Guys: I'm installing approximately 300' of 3/4" SIDR polyflex to get from the house out to the garden. I have it trenched to 3' in most places, but due to volkswagen sized rocks it's more like 2' in places. I'll have 8 hose bibbs installed along it, each about 3' from the ground. Because the...

Cool. I don't need anything so accurate. I'm just needing a sanity check to make sure my head isn't too far up my posterior. Seems like it will work out fine with 3/4" I have a question about draining the line, but I'll ask it in a new post so that it's easier to search for someone looking later.

How do I account for the 1/2" copper and 3/4" SIDR already in place? Are they linear in the sense that I can just add their pressure drop to the new work? Best guess, is doing the new 350' of work in 1" worthwhile if the existing 100' work is 3/4"? I can live with the extra cost for 1", I...

Hi: I've encountered this problem before, but I can't remember how I solved it. I'm working with an old Standard tank. I've repaired a crack in it and am now re-building it with a new fill/flush valve. The new tank/bowl gasket seems to be too thick. If I lay the tank on the bowl with the...

I know I've had this problem before, and I can't remember how I solved it. I recently repaired a crack in the tank of an old Standard toilet. I think it's 1951. The old spud and gasket were unsalvagable. Tank is stamped 195 40547. When trying to install a new flush valve, the gasket is way...
