adapters

I'm working with a 1982 tank, still in operation, and wanting to change the anode rod. Can I use the electric element ports instead? However, the original anode is not coming out at this point, it's too late by a decade or so. It's a Rheem Solaride 120 tank, with two unused element ports...

In my situation there is not enough room between the galvanized fittings to cut and have a stub big enough to use a no-hub adapter. I am working with a 1-1/2" waste line. I am wondering if I can connect one side of a No-hub adapter over the female portion of a galvanized fittings (maybe use a 2"...

I want to adapt my pressure gauge to the female lower end of the house side of my gas meter adapter, sometimes called the swivel adapter, but mine is straight. As you know, it has sort of a female union connection but with a rubber gasket. I tried fitting the male side of a black iron union...

We have a well and our waterline going into the house is 1.5 inches. Our interior water lines aren’t 1.5 inch so that’s why I’m thinking I can use an adapter to 1 inch. We don’t want to drastically lose water pressure though. Please let me know your thoughts and if it’s advisable.

I can find all kinds of brass pipe fitting adapters (NPT or tapered threads) but I need to GO FROM a diverter valve on a bathroom faucet with a 1/2" male straight thread nipple (so I need a 1/2" female straight thread on one side of my adapter) TO the female end of a garden hose (so I need a...

I am trying to setup a temporary shower in my jetted tub while I rebuild my standup shower. I hoped to simply add a diverter valve to the tub faucet via the screw in aerator but the tub faucet aerator is much larger than the standard sizes available. The aerator OD is approximately 1-3/32" and...

I installed a Toto Vespin, with the adapter allowing it to be installed with a 10” rough in. During the installation I noticed a greater than normal amount of sewer gas venting from the closet bend. I plugged it with wadded newspaper while installing. After installing the toilet we began to...
