Thanks for the suggestions but I think I have found what I need. A 1/2 female to 3/8 male reducer in chrome from Ace for $15.
hj your insults and belittling aside you clearly have no clue. But just...

I thank you for almost understanding what I have and almost helping me.

I don't have 3/8 in the wall, I have as I stated 1/2 in the wall. Yes I know that whats there, I installed it.
What I do have is an old shower head with a 3/8 female connection that I would like to...

Thanks for that 'valuable' input and complete misunderstanding of the situation.
I have a 1/2 riser behind tile, I need either a 3/8 arm with a bushing or a 1/2 to 3/8 reducer in chrome.
Pretty...

Thats what I am finding, lots and lots of '3/8 inch' thingamajigs but no shower arms!

Yes brass would be OK, but I would prefer a single piece solution.

I have a nice shower head, thats why I'm here. I don't want to spend another 100 bucks or more for something I already have.
...

Thanks, but I already considered that option, it's just a Shower I know but I would still like it to at least look like it's not a drunken plumbers left over pipe grab bag.
Chrome would be nice.

Does anyone still make one?
I picked up an new shower head about 3 months ago after the other 6 month old fell apart in my hand, today the new one came off while I was showering and busted in the...

Nothing on top other than the inlet and outlet connections.
Is BW a good brand? I know I paid a pretty good price for it, even though they claimed it was 'deal' when buying it and the new furnace at...

I have a Bradford White and it looks like the dip tube acts as the anode, is that correct?
If so how do I know when to replace it and what do I replace it with?

Excellent! Thank you for information!

So water heater 'maintenance' is not needed?

I have a couple of related questions,
Do gas heaters have anode rods? And if so how often do you replace them?
Flushing or draining the heater to remove the 'crud', is this done with the water...

Thanks all for the answers! You do a great service here!
My next question is because a friend is really pushing me to use Pex, which I'm not too impressed with but, price wise it would make things...

Am I counting back from the shut off? Because it's in the center, the kitchen is on one side of the house and the bath on the other, with the main entering right in between.
Looks like you are...

Thanks!
No plans and no room to add anything. 1 bed room, 1 bath, 1 person.
As of right now you have discribed my house perfectly, exept I have an older water guzzling toilet and I estimate 70 feet...

Thanks for the reply, I guess maybe I wasn't clear, the entire house will be 1/2, after stepping down from 3/4 at the shut off in the house. From the street to the house will be 3/4.

Water pipe...

I said that and I currently have the entire system in 1/2 galv, so it WILL be fine as it HAS been fine since 1923.
In fact it's 1/2 galv from the street now, I'm planning on bringing 3/4 into the...

Thank you!
So, 3/4 from the street, change to 1/2 at the main shut off and the rest of the house done in 1/2 would be fine then.
That is good news as I couldn't really think of a better way to run...

Hello all, I am going to be doing a complete repipe on my small 1920's house.
1 bath, kitchen and laundry, all accessible from the basement.
Currently all supply lines are 1/2 galvanized and I want...

Of course I have a trap.
I was born at night but it wasn't last night.

The smell seems to have gone away as I have used the sink more.
It was more of a 'aqua' smell rather than a musty one.

At this point why would anyone allow this stuff into their house?
I'm going to re-pipe my supply lines and I'm going with the tried and true copper.
100 years of use compared to 20? No brainer....

I just finished a remodel on the kitchen, new Kohler cast iron double bowl sink with Kohler baskets, new trap, new ABS line in the wall.
There is a strange 'musty' (best way I can describe it) smell...

Glass block wall on the curved end??

Do you ever go the one that starts with an M?? (we live in the same area)
I love those stores!!
