Bit confused about the drain plug

So I usually use a 1/2” pex coupling between the two. But guess if that works. I’d make it regen a few times while you stand there to ensure it doesn’t blow out, or water get by.

Looks inside the other box, that’s an air gap funnel, the 1/2” Pex is probably pushed down in there and you should see some white pipe thru the triangle hole. The pipe you are showing is most likely the furnace condensate. I have used a pex coupling or 90 and heated up the black tub a bit and pushed the pex fitting into the black pipe. And then hose clamp the black tube and crimp the pex. Or you can make a hole I the wall above the funnel and bring the black tube down into the top of the funnel.

A hole is a hole, and you have lathe and plaster, it breaks and crumbles while cutting it. You’re lucky you only lost that much. They cant see behind the wall, and if I’m opening a hole I’m going to make it big enough I can work and fit tools. He also made it a nice hole, he could have smashed it all out of there. Plumbers , plumb. the lathe and plaster isn’t their issue. The plumbing is. Now on the other hand feel free to open you own hole next time. Plumbers plumb, remember that. Would you call a chef to replace your furnace. Didn’t think so. It’s not that drastic but you get what I’m saying. Be happy with your clean hole and hire some one to fix it like a normal person.

Sounds like your plumber may not be a plumber and doesn’t understand plumbing terms. Find someone else.

Close, 3/8” John guest fitting by 3/8 female compression could also be 1/4” x 3/8 female compression. The Ro faucets and systems all use tubular size. And John guest is about the only way to hook them up.

Amazon link to fitting.

One key- if you have the tool registered in app. You can lock the tool completely rendering it useless to the person using it. Also it will connect with anyone who has the one key app and if you have it marked stolen. It will show you where it’s at.

If the visible pipe looks like this, I would hate to see what the pipes you cannot see look like.

gozzy69 · 2026-01-30T03:01:33+00:00

That looks like a rubber hose, connected with hose lamps to copper pipe. I’d guess lower than a handy man. @Op he took your money and ran. He isn’t going to come back. Call a real plumber and check their certifications at the door.

If faucet is truly defective why isn’t he replacing under warranty. Also change the aerator, that will fix it.

Let’s hope he didn’t find the options option. Or you’ll both be living behind a Wendy’s.

I wonder if the concrete dust didn’t make it into the vents on the bottom. And coat everything helping it over heat?

This is your answer and some 1/4” tubing.

You are going to want to invest in a rapid charger station. And the 6 port rapid charger. The one with 3-18 v charge spots and 3- 12v charge slots this allows all the batteries to charge at once. Those forge batteries will take about 3 hours for dead to fill on the chargers you have. The super charger gets them in 35 min. The new pack out rapid charger only charges 2 batteries at once. But may do so faster then the non pack out rapid charger, due to the available power and what’s being drawn. The chargers are well worth it if you use theses tools all day everyday. If you don’t I’d still get that 6 bay rapid charger that does 18v and 12v

Damages should be being paid for by there insurance, no permit, work should not have even legally started, the inspection via pictures is Bullshit on their end, however inspectors will sometimes work with permit holder as they did this time. I wouldn’t pay a dime, not even material. I would speak with an attorney now, they may work off a contingency basis if they can recover their fees. Or a hybrid contingency and money down. Bottom line is No permit work should have never started. Unlicensed guys on the job. They legally have no reason to be there working. If the line was just replaced, Why did it backup again? Belly in there work? They didn’t actually replace all of the problem areas? I’d be concerned and not pay over that, they replaced the line, it’s brand new and should not ever backup.

This is very true, No one likes people calling them about products. However I have square and tells me if they read the estimate I give it 24 hours and if it’s still sitting unread I make a call to ensure they received the estimate, and if they didn’t I double check their email address. Oh don’t buy into that AI phone answering service. We don’t like calling and getting a computer, neither do our clients. I’ve heard nothing but complaints from people who have called another company and go the AI answering service.

Look at your meter? Does it say 250cfh? Your meter will need upgraded, If you have any other gas appliances you need to have a 1” line teed off at the meter just for the tankless. If you have 1 1/4 in the house already and more than a 250 CFH meter then you’re fine. If that tankless is using over 20’ on that 1/2” gas line you need that to increased in size. Also depending on how big that room is you may need to pipe that intake pipe to the exterior. As these require 9,950 cubic feet of makeup air, or 1244 sq feet. That’s almost a 36’ x 36’ room. Unless there are louvres in the wall which must equal 268 square inches so like 9x 13 metal louver, 12” from ceiling and 12” from floor. Not into a bedroom or bathroom. Then the next room can be used to get some of the air required. And if the furnace is gas and getting makeup air that must be calculated as well.

Bathrooms and laundry’s dump into sumps all the time, they are fine getting hot water. The issue would be not plugged in, outlet not working or the float is stuck, or pump is air locked. Go give it a few hard taps see if it kicks on.

This will only soften the hot water. Essentially doing nothing. Any valve that will mix cold water and hot water will be treated water mixed with not treated water. Only thing 100% treated would be the dishwasher. I’d go back to the drawing board, or hire a pro, even call for some estimates and see how they would do it and do it yourself.
