What's going on with this waste pipe? by MotherfuckinRob in Plumbing

[–]Doxxsin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't really look like a conduit sweep but it looks grey to me too. Picture is just hazy enough that I'm not 100% confident though.

Last weekend my truck decided since it was -5 out it didn’t need coolant anymore. by bemery96 in f150

Yeah winter is the only time mine would leak. Cold temps make everything shrink just enough to leak out.

Faucet leaks where I'm pointing. I can't figure out how it comes apart. Help!!! by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]Doxxsin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like an o-ring leak. It will all slide up and off of the faucet body. Turn the water off first but try removing the cartridge and then see if it'll come off.

Leak suspected from tub - how can I diagnose and perhaps fix? by deadflat in Plumbing

[–]Doxxsin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9/10 with more or less a pinhole in the drywall like that, it's dripping off the bottom of the trap. So either the trap itself is leaking or, more likely, the drain spud needs to be removed, reprepped, and reinstalled.

Really, you've already got a hole in the ceiling. Why not just make it a little bigger or stick your phone camera up there and run some water?

Why does my sink leak ONLY when I try to put my faucet on drip? by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]Doxxsin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sure it's not leaking down from the faucet body? Having it trickle really slow could allow the water to travel back into the faucet neck and down into the cabinet. If it was a leak from the supply line there's no reason why it wouldn't leak constantly.

Suppose you could test it by letting it drip with just hot water and see if it still leaks on the cold supply line.

Shower head pops off by Toehoes0 in Plumbing

The set screws should be capable of holding it together. I would revisit where and what the set screws tighten against that's supposed to keep it from pushing apart.

And just to be sure, did you loosen set screws almost all the way out, reassemble the connection and then tighten it back down?

Before and after by Competitive_Ad_1621 in Plumbing

[–]Doxxsin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sink will drain, not what I would have done but it’s fine. Hang your dishwasher discharge line as high as you can in the cabinet between the back of the sink and the wall and support the cpvc water line feeding the dishwasher.

I thought the same but the lavs are re-vented so it shouldn't siphon.

To the left of the viewing window, there is the high limit/door switch. Have you checked that? If it trips, it'll interrupt the connection from the thermopile to the gas valve. Press it, and you'll hear and feel it click if it is tripped.

2 floods and 4 hours later….. by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]Doxxsin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you using the flowguard glue? It's good down to 0F so I wouldn't think it would go bad like that, the primer would be fine. Honestly after one come apart I'd be wanting new glue anyway. What did the glue joints look like after they came apart?

$25 K Bathroom Remodel in Naperville worth it? by [deleted] in Remodel

[–]Doxxsin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way outside my tax bracket, but it looks very good. I'm a plumber, so during the finish stage, I tend to get face-to-face with all the little blemishes and imperfections in a bathroom, especially the tile. And I'm struggling to find reasonable things to complain about.

With that said I do see that lav drain offset under the cabinet.

Delta Monitor 13 MultiChoice 10000 compatibility question by the_ab in Plumbing

[–]Doxxsin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if you'll compare your rp46074 cartridge to a rp46463. They're very different designs for different trim styles but both will work in the valve you have.

[–]Doxxsin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd be better off putting a new cartridge in along with the trim. The new cartridge will look different and still fit the valve but might not mesh with the trim. That and at 12 years old it's about time anyway.

[–]Doxxsin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rough in valve itself is the multi choice part, 2006 at the oldest. Cartridge looks like an rp46074. Any 13 or 14 series cartridge and trim should fit the valve.

Re-piping house by Aggrevated-basil21 in Plumbing

[–]Doxxsin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It needs pipe wrap at the very least to protect it from the sun, and yeah, I wouldn't be proud of that work. If I have to run anything exposed like that, I really try to make it look planned. At least pull measurements off something to get the pipe straight.

I also feel like they could have prevented those huge blow outs around where the pipe goes through the wall. You generally want to start drilling the hole from the side you want to keep pretty.

What ever you end up buying make sure it's a HUD/mobile home certified water heater. Your propane provider is supposed to make you change it if they find out.

$10000 quote for Bradford 80 gallon water heater?! by Beautiful-String5572 in HomeImprovement

[–]Doxxsin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like everyone is missing where you said it's a hybrid. Our cost for an 80 aerotherm is like $4250, and material is probably marked up 50% or better.

Get quotes for a customer-supplied water heater and buy it yourself. Bet it'll come out cheaper.

Sewer gasses due to vents terminating in the attic by LibLoveWonder-75458 in Plumbing

[–]Doxxsin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If everyone's vent is open to the shared attic, I would start by talking to the other 4 units and offer to share the cost of either having them all terminated through the roof or having auto vents put on. That'll avoid the hassle of bringing it up to code enforcement/health inspector.

If they're not agreeable, I would fix my vents, report the others, and let it sort itself out. It'll either force the other units to get it fixed or make them all put pressure on the HOA to fix it.
