    Tamper resistant options for 2 wire supply to receptacles?

    Minimum Slope for Heater Vent

    I'd like to develop some additional height for water heater replacement. What is the minimum slope for the horizontal run of a vent? Have 23" from ell out of heater to tee with 6" vent from furnace right by the entry into lined brick chimney. Could we go as far as 1/4" in each 12"? I'd like...

    Toto Ultramax installation advice please

    I'm 71 and not extra strong. I've installed 2 ecoUltraMaxs in the last year with no difficulty. One of the factors that helps is that the toilet's weight is evenly balanced front to back at a very convenient & secure handhold. We're very pleased with them. We would seriously recommend Sanigloss...

    How far from wall

    I'm only a DIY and my experience is limited, but I think the key dimensions for you will be 1) the actual distance your bolts to the flange are from your wall and 2) the distance on an UltraMax II from the holes for the flange to the front edge of the bowl. For instance, I have 2 ecoUltraMax...

    Kohler Rialto K-3402 toilet fill valve repair

    Less expensive valves work better for me Two of the K3402 (1983, 1985) were in the house when I bought it. Both fill valves sprayed at the top (and through the holes in the back of the tank). I bought a Kohler repair kit (about $90). It sprayed from the top. I have replaced the Kohler fill...
