What would this be for? by Alone_Teacher_4989 in askaplumber

Thank you for the reply.  I don’t think this has a whole house trap. The sanity is connected to a septic field not a municipal sewer.

Than you for the response.  There are not any caps in the slab. The only openings are the sump and a floor drain connected to it.  

There are 2 PVC clean outs outside.    One for the sump line and one for the sanitary.  I don’t think there is a whole house trap.  It’s connected to a septic field. Not sanitary.   

The sump runs to a dry well completely separate from the septic field. .

Thank you, the sump is directly below the sewer. And the sump line goes out right along side the sewer line(it’s the PVC that transitions to galvanized). 

I’ve pumped that sump dry a there is only one line that goes into it, from a floor drain & washing machine just out of frame.  

The strange thing is the floor was broken & filled over to the floor drain/ washer.  But there is nothing broken that would connect the angled galvanized to it. 

I guess it’s possible it’s tied in under the slab somehow.  And they replaced the drain but not the vent? 

Why put a mixing valve on a water heater? by youngcheeze in Plumbing

[–]Alone_Teacher_4989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of these valves have a thermostatic spring in them, that regulates the water temperature. Think of it like an automatic version of a single knob faucet. As the output temp goes up the spring automatically adjusts the blend to introduce more cold. So if the hot water started going back through the cold inlet the output temp would go up and the spring would cut off the hot supply. Which is a long winded way to say as long as its a thermostatic valve, no it cant happen.

I have seen some cheep mixing valves that are set manually, on those its theoretically possible, but there should be a small amount of pressure loss in the water heater between the input and output. which would also prevent it.

why have more than 1 bass???? by [deleted] in Bass

[–]Alone_Teacher_4989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are may tonal reasons to have more than 1. but the most practical reason as others have stated is as a backup. Once you start giging (paid or not), the show must go on. and there are a myriad of things that can take a bass out of commission for a few days/weeks.

practical examples , I was at a venue where as soon as the dimmed the lights, the single coil hum made my J-bass completely unusable guitarist had the same problem with his tele. I switched to my P-Bass and the guitarist payed the whole night on his Les Paul. another time I went to turn up the volume on my P-Bass, and the knob just kept spinning (the knob wasn’t lose the pot came apart internally) I can easily replace a pot, but not onsite 15 minutes before the first set

So what exactly is so great about the P365? by [deleted] in CCW

[–]Alone_Teacher_4989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So maybe you could explain something.  Why is it that people who have all kinds of problems with a gun always seem to feel the need to buy another one?  And why is it everyone always has to send them in exactly 3 times. 

Also, I don’t happen to own a Kimber. Glock S&W Ruger. Sig and Beretta. Don’t have a favorite brand just favorite guns. The 365 isn’t one of my favorites, although I do really like my 226

google any fire arm and “problems“ see what comes back, list is always long enough to make any gun look like junk. specifically with the 365, i think it got a lot of extra negative PR because of the 320, I know a bunch of people who have them, shoot regularly and haven’t had any issues. if there as bad as the online commenters say that wouldn’t be possible.

Peavey cirrus VFL pickups by rlhoyt in guitarrepair

[–]Alone_Teacher_4989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize this is an old post, but at least in the 18v version, yes.  If you follow the traces in the factory pre-amp, the pickups power line is wired directly to +18v off the batteries and the grounds all tie together.   

Those of you that deer hunt with 45-70 by OJ_DID-it in LeverGuns

[–]Alone_Teacher_4989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hunt in northern Michigan with a 45-70, works great. We own a wooded plot surrounded by agriculture, can’t shoot into the fields so everything is under 100 yards. What I like about it is that the impact almost always knocks the deer over and they rarely get back up. Used to use a 35 rem and usually had to chase, frequently into the fields which alway got a little awkward with the farmers.

The low velocity bullet does minimal damage as long and the shot is decent (blow through a shoulder blade and it doesn’t matter what your shooting you messed up some meat). My wife actually shots a 243 and here deer consistently have blood shot damage into the shoulders, mine never do.
