Thanks, Ballvalve. I do care about legal. I've never heard of a runaway electric WH either. I've also been told there is safety circuitry built into them that prevents it. Still, the manufacturers...

I want to install an electric water heater in an interior closet. Code requires a T&P valve discharging to a drain but there is no drain available and it's a long way to the outside of the building....

Thanks, HJ. I'll look for other versions of the valve.

I'm trying to repair flush valve on an old american standard one piece low profile model. The valve has one of those balance devices made up of two plastic tubes at right angles, one sealed and full...

Thanks anyway, HJ. By the way, for some reason your reply did not register on the main forum page, just said 0 replies 10 views. Just thought you should know.

I have new bath and kitchen faucets with too much flow. They both have non-standard aerators (foreign made). Does anyone know if there are inline flow restrictors I could install between the angle...

Thanks for the reply, Chris. Yeah, it's either add a box or start ripping out drywall and flex back to the last j-box, waaaay too much work just to change out a fan.

I live in Burbank, CA where code requires metal sheathing on all wiring inside walls. I'm trying to replace a fan, but the place where the wires come into the box are on the opposite side from the...

I live in a 2 story condo with central heat/air. There is one 12x30 return at floor level on the first floor. When outdoor temps rise over 90, ac cycles normally, but upstairs is more than 10 degrees...

I have a front loader that started to get moldy, the home improvement stores and appliance stores sell a tablet or powder you can use in a load by itself to help keep down the mold. Also, leave the...

Thanks for the replies. I measured the slope at around 1 1/2" in four feet all along the pipes. We have no children, so no unidentified objects get flushed, nor do we put anything but tp down the...

I live in a 2 story townhouse where the guest bath toilet is the lowest open point in the system. About every two years, the line from it plugs up and it overflows, usually while doing laundry, and...

I have a fairly new Toto Drake. Installed about 4 months ago. Love the flush and quick quiet refill, but the toilet's behavior seems quirky.

1. Toilet stopped filling after a flush altogether....

Back to your original discussion, I have had solar assisted electric water heating, and found it to work quite well. I would not own and electric system if it was not solar as well, they just aren't...

I was gonna say, I just remodeled with a single sink and needed a longer 90 to get straight down to the trap. Had to get one designed for something else and trim off the flange so it would fit the...

The counter can hold up any sink with ease.
If there is any way to make it an undermount sink, you and your wife will like it even better. Clean up is a breeze when you can wipe the counter into the...

Do you have access to the back side of this wall, is it interior? You may be able to change the faucet pipe to fit a different faucet from the back.
If not, and all else fails, perhaps you could...

Thanks Sewer Rats and Cass. The association makes availalble once-a-year rooting at bulk rates, a measly $40. I was shocked when I had to pay $280 for the same service on an individual basis.
The...

I live in a 43 year old townhouse condo, where my main (cast iron) sewer runs past a tree in the common area which frequently clogs the line with roots. Problem is, I get no warning it's gonna clog...

Anybody?

Can anyone point me to a supplier or a local contractor to Burbank, CA?

Doing a kitchen remodel and would like to use a slot diffuser through the space above the cabinets. Space is 5.5" x 56", 30" deep. I have depth space for 18" of transition where I have much more than...
