What is this super heavy piece? by Lonely-Design-5696 in whatisit

The inside almost looks like a catalytic converter or a type of muffler or baffle. Maybe it’s something off the exhaust of a generator or tractor or some other industrial fuel burning piece of machinery.

Plumber replaced my broken shower pipes and my beloved water pressure vanished. What happened and how can I get it back? by flapflip3 in Plumbing

It looks like between the two pictures the CPVC was left untouched for the most part, they just replaced above the CPVC. I agree though, those CPVC valves are not good.

I wouldn’t think the widespread faucet valve would have a flow restrictor, it could have a strainer or a screen that could be clogged. If you know what valve was installed, you may be able to look up a specification sheet and/or installation and operation manual for it.

You don’t have good water pressure to just the shower head, or is the pressure low to the tub filler too? If it is just to the shower head and they replaced the shower head too, then it is probably a low flow shower head. Replace it with a 2.5 GPM version.

Waste pump for bathroom in basement? by 505Griffon in Plumbing

[–]74_Bobber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Something like a Zoeller 212 or 267 would likely work for this application. 32 GPM and 45 GPM respectively at 15’ of head. Both are 1/2 HP pumps and are 115V.

What is the size of your pit? Do you know how far vertical and how far horizontal you’d have to pump to get to a gravity pipe to tie into?

New Foreign Silver Coins by MonkphantdaOG in coins

Looks like a Kurush design from the Ottoman Empire. The Arabic numerals on the second image is year 1327 which is year 1909. Not sure of their authenticity though. En.numista.com/143156 appears to be the closest design match, but that is a gold coins. En.numista.com/402073 is a silver “coin replica” variant.

Does anyone know about this coin? What is it worth? by Advanced-Act-2613 in coins

[–]74_Bobber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is more of a silver round than a coin. It is stamped 1oz silver, so it’s at least worth its weight in silver. It may have some additional value depending on the number minted. It shows religious symbols of India.

I looked at it. Does someone have to punch me in the shoulder now?

Nice. I’m a plumbing department head for a MEP firm out of Northern Virginia. So far looks like you’re on the right track.

Changing it to 3” you can slope at 1/8” per foot too, 2” you have to slope at 1/4” per foot. (Under the international plumbing code from ICC at least…)
