Packers played a lousy game. Their defense stepped it up at the end, but gave way too much throughout most of the game. Running attack from Grant was HORRIBLE. Bad time for the Packers to have an...

As in a pump for pressure?

Are you kiddin'? I can't even count threads I've steered off course with bickering.:D

I was simply "thinking outside the box" as another poster put it. Rigging something up that was on a role,...

Sorry to interrupt the feud here...:)
And as evident by some of my questions in other posts, I'm no professional, but how about using something like a electric blanket to thaw PEX piping? ...

Could be a standard direct vent as well. I'd like to hear more about th unit as well...

I could see offering a shorter warranty for the power vent, but not for everything else... I was hoping to install myself, which may be an issue trying to get a rheem or bradford white...

I've...

I just replaced the dip tube on my water heater yesterday. I was having a similar issue, and drained the tank to investigate. I saw the dip tube, and it seemed to be fine, but I replaced it any way...

Don't count the other teams out yet. Yes, it is the Pat's to loose, but they aren't infallible... Hope the Pac wins next week- I'd love to see repeat the game from '97...:) Hope Reggie's watchin'...

Man, THANKS TERRY! for running this site. My near 20 year old water heater is acting up, I've replaced the dip tub, but I'm not sure if that will fix it, so I was looking at replacements since I...

Ok Terry, you wanted a reason to pull for another team... so here it is.

I'm suggesting the Pac. I know, I know... we knocked you out of the play offs, but hear me out. Not only are they one of...

I was asked to look at my Aunt's leaking ceiling. When I crawled up into the attic, I discovered that she has a copper waste line. The original plumbers had installed it at a 90 degree angle to run...

Exactly. If the room can't "breath" moisture is held and the fiberglass insulation will mold. You're better off allowing the moisture to dissipate and use a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture.

takes you to a preview of an excellent article on damp basements. I'd recommend using...

Thanks Bob NH, your summation was excellent. Now I just need to win an expander set on Fleabay cheap... :)

Now I'm kicking myself, because I could have bought a set of ProPEX exandering heads and expander for $190 last night on Fleabay...
I went back this morning and they were G-O-N-E!

Thanks for...

I've looked at that, but is it cost effective if I don't have many 90 degree bends? Would I need different tools than for normal PEX?

I am considering buying all 1" at this point and running that...

Yeah, it reduces to 1/2" at all fixtures, except the hot water tank. I thought I'd run the next size up to each fixture then install the proper copper size for the connection.
I've heard both...

They have box "frames" basically. Lowes should have them. They are basically the shape of a box with the back blown out. They are about drywall thickness with clamps that lock it into place and...

Not sure on the pressure, but it's a 1" pipe coming into the house. It is then reduced to 3/4". Although I believe any pipe would be an improvement, I want make sure I size it appropriately. I...

I have the same issue with my Titan. I just installed it a few weeks ago and it seemed to have a truncated flush. After reading you post, I tried a second extra hold on the lever and sure enough,...

Looks good. I hadn't originally intended for you to actually cut open the wall to put in the 2x10. But it will make installing the cabling easier. That is the biggest pain in doing the whole...

In Wi, it's about $25... I bought enough to plumb my house last month and only picked it up lastweekend. I bought it at $9.48 for 1/2 " "M" and $12.48 3/4", I used a 20% off coupon so I got it for...

Exactly!

Or like you mentioned.... a 2x... Depending on the bracket, you could get a 2x12 and route the edges to make it a bit more decorative, prime and paint it and screw that to the studs,...

Terry has it right. Get yourself a sheet of plywood (birch is a good bet as noted by prashster) cut it under the size of the TV and secure it to the studs on either side of the fireplace (and in the...

That makes sense and adds another dimension to the issue. Not only is the ID smaller, but the fittings reduce even more so. I guess my question then is, would a 1" PEX give the same flow ratre as a...
