RedWood, how do you do it? Lots of these posts make my brain hurt, and I feel my IQ going down each time I read one.

Sounds like you have a gate valve, and you snapped the stem when you turned it off. The valve needs to be replaced.

This forum needs a thanks button. I am the same as Redwood, I like to inform my customers where the shut of valves are and educate them about their plumbing system.

and now click on the MSDS sheet link on that page. Here let me post if for you. MSDS for Thrift non acid cleaner which btw is the same link Redwood gave. Now read halfway down the page posting it just in case: Yes it is not an acid, but a caustic Soda, its the other extreme on the PH...

Never seen one like that before. I have a feeling that might be an optional port for a hand shower. With out being there to investigate I can not really help you. Sorry.

Oh I was not picking on you Redwood, was just pointing out that the codes dropping the stand requirement is a bad idea.

I do not think they should drop the requirement of a stand in a garage just because of the FVIR heaters. Yes FVIR is supposed to prevent the flame inside the heater from flashing outside the heater, and safely burn off the flammable vapors within the water heater. There is a few things that is...

The way we check for leaks is: Place dry newspaper under the piping Fill sink with hot water Drain sink and watch newspaper for drips If there is a noticeable leak fix it and repeat steps 2 and 3 till all leaks are fixed If there was no noticeable leaks the first time you do step 3...

Agreed, but I have a feeling most here will not attempt to install the ones with the selector, since it is not a typical big box store valve.

What that is called is a pop-up assambly. Easy enough to replace. It has broken off so you need to replace the whole thing. Here is a couple break down images for you. Just go to your local hardware store and buy a new one.

Good eye there. Grohe, Kohler and many others have the same warning. Just did not want to go digging for the instructions.

Hello everyone, I came across this site from a link on a different forum. Thank you to those that have already welcomed me. And let me apologize now for some of my posts might come of a bit harsh. I have nothing against someone doing their own plumbing, but I do have something against...

Well the manufacture of the tub and shower valves do warn you. Here are two different faucet manufactures instruction manuals. I took a picture off the warnings from. Do not feel to bad I know lots of plumbers that have made the same mistake. The only difference is they corrected their mistakes...

Well thank you for pointing out the restrictions will be lifted after my 5th post. And thank you for getting the post up for me.

I made a really good post here for you showing you a picture of what your sillcock looks like and the breakdown of what a frost free sill cock looks like but I guess I am not good enough for the mods to approve my posts.
