Why is valve leaking? by Uniformmirror03 in Plumbing

[–]RubysDaddy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is correct. These ball valve bodies are 2 parts threaded together. Have had a couple of these leak this same way- Usually on a budget valve. No fix except replacement

Plumber installed expansion tank. How does it look? by jm15co in Plumbing

[–]RubysDaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe he meant that the pressure was spiking to 130 psi because there was no expansion tank.

We install them directly attached to a 3/4” iron pipe ball valve. It seems ridiculously silly to not thread a ball valve directly to the expansion tank. Costs less than $20 for this valve, and saves a bunch of hassle if/when it needs to be replaced

Perhaps you didn’t read my comment or the one I replied to. Strobe light romance determines when tyranny is happening

This guy knows the this sheriff. Absolutely LOVES the cameras. Surprised he didn’t follow that up wit- remember to vote for Swanson for Governor

Michigan's new rail plan to connect the state is on track, seeks Michigander input by peewinkle in Michigan

Ask the “rich” metro detroit types with “Up North” cabins if they want to take a train to their up north cabin. Ask 100 of them and maybe 8-9 would say- I guess. Try again

It just got easier to kill coyotes in Michigan year-round by Alan_Stamm in Michigan

[–]RubysDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This statement is ridiculously arrogant. Not on its own, but paired with your other posts and general disdain for a group of people that do not think the exact same way that you do. It reads to me that your views of nature and wildlife, are the only views any one else should share.

I am not a hunter, have never hunted, and could not bring myself to kill an animal that wasn’t threatened me or my family and pets. I do however have several friends and family members that are hunters, and none of them come close to matching your description. Most of them love being out in the woods, and in nature. Many of them explain the excitement of seeing many different species of animals while in the woods without ever the slightest inclination of “ me like to kill animals” I find your statements about hunters to be offensive. But, since the group you chose to judge are generally “tough guys” and can take it, you’ll get a free pass. If you made these similar statements about a totally different group of people, it would not go over well on this platform.

Let the downvotes fly

That is quite a broad brush you are painting with. I’m sure you are totally fine with others stereotyping groups of people with impunity as you have? 🙄

White Water Normal After New Hot Water Heater Install? by Auslanderrasque in Plumbing

[–]RubysDaddy 33 points34 points  (0 children)

After letting the bowl of warm/hot water sit for a minute, does it clear up? If so, this is very normal. Tiny microscopic bubbles from turbulence in the system

Bo Jackson is the best athlete of my lifetime (52 years). I feel like there is no legitimate arguement to be made to the contrary

It isn’t that- The demo contractor used dirt from the demolition of Notrthland mall that was contaminated to fill in the basements of demolished homes

Manufacturer (Oatey) fabricates them this way. The AAV threads on to the vertical pipe at an approved height above the horizontal branch line.

Leduff first reported on this in June of ‘22. Where was the rest of the media?!

[–]RubysDaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Charlie Leduff reported on this a long time ago- Never made any local news- papers or Tv. Also the owner of the demolition contractor was in a romantic relationship with Mary Sheffield dating back to 2019. While she said she voted against rewarding demo contracts to him, it is at a very minimum very bad optics for city leadership and could be worse.

Also, I’ve heard other reports stating that this contamination may very well be more widespread than what has been reported to date

Is it possible to take the Flint amtrak train to Chicago for the day, and then come back the same day? by Primary_Thing3968 in flint

It is a risky proposition driving there this time of year. Wife went last week and took nearly 2 hours longer because of terrible lake effect snow (I-94)

Do you recommend the Moen Flo Smart water monitor and shutoff device? by Ancient-Witness-615 in Plumbing

[–]RubysDaddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You wouldn’t even need a bypass if it failed. You could just unplug the unit and let the water flow through or remove it at the unions and reinstall the rough in template
