    Anode Rod Replacement

    Since I am an amputee, I will not try this by hand because I know I will lose my balance and knock myself out. I tried once already, and it did not work out very well. I will get a regular air compressor (not the pancake style) and try using a pneumatic impact again. The pancake style will not...

    Anode Rod Replacement

    I made the decision that after 2 attempts to just forego doing this. Not worth the aggravation to me and I have a lot of other things that need greater attention, plus I do not want to risk damaging my tank, which I do not need to do right now.

    Anode Rod Replacement

    It does appear that you are correct with this. I never thought about this information when I first started out wanting to get this thing replaced, but you are spot on. I returned all my tools that were bought for this Rod, and decided to just let it be.

    Anode Rod Replacement

    Yes I did try rocking the trigger back-and-forth because I did that a lot when I was a car mechanic for many years. And I’m just wondering if the compressor wasn’t keeping up with the impact because it is only a pancake compressor so I may have to raise my regulated pressure up past 90 cause I’m...

    Anode Rod Replacement

    I am going with the pneumatic impact wrench because the breaker bar I used was around 20 inches or something like that and with me being by myself I couldn’t keep myself steady and it kept physically moving the tank even though it was still full of water.

    Anode Rod Replacement

    Absolutely! As a matter of fact, I have already wrapped the threads with PTFE tape and I have not even broke the old one loose.

    Anode Rod Replacement

    I would have to agree with you and I am not willing to look for trouble. I tried 2 different ways of trying to get it loose and neither one worked, so even though I was prepared tool wise for a 3rd attempt, I do not feel at peace with trying a 3rd attempt. I will heed to the wisdom of someone of...

    Anode Rod Replacement

    Yes, you are correct. This impact is above the IR 231. Thank you for the reminder of this impact, and I will look more into it, and try again. Cheers!

    Plumbers Putty vs. White Bathroom Silicone

    So it appears that the new strainer flange has a rubber gasket on it so apparently there is no need for any sealant.

    Plumbers Putty vs. White Bathroom Silicone

    I guess I used the wrong terminology, but it is not the actual drain, I am talking about the part that goes inside the tub, the strainer thingy. My apologies for the confusion.

    Anode Rod Replacement

    I just found out that my water heater has an anode rod. Since it has not been replaced in the almost 6 years that we have lived here, I thought I would change it out to preserve the life of it. Not sure of how old it is, but we are not the original owners of our home. I bought a 1/2 inch drive...

    Plumbers Putty vs. White Bathroom Silicone

    Just hatched new member, here. I have a 16 year old home that have the original one piece tub/shower combinations in the two bathrooms that we have. I need to replace the tub drains in both of them. I am not sure of the material they are made of, but I am thinking maybe acrylic, but probably...
