    Reinstall Drake water tank

    One of the tank bolts is leaking on my 10 year old Drake toilet. I’ve ordered a new tank seal and new tank bolts. When I installed this ten years ago I remember the tank gasket didn’t want to compress all the way. The tank would always shake a little. When the tank bolts are fully tightened...

    Cartridge Puller for Delta 1700 Series Shower Control

    I unclogged my sink today. The blockage was a little past the wall. The fittings are old, and won’t seal now. And the p trap is backwards. Can anyone tell me the correct fittings to connect from the end of the glued pvc fitting to the sink down pipe so I can get the p trap going in the right...

    Fixing a sprinkler system made of PVC. I purchased some Oate CPVC glue instead of PVC. The can says it works on both, but the glue was kinda lumpy. The lumps seemed to go away when I stirred it. Is the CPVC glue ok for PVC? Thanks!

    Washing Machine water hammer
