I got the hex … love the way they feel building decks … one less thing to worry about! Roger on the hole depth and blowing out! Thank you. All!

Oak - so local Lowes has the apathy version with stainless ring. I got 2 1/4” (3/16) Tapcons - is this suitable length? The 1 3/4” just seemed a bit short?

Thanks! What length/size tapcons do you use ... I'm assuming philips flat head?

Hi All, I continue to have the occasional split PVC flanges in a couple of rental houses - pita to notch and remove and reglue only to have the same thing happen a couple of years later ... and, yes, I try to tighten the nut appropriately - not overtightened. I don't do a lot of this type of...

Rental house that tenants just vacated ... I think this must have been like this for some time ... whoops can't post video ... when filling the Corky valve sounds like an angry goose, maybe even an elephant. Anyone run into this, before? And, I worked on a couple of other issues over a two...

Confirmed with Rinnai that parts are 5 year, but labor only 1 year. They also confirmed the new controller is the 601 series. They fellow I spoke with did not know if the LED on the main control board inside the heater had the ability to provide fault codes. I've reset to allow 140°F...

Hi All! Subject tankless installed in 2018 - so may still be under warranty. When I bought house two years ago, I reset to 140°F using dip switch process. The inside, wired controller (MCC-91-2W) stopped working two days ago (lights went out) - grabbed the manual, did some online reading...

so ... moved big dresser in next room and found awful oath job - very likely repair made from the back - supply lines from under slab leaking and terminated somewhere, then pex run in attic and down wall cavity into under sink area? Still some mystery though regarding where the lines were...

Ha - yeah, the house is of the era (1988) when PB was used - and then replaced - just trying to figure out what happened here so I understand risks :-)

Right - though I noted that in first post on the thread.

Sorry, meant polybutylene ... I'm familiar with it's story of woe. yep - I may try and revisit (owners have to approve) and take a look - market pretty hot now, so less flexibility than usual market times. Thanks!

But, this is PEX pipe? (poly was always gray - and, to my knowledge never color coded?)

My son took the photos while I was checking other things - didn't know till got back last night - would have done, just that. I was kinda thrown by the fact (I think) that PEX crimps are copper or plastic, and cinches are usually stainless ...

Attic - but, I can't find without destroying walls where this starts ...

Hi All, Haven't been doing many home remodels recently, but found a place I might want - couple of odd things, and have some concerns with supply piping. At least one bathroom has copper supply out of the back wall under sink - and toilet supply pipes are visible as copper, as well. House...

Bump? Someone must have installed these - opinions?

Hi All, Finally getting to short hairs on the shower - started new thread since the question was pretty simple and unrelated to actually plumbing, but more to product. I installed a Moen 3669EP bar and handheld a few years ago and like it - if I remember, chose it because it had good ratings...

Eight hours and from what I can tell, 50 psi, still.

Update - pulled off looking for the leak (there MUST be one cause it bleeds down) and started locating the sprinkler heads ...found four of eight valves - all well underground with only a round plastic access tube and cover (all buried, some as much as six inches into clay soil). Got the...

Out of town couple days ... Found new Flotec 7100 tank same size, but with plastic fitting so built support for the end of the tank and mounted until I can get a csv. Tested old one with air pressure through Schaefer valve ...just blew straight through ...big surprise Now takes 30 seconds to...
