valve

Hi, I'm new to home ownership and I'm hitting my first speed bump! I'm replacing an old Moen shower trim and want to put a nice bronze shower trim in. I've done about 5 hours of research and I know I'm making this much harder than it should be and thought maybe someone here can give me some...

Can anyone tell me what this part is and how to use it or adjust it? I have a circulator pump on my water heater for instant hot water. There are two of these devices--one on either side of the pump. There is no water flowing through the pump after I had a new water heater installed. If these...

My outdoor shower valve cartridge and bonnet cracked. I was able to get a replacement cartridge and its installation seems straight forward. However the Speakman cartridge directions are not the best. The cartridge seems to have to be rotated before installation in such a way as to have a...

We have what was originally an Ultimate, purchased ~15 years ago, that's had its valve and flapper replaced with the Gmax versions over the years. Most recently, the valve started leaking instead of fully shutting off. This was a TSU18A from 2012 (I started ordering parts online before they...

Cleaned out once and worked better going to try again on one of my two toilets that are about 12 yrs old Blue top Toto Power Gravity fill valve 1.6 gal/flush toilet, the replacement top at HD wasn't the right version. If a 2nd time isn't a charm what is the best valve to replace with...

We purchased a house last March and in July, our well pump died. We had it changed and ever since, we get air in our water lines after the sprinklers run for a while. We didn’t have the issue before, we installed the same 3hp submersible pump and the same controller box. The water level is at...

Hi all, I've been hoping to replace all the dated, tarnished, chipping etc trim/fixtures in my bathroom with new fixtures in a soft brass/brushed matte gold color. I wanted to start with the shower trim, since the bonnet covering the handle is cracked & it looks pretty bad. I unscrewed the...

Navien CR-A 240 Tankless Hot Water Heater installed in 2010. Making an unusual clicking sound as heard in linked video. Has anyone heard anything like this? Sound appears to be coming from inlet flow adapter/flow adjustment valve/flow adjustment v/v pipe. Noise begins at 00:15 (sec) in video...

This steam valve on a convector is not closing when pressurized and needs to be replaced. The problem is it is in a very tight spot and I cannot figure out how to remove it. Any help is much appreciated.

i have a hydronic radiant in-floor heating system. It’s actually partially heated by solar but that’s probably not relevant here. Several zones are not heating although the electric actuators show ON. I believe I must have some sticky valves but can’t find any maintenance info on them. The...

I am attempting to replace an old Kohler, single handle shower pressure cartridge and mixing cap. You can see the parts here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GZU9FY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Unfortunately, when I took the cap off... and exposed the pressure regulating...

Hey forum! Need help identifying shower components. 1952 block home in Tampa Bay, FL. Sprung a leak, again. Washers have been replaced twice, so we think its time for a new stem or cartridge (probably need a water softener too). Not sure what the difference is between a valve, stem, and...

The old refrigerator was removed and a new refrigerator was installed. The issue is: The shut-off valve was turned back to the "on" (open) position once installing the new hose to new refrigerator but no water is coming from the pipe. Does anyone happen to have any recommendations?

The trim said DELTA on it, but I'm not sure what kind of valve it is.de

Sorry if this question has already been asked. I am a homeowner, not a plumber, but I am responsible for acquiring all my materials. "I" am building a walk in shower, with a shower head and a hand held shower only. I purchased a kohler shower head kit on clearance at a big box store. It is for a...

I have a steam shower and so it has a vapor barrier under the tile. I need to replace a valve cartridge which controls the water volume on my shower (regular water shower, independent of steam system). These are Kohler Purist valves. When I take off the trim work, there's an opening for...

Over the last few years my aeration guy has managed to find all the valve boxes curiously scattered across the yard by the guy who installed this system. By crushing the covers and leaving 6" holes in the yard I think I've located all 8 of them. Now I'd like to replace the covers but I'm...

Hi there! I'm having a strange issue with my copper water piping in our cellar. We are on a well, so the water comes in and is split, with one side going to our filtration/softening system for inside water and the other side going to the outside faucet and irrigation system. The side going...

Hi - I'm new to the forum but am in need of some guidance. I am trying to connect a 1" MPT manifold outlet to a valve with a 3/4" FPT inlet. Any ideas on how I can do this? I've looked through various plumbing catalogs and there doesn't seem to be such a thing as a 1" FPT x 3/4" MPT adapter or...

This shower valve has me stumped. It's a Delta Multichoice with stops. The top one in the pic is just a diverter. I installed the cartridge for the valve (grey and white cartridge) and it won't shut off. When it's turned it off it just runs and runs. I saw a thread here about this from a few...
