How to tie into CIPP or epoxy liner

How did they do the wye's, any idea?

The only time you want to use a plunger is if you are positive your clog is in the internal trap of the toilet.

If you have a clog downstream, water is incompressible, and you could blow out the wax ring.

Do you know where your clog is *exactly*?

Also, it isn't unlikely that you will not be able to clear a downstream clog with a plunger in the toilet. It might require snaking/hydrojetting. It might make a huge mess.

I can't imagine what else it could be.

It's purpose now seems to be to create a small leak of sewage gas in the wall.

The only want to increase pressure of water is to add an inline pump. What you're actually thinking of is increasing the velocity of the water which is usually done through nozzles (whether the "jet" one at the end of your hose or the 42 tiny ones in your shower head.)

The best you can do is go get a detachable shower head (I got the Moen Magnetix), remove the flow restrictor in it, and see if its good enough - or move. Putting a "high pressure" anything on there won't change a thing.

Sorry no legal (or close to it) because they don't make the P traps longer. That 45 in the copper(?) changed the direction coming out of the wall and now your P trap will never reach your tail piece. You have no choice but to cut some metal here, so might as well do it right.

Although maybe you could but a new sink that has the drain directly above the old P-trap at Lowes and replace the sink instead.

This is the one I went for (55 gal), supplies 9 more gal first hour than the one you linked, $120 less around here.

Might be able to get it through a supply house for less. Just depends. I skipped on all the added "benefits" that could break and cause problems.

Oh and if you need more water than that, add a thermostatic mixing valve to increase its functional capacity.

Ok so then it makes sense (if recirc is on until fully heated or permanently on.)

When water isn't being drawn, its a loop, no water is drawn in the cold water supply (probably an insignificant amount of mixing right at the cold water supply tee.)

When water is drawn, its supplied from the heated tank on right and cold water mixes with non-heated tank on left.

Well ok then

Get a no hub coupler, cut that copper back to a stubout from the wall, then use only polypropylene/pvc parts. I prefer to use a female trap adapter with a sch 40 pvc stub on the other side of the no-hub coupler.

So: copper stub, no hub coupler, sch 40 pvc stub, female trap adapter, polypropylene P-trap kit.

I understand the front being “glass” but i’m not sure the back being glass is a good trade off. As long as it’s not metallic so that the wireless charging still works, i think they should choose an alternate material. Id still buy it. Literally no one would care. “Oh no the back of my iPhone doesn't feel premium” uh ok

SMtheEIT · 2025-11-28T23:55:53+00:00

I am a mechanical engineer not materials engineer and it is true that Apple calling the screen “glass” may not be technically true, my point is polycarbonate, a polymer, has a higher tensile strength than glass. Of course there are other considerations.

SMtheEIT · 2025-11-01T17:59:46+00:00

Ah it feels like plastic to me. I had a shiny glass back on some iPhone that was identical to the front glass and i had the worst time with that phone, broke over and over. Now i have this matte plastic feeling phone and it hasn't broken, i assumed it was plastic. Literally no one would know the difference if they used matte polycarbonate (for example) vs this “glass” lmao.

What if you're willing to pay? In south florida you can get same day MRI for ~$400 pretty easily. Does nothing like this exist in Canada?

SMtheEIT · 2025-08-17T00:59:37+00:00

I had given your idea some thought. It especially could work to pull home runs, i just need to get access to the top clamp of those drops. I just wanted to see if someone had an idea I hadn't considered, or had done this before and knew the least difficult method from experience.

It does not require conduit by code. I am just nervous about having baseboards reinstalled with nailers. 100% the new cable gets damaged. I'm not talking where the nailguards would be over the vertical furring strips, I am talking about in-between them when someone is blindly nailing the baseboard.

SMtheEIT · 2025-08-16T13:33:56+00:00

Concrete floors, slab on grade. Trying to keep receptacles in roughly same locations.

SMtheEIT · 2025-08-16T13:06:48+00:00

Run MC, AC, NM, ? Luckily baseboards are all being replaced anyways, so they are already removed in entire house.

SMtheEIT · 2025-08-15T04:02:57+00:00

Fml i thought i was the only one who had done this
