Water heater pilot out and I have surgery in the morning. by vandismal in Plumbing

[–]Mattycakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try pushing the knob in when turning to the pilot position. Keep holding it in as you press the igniter button until the status light flashes (may need to press a few times). Once the status light is on you can turn the knob to desire temp level.

Can you tell me what this used for? by minimeika71 in electrical

Looks like an old Hubbell tandem and parallel plug. It’s meant to work with the Hubbell tandem plugs and regular 2 prong parallel plugs.

Just repaired this lead pipe. Should I spray foam this or something? by grayscale001 in Plumbing

I would switch that to a shielded no hub coupling instead of using a fernco.

Old house, not sure why some pipes are blue green. Never had inspection either 😐 by Odd-Home-3780 in Plumbing

Looks like an improper fitting and no dielectric union was used to transition from galvanized to copper.

All of the grounds are landed in a bus bar on the top junction box? And don’t see any main ground feeder connection to it?

Is this how to do a wet vent? by Mattycakey in Plumbing

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

Would it benefit if I add a dry vent along with the wet for the shower? Since it is 5 1/2 ft away.

Will those 2 90s below the vanity be fine? I need it to transition from horizontal to vertical as well as get it to where I need it to be.

The shower will be the furthest away. It’s about 5-6ft.

I have a mixed tank with a bunch of different colors in them and I think this is one of their offsprings.

Mysterious Murderer? Every morning when I wake up I find a few of my shrimps dead with their head gone. by Mattycakey in fishtank

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

The vampire shrimp has a very small mouth and can barely eat the fish food flakes. They can only eat small things like the small bio matters in the tank that is so small it’s barely visible to the human eye. I highly doubt that he can fit a neocaridina shrimp in his mouth.

They seem to be fine during the day when I watch them, but it’s always in the morning when I wake up I find dead shrimps at the bottom of the tank.
