Thanks to both of you for confirming what I suspected was the problem, as well as the course of action. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Hi Guys:

This is what my faucet looks like:

I had it unhooked for a little while doing a...

I hate McAfee....

Great info, guys. Especially appreciate the photos, Terry.

Who gave me the avatar?

Please enlighten me! I take it the ferrule does not compress into the OD of the pipe in the same way a swage fitting does? If so, it seems like it would be easy to take it apart.

Is there a...

It is funny you mention it. I was just think maybe I could cover the slight reveal of copper with a section of chromed brass sweat extension (still can't find a source without the angle stop on the...

OK, so I bought some decorative cross handle chrome compression angle stops (1/4 turn with white H and C inserts)) for use on my pedestal sink. The wall behind the sink is white beadboard, and I...

I believe this type of stop would fit the bill:

Does one typically use an escutcheon (low profile)...

Thanks for the informative replies.

Are non-1/4 turn angle stops not gate valves? Maybe the correct term is globe valve? I had heard them referred to as gate valves by plumbers that I knew - at...

Hi Guys:

I want to upgrade my leaking angle stops (the whole house has drippy ones) and I want nice ones for the toilets/pedestal sink.

Photos:...

Funny that this was revived, but actually, that price was only for the speed control and metal handy box. The other stuff was priced separately. Yes, Ouch!

Double ouch when I could have just...

Thanks Terry. They look good to me, too, but I trust your opinion more than mine.

I appreciate the input...

I like to do things right, but it seems like closet flange extenders are a reasonable alternative to raising the closet flange. I am tiling my bath - I do not have easy access to the plumbing, but I...

That is the first step. I lived in a house built in 1890 some years ago. Wiring had been redone at some point with limited fabric NM cable and mostly Romex. The two-prong outlets were being used...

Finally got the VRUW. It is actually a simple solid state triac control:

I have a main breaker outside next to the meter. House was built in early 1990s.

Edit:

I believe this has to do with my main panel being a good 20 plus feet from the outside service...

I agree that it probably doesn't make sense from a practical standpoint. This situation would more likely in occur one room. Two lights in a single fixture and a light and a fan in another fixture...

The wires don't really add up that quickly for combination switches, because you can run 3 wire cable. A deep 22.5 inch single gang box can handle a quad switch. One 14/2 coming in (2), two 14/3...

Not sure about the code, but the microwave can be a huge draw. We used to trip our breaker all the time before it was on its own circuit.

I can't resist taking a stab.

There were eight (8) 12/2 NMB cables entering the box.

Questions:

1) Is the box properly sized?
NO

2) What is the box fill?

They do come in 3-way. Also, you can get dual switches with presets, so you don't have to adjust the speed all the time.

Here are some examples:...

You may want to make sure that your system pressure is not overly high. I can get water hammer hammer at a variety of locations in my hose by shutting things off very abruptly....so I don't do it. If...

EDIT: I worded that badly - of course the code applies - just not sure the install would be in violation of that part of the code. Besides, you convinced me that installing the VRUW is in my best...

I agree with the point of your last post, but just to be clear, your quoted text is from the Montecito. I have the Brentwood.

Further, my manual that came with the unit I purchased (whose...

I am bent on installing something for controlling the fan, but definitely not something improper, which is why I was asking questions in the first place.

I have called Pass and Seymour and you are...
