valve

Good afternoon, I removed my older post since I resolved it, but now I am having a question with wiring solenoid to zones. I have two valves in my back yard, each has 2 zones (4 zones total). My question is how to I wire the 2 zones to the solenoid? I currently have the 4 zone wires, the common...

Hi everyone, Homeowner in distress here. I have two questions: I am trying to remove the cartridge that is stuck in the handle (see picture). How can I remove it without breaking it? How can I find a new handle that would be compatible with this particular type of cartridge? I am trying to keep...

Relatively newbie homeowner of an older 70s home with a pump and compressor tank and two hoses (one large, one smaller) that go down to the well. It's noisy, when the pump kicks in, sending out a high-pitched whining noise that can be heard on the 2nd floor. Not great water pressure and loud...

I'm trying to replace the gasket (part #7 in the diagram), which I have except cannot figure out how to remove the lower valve housing. Does it need to be rotated counter-clockwise or clockwise, or just pulled out? Seems to be stuck and I'm worried I'll break the lower plastic legs connecting...

Hi folks, I have a single shower mixing valve that doesn't mix any longer. I've removed the cartridge but can't identify it. Been to 2 plumbing supply stores and no luck there either. Going through previous posts, it looks like a Sayco or a Aquabrass cartridge to me but I'm not sure and I...

To preface this, I just purchased my first home. This is my first post and I really hope you guys can help with my problem. I'm pretty new to general home repairs, but tend to be pretty good with general DIY so long as I do some research first. My new home has a gas water heater. There seems to...

Greetings everyone. I have a house originally constructed in the 1950's in Southern California. There is a shower valve that is leaking out the stem that I want to replace. I am fairly handy and want to tackle this myself. After reviewing available replacement valves at the local Ace store I...

Hi everyone I am currently trying to help my mother with a leaky shower. It's a one handle shower with no spout. From all the videos it sounds like I just need to change the cartridge; however, there are no identifying marks on the valve or on any of the products inside the valve. I've taken...

I am trying to replace an old shower valve after a remodel. It is a single handle valve. I have not been able to find any similar looking ones online. Can anyone tell me what brand this is so I can buy new parts? Also do I still need to take out the white plastic piece and other pieces before...

One of our toilets started leaking (I did the food coloring test and found it was leaking into the bowl). I replaced the flapper a couple of times but it's still leaking. Probably because the toilet is old and there is no flapper valve seat. You can see the inside of the tank here. The flapper...

Does anyone know if these are shutoff valves? (pics attached) They look like they could be but they also just look like bolt covering things. I moved to Switzerland and would like to replace the kitchen sink faucet, but don't want to go turning things that should not be turned. The green...

My problem is a zone that will not turn on via controller, but will turn on manually. For some background, I have an older home that came with numerous irrigation issues (controller was dead, valve diaphragms damaged, broken heads). Replaced controller, two backyard valves, and two front...

Has anyone dealt with this kind of leak before (please view short video that I have shared here)? My plumber is slammed for the next few weeks, and I need this zone running. So I'm willing to try my hand at fixing it, but I'd be grateful for a experienced opinion (or three) as to what supplies...

Hey everybody I've got another question for the amazing people on this forum that will hopefully be easy for one of you experts to answer as it will hopefully be just an informational adventure for me. I've recently replaced the temperature pressure relief valve, expansion tank, and auto air...

Hi, I have a home in Florida built new in 2013. I've noticed after a long, hot shower if I then open the hot water tap in the kitchen, it starts out extra forcefully for a few seconds, then goes back to normal pressure. This made me wonder about something... In my previous house (also in...

Hey! Love the forum! I need help Identifying this valve. The plumber said it was a Delta, but at the plumbers supply store, they said it wasn't (Plus they didn't have the replacement) I want to replace it because it's leaking and also get a new trim and handle. Any help? I appreciate it!

I a trying to shut off the water to a dripping water heater and the ball valve (pictured) has a line of corrosion or something around it that is keeping the handle from turning. Any ideas how to turn this sucker off?

I have 48000 grain Fleck 5600 SXT water softener about one year old. I see that after the BD cycle the float valve is stuck in up position. I also did not see water being drawn into softener during BD cycle since the water level in Brine tank never went down. During the BF cycle there is no...
