Doesn't it look like there's a nut on this angle stop that can be loosened? I have only ever seen solid one piece bodies on the FIP angle stops. If there's FIP angle stops with a nut that allow for adjustment without turning the entire valve body, I'd like to try and find one.

I have a toilet supply where an angle stop is threaded onto the end of a chrome stub coming out of the wall. I know of FIP angle stops, but those are usually one piece designs. It appears that this angle stop has an independent nut on it that would allow the stop to swivel to the correct...

You are a post whore Seems lately I can always rely on this site for some nice misleading and worthless information from people who think they're plumbers. too funny

Hugh? I'm talking about low watt density elements. You can get, for example, 4500 watt elements in normal watt density and low watt density. Same wattage, just more surface area so the energy transfer is done at lower temperatures and in theory produces less solid byproducts.

I have hard water with an electric water heater and thought I'd give a low wattage element a try because it was marketed as great for hard water. These elements fold back on themselves to gain the extra surface area. After 2 years I decided to pull the element to clean out the tank of sediment...

I know this is an old thread, but I'll add some more info for the knowledge base. I have the posi-temp version of the OP's cartridge (1222), but the problem is the same. Slow drip with hard water conditions. My cartridge was tight coming out, but nothing excessive. Problem was that it was...

I have the same question as the OP and reading through this thread was like pulling teeth....and at the end of this, I want to be absolutely sure that connecting the female end of a 1/2" braided connector, which has straight threads, has no issue connecting to a 1/2 male copper sweat adapter...

Ok, in case anyone else is searching, I've figured it out on my own. There is an engineering problem with the plastic Moen handle adapters. If you look at reviews online for the Moen 116653 Posi Temp adapter kit, you will see many comments about slop between this adapter and the brass shaft of...

Even the rigid 3/8" copper? I'm not talking about the coiled soft copper stuff.

hmm, i also just found rigid 3/8" copper type L pipe which may fit better. Do people use this for water service applications? I've never seen it used.

I like that idea. The back face of this vanity isn't fully flush with the wall either, so notching wouldn't have to be too deep. I could probably ditch the solid lines altogether and make that work with two braided connectors connected by a brass elbow at the upper back face of the vanity so...

I'll be going with a multi hole moen, so they will have the 1/2" threaded male inlets. I have found that just because it doesn't immediately leak, doesn't mean its reliable.

There's not really enough clearance behind the drawers for another set of stops. I do have a waste connection centered at each sink that would come through the rear of the vanity. Will probably use chrome traps since they'll be partially exposed. I can get a 30" brushed nickel riser...

Do those solid risers fare well when making 90-degree angles? I'm not sure I'd be able to get below the vanity and make the turn into the angle stop.

I am looking at a double sink vanity for the master bathroom. Of course, my wife must have a vanity with open space beneath the sinks (and a set of drawers in between). Kinda like this There are four supply angle stops that are located just off the floor and they will be just below the...

I'm curious if anyone else has any thoughts or solutions. I even have a replacement cartridge and there is still too much slop between the brass shaft and black adapter which causes the screw to loosen over time.

lol, ok guys. Got it. No other opinions allowed. We must all buy from impactwaterproducts.com.

I have a RO system from The Perfect Water. It's the Home Master Artesian with the permeate pump. I was able to install it myself and its been trouble free. It also adds minerals to the water which I found provides better water than the old culligan system I had before. Ditttohead will...

The OP's test report is a relatively basic report that says nothing about pesticides. If you have stupid neighbors who use Truegreen or nearby farms using glyphosphate, there are tests for those compounds. That said, given the general negligence of pesticide use in our country, testing report...

Many RO systems have the option for special media to accommodate iron filtration. The system I mentioned previously has such an option.
