    Solution to Kinked Hoses on Drain Side of Tankless Water Heater?

    Thanks Snoonyb. Are these the bend supports you are talking about? Is there a way to determine what diameter I need without removing one of the hoses?

    Solution to Kinked Hoses on Drain Side of Tankless Water Heater?

    Please see photo. The hoses on the drain side of my tankless water heater are bending and kinking, reducing the free flow of the drainage water. Can someone point me to the same type of hoses at THD or Lowe's so that I can replace them? Any ideas to reduce the bending beside supporting the hoses...

    No Hot Water - Navien NPE-210A2 Tankless Water Heater

    The Navien technician I spoke to on the phone today believes the check valve went bad. (Is that the same as "incoming gate valve"?) He told me the temporary fix was to reroute water flow inside the unit by switching a small black valve next to the gas line inside the unit from INT to EXT (see...

    No Hot Water - Navien NPE-210A2 Tankless Water Heater

    I had a Navien NPE-210A2 tankless water heater installed just over six months ago (December, 2022) and it has been working great. However, just a few days ago, something strange started happening: when we turn on a single faucet to hot water, the unit is not kicking on to generate hot water -...

    Leaking Bathtub Faucet

    I have a bathtub that is separate from the shower (i.e. stand-alone bathtub in one location, stand-alone shower in a different location). I've noticed over the past month or so that the tub faucet leaks pretty steadily about 1 gal every 4.5 hrs. It seems to stop when I turn the tub faucet valve...

    Replace 220 V single outlet with 125 V double outlet on 40A circuit

    Hi All. Just an update to close out this thread: I wanted the fridge isolated to its own 20A circuit, so I swapped out the double-pull breaker with two single 20A breakers. I rewrapped one of the two hot wires from the original 240V circuit in white tape and connected it to the neutral bus bar...

    Replace 220 V single outlet with 125 V double outlet on 40A circuit

    Thanks Eddie_T. I watched a YT video and learned more about it. I see what you are saying and yes, I have several single spares at the bottom of my panel that I could swap out for the dual breaker. I will also disconnect the proper wire and connect it to the neutral bar. All with the main...

    Replace 220 V single outlet with 125 V double outlet on 40A circuit

    Hi all. The fridge in my garage just today started tripping the GFCI outlet it has been plugged into for about a year. I believe the fridge is starting to die, but I may be able to get some more life out of it connected to a regular outlet. Next to the GFCI outlet is a single 220V outlet that is...

    The wheel falls off

    That's the kind of idea I'm looking for. The axle is 5/8" x 22" long which is longer than the axles I've found in the replacement kits. I'll look up a round piece of stock...

    The wheel falls off

    Tried that. I don't see the piece I need in those hits. Although I could be missing it

    The wheel falls off

    The service provider gave me the bin back in 2015, but they don't do that anymore. I'm on my own

    The wheel falls off

    Forgive me if this is the wrong board for this issue, but I have a large garbage can where one of the wheels came off. It requires a special type of hub that connects the wheel to the axle, but unfortunately that piece is long gone. I emailed the manufacturer for help on getting a replacement...

    Plugs for angle stops?

    Hi all. Do they sell plug ends for angle stops? I need to remove my dishwasher and just want to plug off the second outlet for now instead of removing the dual outlet adapter. Thanks

    Angle stops difficult to remove...

    I am having a difficult time removing these angle stops to replace them. Could they be soldered to the water pipe? Any tips?

    Entry Door Handleset - 7-1/2 inches (7.5") Center-to-Center

    Thanks but I think you misunderstood. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I am talking about the handleset center-to-center measurement, not the latch-to-deadbolt measurement. The SCHLAGE manual mention of the 5.5" standard is referring to the latch-to-deadbolt, not the handleset itself. See image below...

    Entry Door Handleset - 7-1/2 inches (7.5") Center-to-Center

    Hello. I need to replace the handleset (and deadbolt) on my front door. All of the new handlesets I find are 8-13/32" inches (8.4") center-to-center. This means that I would need to drill a new, lower hole in my door, leaving the previous hole exposed. Does anyone know of hardware that come in a...
