Terry, this post has nothing to do with the above - I dont think so, anyway.

I'm having difficulty reaching the terrylove.com site except by a roundabout route. I keep getting directed to an...

You have cracks in the floor slab and water can be seen seeping through. Seal the cracks as the other guy said.

Do you have guttering - to my mind, a necessity in a freeze zone, esp. if you have...

The forum at waterheaterrescue.com site seems to have disappeared, and an email to them is rejected as a spam suspicious email. I'm a long time registered member so this is odd.

Anyone else use...

I've noticed a few posts on the issue of bonding at the water heater.
FWIW:
So. Ca. Gas have a regulation, "No Bonding at the water heater" - it's not permitted because they consider it to be an...

Could anyone direct me to a diagram/pics of a multi-head shower rough-in?

Thank you both for your replies. Sorry for the delay, I've been on an enforced absence. I guess this subject is now dead, but i do still wonder.

Tempering valves(T/V) used with residential water heaters (W/H) - aka ( i believe ) Thermostatic mixing valves.

Thank you both for replying. hj, i will answer in a while.

jadnashua, thank you for your post ref. New England code req's.
Do you have any diagrams or pics of approved N.E. installations with both fittings in place?
I ask because diagrams and pics on the...

Not sure if i grasp hj's argument, but for what it's worth:

1. the 1/8th hole near the top of the dip tube is called an anti-siphon hole ( for occasions of negative pressure ) and described as...

Just a quick resurrection for my Feb 2012 question. Any comments or opinions, because, believe me, what the country needs now is a damn good cup of coffee and a blitz on plumbing junk. Perhaps the...

jimbo,

AAMOI: how do the lyrics of "Dock of the Bay" fit in with the above post's? Just curious.

Jimbo,

With respect, I dont think that Bobby Darin ever recorded "Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay". It was Otis Redding's last song, of course. Both magnificent artists.

Back in the day, i worked as an operative for Termite companies and, i'd say, on 60% of positive inspections, water damage from plumbing was called. One morning i pulled and re-set six different,...

As mentioned above, cut/free the cu supplies, and wind-out, clean and remake the adapters - all of them. Wrap tape twice around the threads and then dope them.
Thread them back in. Before cutting...

SoCal1, your posts were enlightening about the variety of installation...

Terry,
I am from different countries so to speak, but i'm still only tom12. I go between the UK and CA. which is surprisingly common nowadays. But i prefer to be located, for forum posting purposes,...

John, thank you for the info. Thing is, I'm looking for something that i can staple "chicken wire" to, and then float over - neither of your suggestions will fit the bill.
As regards hot-mop, the...

Thank you all for replying to my question.
I had read the Palo Alto site recommendations before i posted. Because they are so comprehensive and detailed. I used Palo Alto as an example instead of...

Terry, an admin issue.
I notice that there is a tom123 registered and lumped together with me. I dont recognise his posts, so, presumably, it's not some strange variation on my part. Perhaps you...

Hi John, i didn't know that you posted on here. I'm standing at attention as i type.
