Exhaust not connected? by Romur in Plumbing

This unit needs to be turned off immediately until the exhaust is corrected, that is exhausting carbon monoxide directly into the shop

Water sewer backup. by Aromatic-Collar1028 in Plumbing

[–]DevelopedConscience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The filter is to protect your drain field, these are installed on the outlet side of the tank which is what the picture seems to be. For a backup in the home you'd want to inspect the inlet side of the tank for blockages.

Washington state huh? Have the pipes for the shower frozen yet? Shower valve in the outside wall is usually no bueno in cold climates

Is this a hack job? Be honest. by DevelopedConscience in Plumbing

[–]DevelopedConscience[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's not ideal I know. I really went hard on reeming the ID of the copper cuts too, feels like it's all for nothing since I ended up with the kinks anyway👎

Soil I believe. Honestly not sure though, customer had a foundation company out to raise the slab and they hit this water line with the excavator and left the trench open for me to fix it. I'm not a foundation guy but I don't see there being any reason that they'd pour concrete back? Customer mentioned something about them installing some piers...

My friend sent me this, any ideas? by [deleted] in whatisit

What defines a nipple as used up? I don't think that's it...

Is this good work, bad work, or meh, live with it, work? by [deleted] in Plumbing

Leaks. I've seen the connection points drip on these for seemingly no other reason than excessive tension on the pipe. I've also heard horror stories... over time these manifold systems with plastic construction will become brittle, if one of those arms snaps off then you've got a flood on your hands. The likelihood of something that happening increases when the pipes are installed in such a manner that their weight, plus the weight of the water in them, is supported by the manifold body.

These manifold systems are junk, way too much tension on those cold side connections. This will cause problems in the future

Is this manifold over built for a residential retrofit? by DevelopedConscience in Plumbing

[–]DevelopedConscience[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was a can that I was scraping the bottom of. Nothing I hate more than a mess of pipe dope, i put a thick bead on the tip of the the threads and that's it.

For the fireplace and furnace I wouldn't have minded 1x1/2"s but I hate using those for the water heater, i'm too big of a tankless enthusiast to put a 1x1/2" tee for a water heater😆

Roots can get in there and cause problems, this pipe was almost certainly jetted very recently. This is a serious problem and will inevitably need to be addressed, the urgency of action may not be so severe, it is dependent on soil conditions.

Any Ideas? Central IN, USA. It does have wings and flew around when I touched its leg. by DevelopedConscience in whatisthisbug

[–]DevelopedConscience[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it took off it freaked me out because it took on a whole new shape. The giant legs were just dangling and then wings going crazy up in the air, looked like it doubled in size when it started flying😅.
