Thank you Terry, I won't worry about not being able to tighten this. One less thing to think about before this day is over. Yay! Jeffrey

Hi Everyone, I installed a Premier kitchen faucet (see link) today that I will supply the water to tomorrow. It was wierd because the braided SS supply tube that came with it fit so far up in the base of the faucet, you can screw them on but you cant tighten them. The business end of this...

Howdy All, I plumbed my double bowl sink with a 1 1/2" direct connect center waste outlet. Is it OK to connect the dishwasher wye next and then the p-trap. Or should I have used a DW wye tailpiece on one bowl, a tail piece on the other bowl into the center waste and then into the p-trap. The...
