The skirt doesn't go to the wall, so in that case, changing the valve to a right-angle one (Dahl makes one that is nice for this purpose), you'd...

How big is the tub? How many people will be showering at the same time (at what draw)? Will you be running the DW and WM at the same time as trying...

If it was wrapped "perfectly" which would be a rarity, then it could be as good as new. An underground gas line has to be tested to 60 psi so if it...

You do not need a PRV at the meter, but if the building is actually 150 below the meter, then you will have about 150 psi at the building which means...

Why are you raising the pH? You report it is a 7.4 which is above neutral. IMO raising the pH would not help. Do you have a retention tank for...

Well X Trol is the best

I have a Franklin control box that keeps tripping . This has been going for 3 or 4 days now and i only have400 gal of water left in the storage tank....

I'll look for that information. Thanks. From looking at the drawings, if the toilet is 11 13/16" wide, that gives me about 5 3/8 to the edge of...

Thanks for the responses. Responding to Dana's first post: Looks like we used about 450 gallons of oil this year. I've not kept track year by...

The drawing dimensions are 'ideal' locations (for both looks and function), and I'm pretty sure closer in will work. There are right-angle stops...

I'm running out the door, so I don't have time to look, but Terry has a comprehensive post on here that defines for which skirted toilet what the...

Actually, DON'T do the chlorine tablets. Chlorine dissolves rubber, which is why most manufacturers say to avoid them. I think Terry was concerned...

Hey guys, the flapper you suggested seemed to do it. Thanks again. No chlorine tablets, I should probably start! Thanks for the help!

Radio to install on an older siren.

Jim I have a new client in Chicago who tells me they do have Kerdi DS for sale. I was promoting the material on Houzz and they called to check. ...

Gary, thanks for the input. The furthest sink from the water heater is 15'. I did not think that was a long run, am I wrong about that? Would a...

The expanding foam insulated box is the norm for up here and it does work. It can get to 20 below zero. I am not opposed to heat taping it either. Is...

mage182- do really think sizing this one calls for a Manual-J? The minimum fire output on the ALP80 isn't a whole lot bigger than most...

Thanks Hammerlane. A good suggestion if I go down that road. Still trying to decide.

Thanks hj. Am I very unlikely to have any life left on that 3/4" pipe even if it was wrapped perfectly??.. given that it is now 27 yrs old?

It's coming, soon, primarily to pass the upcoming (January 2014) commercial steam room perm rating requirements (>=0.5perms is required as of next...

As I state in the post linked to below, in-use replaceable battery pack is a prime concern for any average homeowner. Rechargeable batteries,...

Maybe we are talking about two different things. My last round of questions wasn't about venting. I understand the bit about Pipe C being a "tub...

I'm not a pro, but I have often wondered why when folks build a building that will have long hot water runs they do not put in a recirculation system...
