valve

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...

Can anyone help me identify the maker/brand of valve this is? Trying to find a compatible trim/handle...

Hi, My husband and I just bought this house and we're trying to figure out which zone goes to which sprinklers because some of the sprinklers are fine, and other ones we need to fix/replace the entire zone's pipes/sprinklers. The valve we have is the FIMCO Hydro-indexing valve. This is pretty...

Hello: New to forum. I have an older Weil-McClain hot water boiler, single zone, with old style radiators. I noticed some of the radiators were not getting warm so checked water pressure guage. Only about 5lbs of pressure. I added water (Bell and Gossett water reducing valve) and the PRV popped...

http://imgur.com/a/JRZOP Here are pics of a shower valve I need to fix. It doesn't seem to shut all the way allowing water to drip steadily from the shower head. The shower head is Kohler, so there is a good chance that is the valve brand, but I'm not sure. I'm happy to provide any more...

while we were out of town, we had a floord in our kitchen, and aren't sure what caused it. There is a tear in the water line but the valve in the wall was also broken. My question is about the tear in the water line. There are two parallel tears, about an inch long that are clean and look as if...

System info: sub pump with check valve between water line from pump right before the tank tee, tank is a in pit that is about 6 feet from the well head and 20 feet from the house. The pressure switch is a 40/60 and is new as of the end of May 2016, the tank has recently been correctly...

Hi, first posting after a lot of reading and learning from this forum. One thing I cant seem to figure out though: My situation: I have a well pump (Franklin/Grundfos) at about 60 meters (about 180 feet) that feeds a cistern and is activated through a floating switch in the cistern. It delivers...

After seeing Terry's advice to always replace corrugated supply lines, and the info about sleeve pullers, I thought I'd replace the one on the downstairs toilet where I replaced the fill valve but not the supply line. It wasn't leaking and it worked fine so I took a good look at it. I discovered...

To start off I have had a sediment problem since I bought my home 1.5 years ago. I have a filter after the pressure tank, before my water heater etc. I have to change filters frequently due to sediment filling the filter and canister. A few days ago I changed my filter but still had a poor...

I have a leaky diverter and have been to, in person or online, maybe 10 outlets, no one can tell me. Can anyone please tell me... THANKS!

This may seem like a stupid question, but we have had some issues with our soda ash feed and I think this would solve it but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Our well has a lot of iron in it. When we have had work done to the submersible pump it's caked onto the tubing. We have had to...

Hi guys, I'm hoping a few of you can give me some guidance on work I'm doing in my new house. I have an old gas boiler that heats the main and second floor with cast iron radiators. I think the system used to be gravity fed, but has since been updated with a circulator. I am finishing the...
