    Radiant flooring under natural stone

    Oh never mind. Your doing natural stone. It's for standard flooring only I believe. :(

    Radiant flooring under natural stone

    The best system I have seen is the Warm Board subflooring. It has all the grooves cut for your radiant tubing and is covered by aluminum for maximum heat transfer. It is a phenomenal system which not only gives you maximum heat transfer but maximum efficiency as well. Check it out online. :)

    hot water heater - hot water venting outside from mixer valve

    Ya you shouldn't need the numbers as it is not part of the hot h20 heater. Your plumber may have it in stock or may have to run to the supply house but either way relief valves are a simple fix.

    Or you could have your plumber replace the valve for you.

    hot water heater - hot water venting outside from mixer valve

    I live in Maine so we don't vent anything to the outdoors because it would obviously freeze. Ya if it has a vent it more then likely a relief valve. Call your local plumber and see if its required to have a relief on the hot side as well as the one on the tank. That is not required in Maine so...

    hot water heater - hot water venting outside from mixer valve

    Never mind I don't believe it's a back flow preventer. It actually does look like some kind of relief valve but like I said I'm not familiar with that style.

    hot water heater - hot water venting outside from mixer valve

    That's not a mixing valve. If it were a mixing valve it would have 3 pipes attached to it. 1 pipe would be cold 1 pipe would be hot and one would be the mixed water. That looks like some kind of back flow preventer though I haver never seen or used that style so I'm not 100 percent on that...

    Who solders like this?!?

    Homeowner special is what we call it. See that crap all the time. Looks like whoever couldn't get the water out when they made that attempt.
