER). If you have power, take a non-conducting piece of plastic (like an old toothbrush) and push the contactor (when you push the contactor, you should see a tiny spark and hear the pump kick on and...

The more I look at this, the more it looks like you're getting in your own way. It may be easier just to cut it all out and re-pipe the entire area. I'm really not a fan of the upside-down tee; the split rubber seal the tight space you're trying to fit everything into.

Wait wait wait. Dafuq. is that duct tape

looks a little like a mess. I like your idea using the combination. What sort of room do you have under there. I think cleanouts are great, but you don't have to install a cleanout. The toilet flange is your cleanout access. just pull the toilet. If there's room to work, sure. we love cleanouts...

I'm an old timer. I am not familiar with Metwood. Send us a link please. I just bid a job to install a full bathroom in large attic. The floor joists are only 2x8 and I'm going to have to drill holes through about 12 joists to make it work. So this metwood product might be exactly what I need.

Cut the galvanized pipe. Remove the union. Unscrew the union from the female threads Unscrew the galvanized from the female thread Screw in a male adapter on each side. The brass will act as a dielectric. I would cut back as far as you can and get rid of as much galvanized as possible Just use...

you can pull vent off the lavatory. Catch your shower. And then connect into that 3" stack. The lavatory will wet vent the entire fixture group. That's easy. What I'm more concerned about is you drilling giant 2.875" holes through every single floor joist and then sectioning back together your...

homey don't play that. I've been doing it THE WAY WE ALL DO IT since forever. "Gosh darn golly" that nonsense
