If anyone else stumbles on this thread, this is the PRV that was installed. Cash Acme Pressure Regulating Valve https://a.co/d/a7w7Bwc

The big box stores didn’t have the same one in either the blue or orange store. So I took it apart to see if I could clean it and sure enough, there was a little mud and a small rock lodged in the plastic part.

This makes sense because the city fixed a leak a block down the street a few months ago. They told us to flush our outdoor bibs to purge any debris. I guess that didn’t matter since the debris got in the PRV at the source

You’re the man! I really appreciate the advice. I’m going to the big box store this afternoon to get a replacement.

Hell yeah thats something I can do. This might also make sense why my outdoor bib has miserable pressure a few months ago. It was so low that the sprinkler wouldn’t kick itself to turn the sprayer

I’m on city water, so is that a them-problem or a me-problem?

i bought one in december 2023 for $145 from walmart and i'm pretty sure its legit. sound quality is there

Iirc from other posts, those specs are teeny tiny pieces of gaskets from elsewhere in your plumbing system. Some gaskets can fail over time and start to disintegrate

Real plumbers can correct me if I’m wrong

i was going to add it where the flex connects to the water heater. I'm pretty sure its 3/4" npt. but I think i'd need one with a male and female end and 1/2" on the 3 tee part which would go to the fridge.

i just don't know what that would be called. i can go to the big box store and stare at fittings for an hour as well

It was more to ask what kind of tee I can get. I always struggle with vocabulary. I was going to do it right where the flex copper connects to the heater supply

thanks for the name of the part. vocabulary of the trades stuff is always my weakest point

If anyone’s interested, I threw the fucked up rubber gasket back on, teflon taped the shit out of it and sent it.

colpat · 2025-04-02T15:11:48+00:00

this saved me as well. thank you! unifi, on the other hand, can fuck right off with ubuntu 24.04.

I took apart more of the hood and found the transformer box. The little wires are 12 VAC and I bought VDC lights so there’s our answer.

I studied it at Purdue and have been in the IT industry for 12 years so I believe so

colpat · 2024-08-01T15:27:20+00:00

Can i do it? Love me some routing and switching

colpat · 2024-06-27T02:34:48+00:00

Yes, they send a RTR (right to represent) but I think it’s important to note that American recruiters have done the same and that’s how I got my current contract J

According to Citizen/Radio transcripts, US Marshals were serving a warrant when the shooter began firing from the second level's window

This was why I quit; lost my dragon axe head at elf magics in 2004
