The fitter size looks close to 8.5 inches

Hampton bay model. Cannot find replacement glass shade anywhere. Would appreciate any interesting ideas to salvage a DIY glass shade without having to gut and replace the entire unit.

My patio roof setup is similar to this one ^ involving pvc panels and wood beams for support underneath. There are pipes running over my roof for a solar installation. I need to get access to them. How can I walk/step on these panels without damaging them?

Thanks for all the input. I will give the sealant another try once the weather improves and see if that works.

The water seems to be seeping through very slowly, doesn't look like condensation although I initially was hoping that it was. And additionally, it happens only when it rains; first time around it collected quite a bit of water in less than a few hours. After I put in my round of sealing (which...

It is on the downhill slope.. it slowly seeps and accumulates as one droplet at the exact edge of the most downhill point of the tube circle (under gravity). As I mentioned earlier, i tried to seal with a polyurethane roofing sealant, but the rains have been non-stop and probably there was no...

Hmm... I disconnected the flexible tube that acutally connects down to the ceiling to better spot the leak. Not sure if your comment would change considering this additional detail.

I went up there and took a picture. Not much rain now. The outer view shows two lines: red -- tube joint with the roof flashing (there was some kind of black seal which looked worn out, which I what I attempted to reseal), green -- there is no joint there but there is a hard rubber gasket on the...

It was installed by the previous owners. I think definitely 10+ years old. Can't seem to find any name on it either which is not helping. I don't have a helper around, so, it has been hard doing any kind of live testing on it. Water seems to be dripping along the outer edge of the rubber...

Hi Guys, Wanted to get expert opinion to see if I'm on the right track on this one. I have 3 pictures that shows the inside and outside. It seems to be a flashing on top of which the sun tunnel tube is mounted using 4 screws. There is a hard rubber gasket that seems to holding the tube down to...

I found this picture from http://www.diyadvice.com/diy/plumbing/prep/plumbing-codes/ Can I get away with replacing the rusting iron ring or would the pipe on that side need to get replaced too? My first pic does not indicate that the galvanized pipe itself is rusted, only the ring connector to...

Thanks for the reply. I have attached another pic (sorry, i need to get on a ladder to get the pics, and most are ending up out of focus). This pic shows there is a flange (or bolt) attached to a copper pipe. On the other side is the iron pipe which is attached to this flange via another iron...

Hello All, The picture is of a flange that connects an iron and copper pipe (hot water heater) which has started leaking a few drops. The rust seems to be on the edge of the flange and the iron pipe. The flange is probably soldered to the copper pipe side(?). I would appreciate any opinions...
