What is an HT-200?



All good points...I'll add the 2x4s and get r-19.

Thanks for the advice.

Shouldn't there be a code for the amount of r-value needed rather than just pleasing a guy who does not do his job right? This inspector signed the inspection sheet stating the drains passed a water...

At least I am using pex and not copper :)

Is there a code that specifies the distance that a pex crimp ring has to be from the shoulder of the fitting I am crimping to. The instructions say between 1/8 and 1/4 from the shoulder.

Called...

I don't consider it a true exterior wall. It separates the insulated garage from the rest of the house.

I have 2 inches between the plumbing and where the inside of the drywall will be. Would it...

What is the R-Value of insulation needed between plumbing and outside wall if plumbing is running in an exterior wall?

This is in Michigan.

Thanks in advance.

Just to make sure I have this right. I have attached a pic.

How do you water test a DWV system? I have completed my DWV system in my new home and would like to test it.

If I insert one of those inflatable test plugs through the clean out in my crawl and...

The economy is bad they need the extra coin!

Why not look into a sealed crawlspace? Plastic coat the floor, spray foam the walls and rim boards, and seal up the vents. Once sealed you will need to open a vent to let in a bit of conditioned...

The 6GPM is terrible. We at the end of the line in the city. Last year when I hooked up the pressure tester we only had 35 PSI, the city has been slowly turning up the pressure over the last year,...

Here's the thing. I do NOT have a meter yet. I have the old 3/4 line from the old house. This was a fire damaged house that we ripped down and rebuilt. The only thing left from the old house is...

Approx 50' from turn-off to main accross the street. I am not sure what size it is from the main to turn-off a neighbor was telling me it is 1 1/4"


I am assuming that there is a 1" meter as if...

Won't going up to 1" supply more GPM. I own another house on the same block and tested the pressure/flow rate with a tester and it showed 45PSI/6GPM, this house has 3/4".

Would the 1" supply...

On my house rebuild project I am thinking of changing the main water line from the house to the outside turn-off in the front yard. It currently has 3/4" and I would like 1"

How does this normally...

I did buy the isolation valves so that I will be able to clean it as needed.

Thanks for the compliments so far!

Not to bad for an IT Systems Administrator, if I do say so myself.

Do I need water treatment for city water? I am going to put a filter in the kitchen for the water/icemaker and maybe something at the sink. In my current home, which happens to be on the same...

Yes. It is a Takagi TK-3.

I will post more pics as I finish the install. Its hard to get pics of the full utility closet as it is in a hallway.

How is this for a nice clean PEX install? Not quite complete, but getting there. The home build is taking forever as I am the the homeowner, builder, and all the tradesmen.

I am more concerned with the MINIMUM distance from the floor. Not sure what constitutes a 'overcurrent' device, but this will all be low voltage as in cable splitter and patch blocks.

I have...

Is there a minimum distance from the floor that my media panel has to be mounted? I have a 42" Leviton Structured Media Panel which has ended up not being enough space. The current panel is 36"...

Well I guess I only need a single stage thermostat. The spec sheet says:


Dual$aver
This furnace is capable of the following heating modes:
Single Stage (Factory Setting)
Modifi ed Two-Stage...

Which White-Rodgers or Honeywell thermostat should I use for a GMH95045BX? I would like the a touchscreen model.

I am unsure which model to buy.


My big question would be: Do I need a...

I am hoping that this $700 Maytag will be quieter than the $100 off brand I have in my current home, which I do not find to be all that noisy.

I was only considering the half wall to provide a...
