    The spout of our pull-out kitchen sink faucet broke, and we're trying to replace it, but there's no obvious brand marking. It looks like the cartridge works on American Standard, Moen, Danze and a couple others. Inside the handle is the number 069878A, but searching that doesn't turn up any...

    Vent Pipe Undersized

    I recently discovered that the vent pipe from my kitchen sink and dishwasher is undersized. The contractor routed what looks like 1" pipe through the wall (presumably because there wasn't enough room to route 2" pipe), which then feeds into a 2" pipe that leaves the house. There is no...
