    Trap adapter question

    When installing a trap adapter how far out should I rough it in? Should it come out half an inch from the stud so it ends up flush with the drywall? Will an escutcheon cover that and the trap that gets inserted? This is will not be covered by a vanity etc. so I'm trying to get it as clean...

    Bernzomatic knob leak

    Yeah, I have a great sense of the obvious! Actually I was hoping for someone to say it happens and that I could fix it with a little tweak instead of trashing it. Oh well.

    Bernzomatic knob leak

    I have a Bernzomatic trigger valve (don't know the number) an have a question. There is a small hole in the black knob at the top. The last couple of time I've used the valve there seems to be a lot of gas escaping from this hole. Is this normal? It kind scares the bejeezus out of me to have...

    Another knocking question

    As soon as I flush my toilet a get slight knocking sound in the pipes by the shower as soon as I flush. It's not a lot, maybe 6 or 7 knocks and not loud ones. The weird thing is that it only happens as the weather has gotten colder. I don't get this in the summer! Is this just a knock issue that...
