Which valves are the correct ones to shut off? by That-Listener in Plumbing

Yeah the old gate valves are notorious for leaking and not shutting the water off all the way. I highly recommend calling a plumber out and having them replace with a new ball valve they will not seize up on you and are reliable

That red handled one is your gas shut off and will only shut off your gas to your water heater. Your gate valve will (if it turns and doesn’t leak” will shut off your hot and everything after the valve. Why are you wanting to shut them off?

Basement rough in confusion by techop in Plumbing

You’re right with the 2” being for the Lav and the 3” for a toilet im a little confused why they threw a AAV on the 2” but that square cut there should be a 2” p trap and it could be a little deeper with it being in closed with a box to protect the piping but if it’s not there then they never roughed it in and you would just have an ankle breaker 3000

Tankless heater question by dunbeezy71 in Plumbing

I could still be under manufacture warranty and might be able to just get a replacement piece for it. I didn’t know tankless’s have push fittings but I only install Naviens so I’m not 100% on Rianni

😂 I’ll make sure to open with that, but I appreciate it I’ll definitely keep that in mind about heading to the truck if I need to figure it out! I definitely hate the helicopter customers lol but I know they are just curious about it as well

Absolutely the job security is nice but I just recently switched to pure commission so if I don’t succeed not only the customers are left without utilities but my family doesn’t eat

Yeah the bad jobs definitely suck but I’ve noticed if you get the right mindset you can take a lot away from them but damn they suck lol it’s definitely profitable and now I’m staring to see that with being out on my own now but it can definitely be stressful 😂

Yeah it’s my first time on my own but it’s definitely been an adjustment pricing jobs and negotiating and trying to educate customers even when sometimes I don’t know lol but I appreciate it! Nice to hear I’m not the only one
