I recently replaced a bunch of shut off valves in my home at the insistence of home insurer. After the work was done they wanted a licensed plumber to certify the work. I was looking for some independent plumbers. I searched and found some recommendations on Reddit. I connected with a retired...

I will give them a shot. Thanks

In the above video, @8:24, instead of pushing the button as I didnt have one, I just pulled the spout and it came off. I believe, the rest of the removal process will remain the same. Thanks GReynolds929 for chiming in. It kept me encouraged to find the solution. Any ideas on on getting rid...

This mounting system is the Delta EZ Anchor mounting. The installation and removal process is explained in this video on Delta site. My faucet is slightly different than the one shown in the video. I will explore it and start with the screw on the faucet handle and see how it goes.

Found this post on Reddit link. Same problem with me, but no solution was suggested there.

The timer suggested by fitter30 has a current rating of 15A and wattage of 1000W. This Leviton switch also has a 15A resistive rating but includes a 1/2 HP motor. Would this work?. Unfortunately I dont have the rating of the motor of the fan in kitchen.

There is only one set screw on the top side. It connects the faucet handle to the rest of the faucet body. Just above the countertop, there is a circular tapering metal ring, smooth all round.

I am planning on replacing the kitchen faucet. I looked under the sink and found that the faucet was secured like in the photograph. There is another the screw thing diametrically opposite and hidden in the above photo. How do I undo these fasteners and remove the old faucet? Also how do I...

I think I will leave them as they are. Not worth having the risk of inadequate capacity switch which could result in fire. Thanks for the inputs.

I am planning on putting in Motion activated switches in my kitchen and garage. This is in Florida, just in case it matters. In the kitchen, the switch is connected to a ceiling fan with 3 lamp fixture (currently all LED bulbs). What should be current rating for the switch? I also want to make...

Cut about 1/2 inch of the thin pipe and new one went in easily. All valves replaced in the house. My insurance was cribbing about old valves and a slight build up on some of them. The old monstrosity in the kitchen (valve, cu tubing, RO outlet, cu tubing, faucet hose) has been replaced with...

you are talking about the plastic piece on the gaskets end, right? I can remove it and put it back on. If I am not on target then arm me with the info, before I start Sharkbite stop valve I dont have to cut the entire "new" piece off. I can cut it just enough of the "new" copper pipe and have...

zoom in of the same photo

Filed it off using the edge of the file. Once I was through the ferrule, it just popped off. Doing the upstairs bathroom, The ferrule removal tool just kept on spinning, with the ferrule just at the edge of the copper pipe. Same treatment filed it off. I have problem with upstairs bathroom...

The ferrule I removed yesterday is stuck on the tool rendering it useless further jobs and it not budging. Any ideas on how to remove it and keep it from happening in future?

Before I did the one in the kitchen I replaced one under the bathroom sink. Ran into a few hurdles - Had to view Youtube video on using the compression sleeve removal. Instructions on the package were horrendous - P-trap was in the way of tool. Had to remove it. - compression sleeve got stuck...

The photo shows the cold line. There is a weird contraption on the hot line. A tee connection copper pipe is soldered to the pipe coming out from the wall. Two stop valves have been soldered onto the tee pipe structure, one goes to dishwasher and the other to the faucet. Want to cut this stuff...

I have 1.5 inches between the nut and the wall. Hope that I dont have to get into cutting the pipe. However, if I have to, then what is the correct tool for a clean cut? Also how do I add the escutcheon? The area around the pipe has been sealed with caulk/foam or whatever.

Got it. Went to Lowes to pick up the stuff. An associate told me that the stop valve you suggested would not fit on a pipe with outer diameter of 0.62 inches. Went back in with my caliper and measured the 1/2 inch pipe and OD was 0.62 in Lowes as well. Purchased the stuff and now ready to...
