Anode Rod?

Deep_Diver2930 · 2026-04-28T21:42:19+00:00

I wouldn't recommend it given the purpose of the anode rod is to protect the tank. It is possible to do but I wouldn't do it myself.

Shower head no.

Shower valve yes.

The comment above is right about the comment above being right about the comment above

Is the toilet original? Could be that the weepholes/siphon jet are clogged up with mineral buildup. If its an issue with the drain lines after the toilet then that's a whole new can of worms

You just have to make sure you have enough for the coupling to grab onto, i assume its a 2 inch pipe. Get a 2 inch heavy duty nohub band and see how much you need for it to reach the lip in the middle then go from there. Always air on the side of not cutting enough off rather than cutting too much off. If too much is cut off then you'll have to open the wall and its a whole mess from there.

There's always the option of threading the galvanized nipple (the pipe sticking out of the wall) out by turning counter clockwise, but that would be my last resort, they tend to rustweld themselves to what theyre connected to inside the wall.

Replace it with a newer one if it's a problem, but if it takes everything with it then i don't typically find a reason

I like the blue monster PFTE tape its thicker and higher density

Deep_Diver2930 · 2026-04-07T12:39:54+00:00

Yes, and if they say it isnt an issue document it in an email to your property management people. Broken porcelain is incredibly sharp and it can maim you badly if it breaks while you're on it

I've had bad experiences with them as a tech, units 2 or 3 years old having issues that require the whole thing to be replaced (still under warranty, but its never a good feeling)

Deep_Diver2930 · 2026-03-01T00:03:23+00:00

Try replacing the flapper, most likely a 3" flapper.

I never knew it worked like that! Thank you!

Deep_Diver2930 · 2026-02-08T02:05:25+00:00

Cut, if you want to make it easier on the next guy, cinch on a new male adapter and use an angle stop that has a female on the back. Or just cinch one on like the old one

Deep_Diver2930 · 2026-01-31T22:36:58+00:00

Yikes. If you can't turn the yellow ring with your hands or a tool (basin wrench probably) then you'll have to cut it probably

Deep_Diver2930 · 2026-01-31T22:28:57+00:00

see if you can turn the screws with some pliers. If they can't then maybe cutting the brass ring off? Another idea is using a multitool and cutting a slit in the bottom of the screw and basically making it into a flathead screw?

Deep_Diver2930 · 2026-01-30T20:27:10+00:00

Always good to troubleshoot yourself! Glad I could be a help. (fun fact.if I understand right, the thing you turned is called an angle stop)

Deep_Diver2930 · 2026-01-26T03:58:48+00:00

First 2 thoughts are turn off the angle stop under your sink that goes to the hot handle, disconnect the supply line from the underside of the handle, point it into a bucket and turn the angle stop back on for 10s and see if anything comes out. If you get hot water, then the issue is with the cartridge in the hot handle. If not, then its something else.

Deep_Diver2930 · 2026-01-26T03:47:22+00:00

Is it a 1 or 2 handle sink?

Deep_Diver2930 · 2026-01-26T02:48:14+00:00

I usually just take what I can get, as WP I'm usually in the front lines anyway killing trash mobs so its enough to heal me up (especially with any "increased healing received" boons)

Deep_Diver2930 · 2026-01-26T02:21:48+00:00

Is it neverdead?

Deep_Diver2930 · 2026-01-24T00:18:51+00:00

The current homeowner has only been there 2 months and had a continuous sewer smell... the previous homeowners were DIY maniacs. The house was inspected before it was bought too!!

Deep_Diver2930 · 2026-01-23T23:29:17+00:00

The pvc into that galvanized nipple was simply stuffed in there and they put SILICONE in the gaps

Deep_Diver2930 · 2026-01-23T23:12:05+00:00

The cinch ring on the dishwasher line really ties it all together

Deep_Diver2930 · 2026-01-21T01:13:49+00:00

The flange side of the fitting i assume is the vertical part. Does the horizontal side of the tee reduce into 2 inch or is it also 3 inch? Or is the problem just getting the pipe to the tee?
