I have a 2 handle widespread lav faucet that appears to have no set screw anywhere. (No top button cap to pry off either) Need to change the cartridge and am uncertain how to get this thing off. I *believe* its a Delta

Remolded my bathroom last year. Turns out, as feared, the new shower head and shower valve uses too many GPM to keep up with my tankless oil fired boiler. Two or three minutes into a shower I lose the hot, or pretty much the "nice and hot". Pre-remodel I would just keep the pressure low and...

I've read that it is code that an electrical box can be recessed behind drywall as long as it is accessible via a panel/hatch. Am I right to assume that is only for a plate covered junction box? I am wondering if a outlet box with a 120v 15a receptacle can be located behind a access panel...

Doing a bathroom reno in my 50+ year old home and just dry fit the new waste lines. I had copper where the Sch40 is. The builder was a real piece of work. I had trap arms sloped down and then back upwards before they went to the waste stack. There were massive holes drilled in studs and...

Can I have a P-trap that isn't directly vertical under a tailpiece for a 2" shower drain? It would need to be about 8"-12" inches away. I know with dual sinks, one tailpiece can elbow to a horizontal before going to second sink's tailpiece prior to them both dropping into the P-trap, or they...

When I would reset the primary control it would fire right back up. No puff, no smoke, no dripping. It will run until the it heats up enough hot water and then...

I need to add a low mount air combustion vent and a high mount air exchange vent, both to the outside, in my enclosed oil fired boiler utility closet. The spec stickers on the Peerless boiler state the max at 129k btu's. If I need 1"sq/2000btu's for horizontal duct that would be a 65sq in...

Just replaced my 275 oil tank last weekend. The old one was leaking and I knew I would replace it this spring when the fuel ran low. Unfortunately I ran out of oil friday and so I replaced the tank. I blew out the feed line with a compressor to make sure no sludge was in it. I figured it was...

My existing 275gal oil tank has to be replaced. Ive been in my 1974 house 9 years and this failing one is the second tank. There is an abandoned one underground in my backyard from previous owners. About two years ago it started a slow drip and I put a magnetic patch on it to stop it...
