Hi all, Thinking of getting a portable generator that runs on natural gas for emergencies (hurricanes that take out power lines). I would need to add a gas line to the outside to do it. The meter supports 250 Cubic Feet. The total BTU load of the house - if every appliance is running full...

Hi all, Ignore this post figured it out nd don't know how to delete Thanks, Greg

Ohhh..a brass 90…missed that. That’s a good idea. I only have maybe 2 - 3 inches of space between the valve and the stud if I want the valve centered in the shower - so I need to 90 right out of the valve. There is a niche on the other side of the stud. Can’t find the fnpt x pex A 90...

I thought about the drop elbow ….I just wasn’t sure if the mounting tabs would get in the way anything. I suppose I could grind them off....Just not sure why it is so hard to find these things. I feel better about the brands you sent than the other two on Amazon I had never heard of. The...

Agreed - just having a hard time finding a brass one. Might be able to find one I can sweat on - but if those two above are decent brands, I’d rather do that. Anyone ever hear of them? Efield or Xfitting?

Hi all, I've used Pex A before and have liked it. I've always tried to stay with the same brand. or one shower I was able to use all Uponor. For another I used all Apollo. I need 1/2" Pex A x 1/2" FNPT Elbow for a shower valve. I can't seem to find one other than ones with a plastic FNPT...

Just an update - the relief valve hasn't been leaking lately. It's been dry. I don't check it every day, but when I have it has been dry, so I will leave it alone. Thanks for the help!!!

Not sure why pics aren’t loading. Will try again. Hard to describe with just words....The problem is the disposal is now in the center of the sink exactly where the pipe comes out, so there isn’t enough room to come out far with anything- and the trap is to the right side of the disposal...

Hi all, Redoing the kitchen and getting close to the end. The original sink base had a double sink and a disposal and looked like the attached pic - with one drain from the disposal side, s connection for sn under cabinet vent, and one drain to the other sink bowl. We changed it to a single...

Ok. If enough of you who do this for a living feel like it is ok, then I’ll stop worrying. Thanks. I really hate to second guess anyone’s work, I just wasnt expecting to see it that way - seemed like there would be a better way to do it. But I won’t call him back or anything. Thanks!

Here is a closer pic. He also said I could leave the wall open but I feel better at least screwing some sheetrock up behind it. Again, he is the pro, I just wanted some assurance from some others that this is ok. Thanks!

Hi all, I had the gas stub out moved behind my oven so it would sit flush against the wall. I like to do a lot of stuff myself, but not gas. I had a licensed plumber come out so it would be done right . I have no reason to question it other than it looks weird to have it pushed up against the...

HI all, Been in the house for 20 years. It was built new. While I do think there is a vent stack for the master bath, the builder installed AAVs at every bathroom sink in the house. The master bath has 2 different vanities, each with a sink, a toilet, and a shower. It's been fine for years...

Yeah - best to leave it alone I think. Thanks for all the help!! It’s really appreciated!

So I don't think that switch can be replaced. It's definitely factory and the fact that I can't find replacement switches might mean it's brazed on there. I think your idea about the Tee might work, just not sure which switch is appropriate. The other thought I had was...why are we bypassing...

Here is the best pic I can get from the top. I haven't figured out how I'd even get in there yet and don't want to start taking things apart without any more reason yet. Refrigerant is Puron....I may have to let this end here. I was hoping t be able to change out that switch. I feel like it...

I took a good look at what is in the unit. It doesn't look like there is wiring at all for a Compressor Time Delay or anything that looks like that, but there is definitely wiring for the Low and high pressure switches. From the way it looks, originally Y1 went to the LPS on Yellow/pink wire...

Ok - I’ll check and see what they are like if I can get to them. But I don’t want to mess with refrigerant or anything.

Well I appreciate you expertise. Everything is in there I think. They seem to have just cut the wire. I don’t remember which was bad but wonder if I could replace it. Is it just wires or does it tie into the refrigerant line?

So I tried it It’s working as it should. Y1 straight to contactor (no switches or anything in between), y2 to cs and back to contactor but on the opposite side of where Y1 is, and the common to the same side as y2. Compressor started in on stage 1. Black compressor wire read about 9.3 amps...
