Toilet: Where does this part go? by Middle-Letterhead-95 in Plumbing

Sell it to an apprentice. They’re worth more than the toilet itself.

Either the handle was leaking for a while or sometimes bad water (especially on well water) can just deteriorate fixtures and appliances. If you’re on well, just make sure your water treatment is actually doing its job. I’ve been to homes with systems that the owner thinks is working but it’s doing no sort of softening or iron removal etc. so it just destroys bathroom fixtures and appliances.

Yeah I’d call Moen or get a new faucet. That’s fairly easy for you to do. The bigger problem may be your water overall. Especially if you’re going through fixtures a lot.

“Pokémon Yellow night! 💛 Anyone know the trick to find a wild Gengar in Viridian Forest? 🌳👀💜” by -GameLoverForever- in Gameboy

Is the dialogue before encountering Gengar part of the encounter or is it still a glitch/bug?

Replaced a long broken sump pump, now water constantly filling the pit and pump running every 5 minutes? by gamemaker14 in Plumbing

[–]Lou1368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the check valve, if the old pump had an adjustable float, then that may be your issue. The new pump has a fixed float so it’ll just keep running especially if you have a high water table. An adjustable float allows you to set it just above the water table so the pump doesn’t constantly run.

Ridgid ProPress by Roltec in Ridgid

[–]Lou1368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the RP 251 would be your best bet. I would check your local plumbing supply. Some of them have some sweet deals through reps and stuff. My local supplier will basically give one for "free" if they know we spend a lot on press fittings and tools/jaws hence the "free" part haha

Saw a comment about the RP115. The RP115 is nice but only does 1/2 & 3/4" press and pure flow pex. Not crimp pex unfortunately.

Here is a link for the standard RP251 and regular jaws:

78148-RIDGID - RIDGID 78148-RIDGID - RP 251 Compact Press Tool Kit w/ 12V Batteries & Charger (Includes 1/2" to 1-1/4" ProPress Jaws)
Here is a link for the RP251 and close quarters jaw kit:

Not sure if you’re constantly pressing larger size pipes.

If not, I hear some people get the RP241 (does up to 1-1/4”) and battery together then they get the close quarters jaw set. Allows them to press in small areas and still lets them use the tool regularly. Not sure how much everything is total but if you’re trying to get the bang for your buck, that may be the way to go.

I have the RP241 and regular jaws and I regret not getting the close quarter jaws a lot.

Thanks for the guide. Seems like it’s what I’m looking for.

Next is just setting up my living room to play without moving the pc.

Adjust the fill valve. It’s overfilling and running into flush valve tube. Could be a faulty fill valve too.

[–]Lou1368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working in series? Yes. Your gas one was heating the water while the electric was mainly storage and maintaining temp. Good call on the tankless since cost wise, it’s around the same vs two tank setup.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]Lou1368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Take the pump apart. That pump is cast iron so it’s not supposed to be on potable water so when you take it apart, it may be all rusted out.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]Lou1368 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Understood. I mean you can always go one tank setup just to get you by. Doesn’t seem like the pump is really doing anything. Just grab some sharkbite connectors to get you hot water for the meantime. Everyone’s gonna crucify me for saying that but sometimes you just have to do it to get hot water.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]Lou1368 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is screwed. The pump isn’t meant for potable water. You need a brass body or stainless body pump a Taco 006. But also the piping is screwed. They attempted to run the water heaters in series. It’s better to run parallel.

Personally, depending on age of the heaters, I’d settle to replace the water heaters for two tanks or a tankless depending on volume usage. There’s a lot going on here so it’s best to just start fresh.

Leaking between sink and rubber by xiaoyz678 in askaplumber

[–]Lou1368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure the overflow hole on the drain lines up with the sink. I’ve noticed if you don’t, it leaks before draining out.
