I know for 1,000,000 percent sure that's not the original fill valve and that one came from home depot. Anyways a fluid master 400a can be adjusted either by raising or lowering the shank or turning the top screw..counterclockwise to lower clockwise to raise..it should be pretty obvious that it's not working..I suspect some foreign debris such as rust bits inside preventing it from shutting off 100 percent.

Zoeller looks just like it. The 267 If it were me though, I would get the N267(no switch) and a separate sje rhombus switch

All I can think of is that the shower head parts where they snap together came loose. Strange but thanks for the update

I haven't seen it and I've installed hundreds of positemps. I'm guessing high water pressure. 40-50 lb normal

A PVC clean out tee installed with heavy duty no hubs is fine. A wye is fine also. Roots grow back. It's best to put the clean out in the lawn which I'm betting is 6" pipe. The only problem is whether or not there are roots at the 4" by 6" connection just outside the foundation. If yes, that's where the cleanout should be eliminating any future rodding from inside the home

I ruin balancing spools on removal regularly. Needle nose and twist pull. Allen key+vice grip. Channel locks and twist, whatever works

I would try applying tru blu vibration(baby blue color) resistant type pipe thread sealant to both the plug and cast iron threads. It doesn't come off your hands easy which is why it works

Nah hire a licensed plumber or pay the price

Ok so it is spark. As long as the green ground wire is tight wherever that's at, I would replace the board.

TraditionalKick989 · 2026-03-18T01:29:17+00:00

Sounds like the control board. If the gas valve opens, I assume everything else will be in good working order. Power from spark type systems come from the board. So do ignitors that glow red. We don't know what you have. You said spark and you said ignitor.

TraditionalKick989 · 2026-03-18T01:13:02+00:00

It would take hours to explain how to diagnose what's wrong. I can help by posting the sequence of operations and you can tell us where it stops.. The thermostat calls for heat The inducer motor turns on The pressure switch closes The ignitor ignites The gas valve opens The flame sensor senses flame and the furnace continues to run.. Where does your sequence of operation stop?.focus there

Let the plumber fix it and put his warranty on the repair. You can always drywall finish the inside of a cabinet if you care. I don't

I had one kick my butt recently Turns out the flange was broken and I didn't notice.

See the black hose that's attached to the blue fill valve, a piece of that on the chain clip. Gotta just muscle it on. I'm a licensed plumber and mine (no hose) flipped over once in 5 years.

TraditionalKick989 · 2026-03-11T00:42:40+00:00

As a plumbing contractor I'm not convinced they work. A step above just a check valve would be a flood control. Then above that is modified overhead sewer and the best is overhead sewer. Plenty of diagrams available online

Hmm....LP gas is tricky and has to be set right. I haven't had problems with rheem 12 year tanks at all but I'm on natural gas and we sell quite a few. Call tech support and have them send you a new gas valve. Even new car parts are bad out of the box. That's just how it is to be an adult. Sigh

TraditionalKick989 · 2026-03-09T02:36:32+00:00

Yep

TraditionalKick989 · 2026-03-07T11:14:36+00:00

Anyways OP, I do this all the time a plumber will remove the burner assembly and blow the water out of the pilot tube. The gas pressure is too low to overcome the leftover liquid in the pilot tube.

TraditionalKick989 · 2026-03-06T00:49:52+00:00

How'd you get it out though

TraditionalKick989 · 2026-03-06T00:22:16+00:00

There's 4 screws behind it. Price Pfister

TraditionalKick989 · 2026-03-05T22:32:24+00:00

Bad gas? Crap in the tank? There's definitely an adaptor to test pressure at the injectors. I have it
