Thanks, Terry. How about my question of the sideways drop-ear elbow? I've seen several videos of Youtube from pro plumbers putting in diverters showing them with the elbow coming in from horizontal, but I don't necessarily copy everything I see on Youtube.

I'm a pretty experienced remodeler helping my neighbor rough in a Delta Multichoice 22000 valve. The plan is to have a normal wall mounted showerhead and then a body sprayer which slides up and down on a vertical bar. The trim allows for three settings: shower, body sprayer, or both. The...

I was helping my neighbor replace a vanity in a bathroom and I sent him to shut off water to the sink. Everything he tried at the PEX manifold did not shut off the sink lines! Finally he closed two valves, one of which was not labeled, and it finally worked. Once I followed the to lines from...

I was going from 1/2 inch PEX to a bar sink faucet which had 1/4 -inch steel braided hoses already integrated. So this was reducing 1/2-inch down to 1/4" compression.

I'm a part time general remodeler. I had a call back from a kitchen remodel from about 2.5 years ago. A brass reducing fitting under the island was partly split in its thinnest part (center of face of the hexagon) and water sprayed. Still waiting to hear what insurance company says. Luckily...
