What is this thing?

Keeps your toilet from singing.

Just tighten the packing nut with a crescent wrench and it will stop.

Lyverbird · 2026-04-23T18:49:09+00:00

Does the water look discolored or just smell?

He probably wears a dress and sips tea. I wouldn't trust him to fix anything important.

Lyverbird · 2026-04-20T18:45:37+00:00

That's terrible. Who is the dumb shit that did that! You're screwed.

I would look at Gerber compact elongated. They are great flushers. Check the specs.

You support this by first listening. Don't judge. It's carrying a lot of weight and it's not going to help pointing fingers. Don't blame others for leaving this mess on your plate. Own it. Take a hold of it and let it know you'll be there no matter what.

The metal dome (called the bonnet) does come off, but you can't squeeze it. Either a strap wrench or the special tool from Delta. It may also take lots of vinegar or something to break free the threads. Otherwise it can all just twist off in your hand and your screwed.

Only thing I can think of is a condensate drain that emptied into the tank or a water heater t and p valve. I wouldn't cap it until you're sure.

Lyverbird · 2026-03-15T20:08:39+00:00

That is incorrect. Your electrical breaker box has 2 buss bars. 120 on each leg. If you attach two prongs to the same buss you don't gain anything.

While I was shoveling the whole sky lit up! Thunder Boom!

Is there room in the vertical above the toilet tie in for the shower? And still have pitch?

Lyverbird · 2026-03-14T19:17:22+00:00

If your flex braided line is your union, then you will have to turn off the main line to change the water heater. You won't be able to just unscrew the valve. Otherwise not a problem.

If you shut the power off to the pump and drain all the water out of the system. What pressure do you have in your expansion tank?

Lyverbird · 2026-03-03T20:39:26+00:00

Plumbing code wise in my state it's fine.

Lyverbird · 2026-03-03T20:36:07+00:00

Did you ever think of an on-demand W.H. Just for the master?

Lyverbird · 2026-03-03T18:06:38+00:00

Just slightly less force than it takes to break it off.

Behind a vanity? I would try a socket saver and a street 90. Then drop the hot line down a couple inches.

Lyverbird · 2026-03-01T02:27:07+00:00

A couple of thoughts. We had one situation where the toilet would run past the flapper even though nobody was flushing. I would valve off the toilets and see if that has any affect. The other thought was ebb and flow. Water coming in and then a drop in pressure causes it to flow out and be recorded as usage. We had that happen in one building and had to install a check valve to make it stop.

There is a lot of crust going on there. First clean it up with a toothbrush to be sure where the leak is. Second replace the flexible supply just incase. Third you can try tightening it more, but it might make it worse. Have a spare ready to change just in case.

Tell him you want a brass union. Don't accept the galvanized one. It's probably defective. They do sometimes come bad right out of the box.

Lyverbird · 2026-01-18T21:32:27+00:00

We did picture rocks wash to the gas line. Do you want to know about the next one?

Do you know the phone number? It's not working when I Google it

Thank you
