I know that some kind of a transition fitting would be needed to join the two although I may not have mentioned in . When I said that it is OK to join them I did not mean without a transition...

It is recommended to turn off water at the mains when being away for long periods anyway, so why not do that and don't worry.

I did not even know that bamboo sinks existed,never mind about fitting a garbage disposer to one.But I do now I guess.

What about replacing the stems altogether and handles.Or a whole new faucet. Or buy some kwik-set epoxy glue at the hardware store and put some in the handle and glue it as a temporary measure until...

I have to say that I don't understand either : If the water is sitting in the sink all night with the stopper in the drain it would have to be that the water itself or something in the sink is...

First I would have to check back my plumbing literature and see what avp and cvp means because I don't remember those . I know p.v.c. and a.b.s. As far as I know there is no codes that don't allow...

It seems strange that a blocked vent would cause a toilet not to fill . It would cause it not to flush but I don't see what it has to do with the feed-line coming to the toilet unless some one...

Was the plumbing opened anywhere recently so that air could have gotten in. Shortly after a repair and the water is turned back on, it sputters like that but other than that, I can't think what the...

With most or all hand-operated e-brake vehicles the e-brake is correct when it holds in the first 3 clicks.And it is easy enough to adjust,but with a pedal operated 2001 dodge ram 5.2 L 318 engine it...

Hi , don't forget that the primary piston is for the front brake the secondary piston is for the rear brake.But the question is if both rubbers on the secondary piston is suppose to face the same way...

Txgreasemonkey: I'm onto a new idea about my problem and thought I would hear what you have to say.I recently learned that there was once a spate of defective master cylinders on the market and they...

Tx.greasemonkey: I looked back at our discussion to see if you suggested anywhere that it is correct to lubricate the rubber seals in the master and calipers with the silicone grease.I know that one...

Oh, by the way I do have a manual but since I started going on line with this problem I don't read it quite as often.I have a haynes and a chilton manuals.You mean the adjustments on the brake pedal...

Yes, I changed the front ones only, not the single rear one, and I was saying to my wife tonight that I should have changed that one too.I don't know if the rear hose would have any effect on the...

I greased the caliper pins but I was not aware at the time of silicone grease so I used high temperature bearing grease.I intend to change it as soon as I can buy some.Yes I thought the new booster...

I was thinking about that myself but the calipers are new and came fully loaded.Kelsey/Hayes sliding calipers. Tonight I pedal bled the brakes again front and rear and a peculiar thing happened: ...

Can mal-function of the RWALsystem cause front caliper brake drag.In diagnosing front brake drag one needs to know this.

And I also wanted to mention the importance of adjusting the brake-booster rod correctly.If it's too long brakes will drag.

I'm not familiar with the term 'hanging' but if it's the same as dragging or binding which means calipers not releasig the rotors I have been having the same problem with a dodge ram even though...

Worn tie-rod ends can cause any vehicle to shimmy.What usually happens is, it drives fine until it reaches a particular speed 50 or 60 mph and the it does it until the vehicle slows again.

Considering the year and if you don't know when or if the thermostat was ever replaced it's very possible that it the thermostat.But it could be a number of other things too: like the drive belt, if...

If the serpintine belt is installed incorrectly the water-pump spins backwards so it is well worth it to check that.I own a dodge ram van too and I know that getting the belt on right can be tricky...

Yes I would put it directly into the radiator and make sure the water pump is working .Hold the radiator top hose and rev. the engine to feel the pressure from the pump or look into the radiator and...

The coolant can also disappear through the exhaust : look closely at the exhaust and see if it's coming out there.I onced had a car with a broken head-gasket and coolant came out through the...

Brakes were dragging and slowing vehicle: vacuum booster ,master cyl. combination valve, brake hoses are replaced and system flushed and bled numerous times.But after all of that,the front wheels...

Yes,it is pumped periodically.

I would like to learn too how they don't fill with water instead of air. Interested.

This problem occurs especially when it's an old house with galvanize pipes.I feel that it's always a good idea before installing new fixtures to remove turn-off valves and clean the rust and crud...

A GLUG,GULG.GULG,sound could mean that a vent is blocked.You may have to snake the vent closest to the toilet.

Would it really be so strange if no toilet was intended to begin with.Full baths are not always installed.

It's better that it's a little too far from the wall than too close.I would fill the space with a nice looking piece of wood as another option.

Yes, it is.

It is a closed tank like a septic tank.

The well is another word for a septic tank and it is closed,but has a man hole with a cover that can be removed if necessary.So,you're saying that all venting rules apply the same way as if the...

It is better to have the garbage disposer draining separate like it is with the two traps,because the flow gets to the bigger drain pipe sooner than if it went by way of the sink drain which is only...

It seems to me it may be a good idea to have a water hammer arrester installed some where in the line.They can be bought at the Home Depot etc

If it is'nt possible to install a new drain at the correct height with what is there it may be necessary to dig deeper and add a piece of P.V.C. to bring it back to the correct height.

I agree with updating the shower valve like the expert said but if you just replace the bent copper replace it so it falls behind the 2by4 so it won't be in the way of the tile backer board.A wire...

I tried to answer twice already and something went wrong. Yes! We do have traps of course and vents too I just have to clarify things for myself if something knocks at my brain.Lets take a...
