There are people here that will answer your question direct and to the point. I think I know the answer but I am not qualified and therefore not confident enough to do so.

For clarification for...

Speedball, perfect pic as usual. I used the right washer. I did not remove the strainer, just replaced metal drain with pvc.

1) I'm wondering now if the strainer moved and broke up the old putty...

The washer is what came in the kit. It's a flanged plastic washer that connects the short down pipe to the basket. All of the compression washers seem to work just fine. So just pick up an 1 1/2...

I just replaced an old metal twin arm drain with pvc and I can't get the drain to strainer connection to stop leaking. I used the included plastic washer and turned as tight as I could by hand, when...

And there in, lies the rub. Conservation of energy is exactly the problem. All devices will use some amount of energy for there own operation. Whether it's through friction in mechanical devices or...

Thanks for the replies,

Turns out a bad cmos battery is to blame. Computer got unplugged during a lightning storm and the bios settings for raid reset to off. A quick change from disabled to...

My computer won't boot, I receive ' disk read error' well before windows tries to load. I suspect the MBR is corrupted.

My plan is to use one of the many available boot cd's with tools (hiren's...

fredg list losts of good solutions. I just want to point out that all of those are very easy and safe to use EXCEPT hijack this.

Hijack is easy to use but there are no safe guards built in. it...

Co-worker A was being funny and replaced co-worker B's wallpaper. It was a family photo and now can't be found. Needless to say co-worker B is not very happy. The photo does not show up in the...

aeronaut: I believe you are correct about the auto deploy, I think I was confusing the reversers with the auto spoilers and brakes on the airbus 320/340.

FBE: I have to disagree. There are many...

I'm running a circuit into a new half bath. My plan was to run two outlets in the adjoining room then to the GFI in the bathroom then to the switch, 2 vanity lights and end at the vent fan.

1)...

If you have a tester, voltage is best but just a small test light should work, run an extension cord from a known properly wired outlet and test from the unknown wires to the neutral on the extension...

I agree but for clarification 1 US gallon is 231 cubic inches so 10836/231 is 46.9 US gallons.
an imperial gallon is 277.42 cubic inches so 39 imperial gallons as stated.

and of course I'm not...

If both answers are correct why is one 2 feet and the other is 11 feet. I'm confused :confused:

this sounds like homework...

pressure is measured in psi. in other words force over a set area.

I believe it is possible. Unfortunately you need everybody's favorite high school physics test quote stamped on the machine

'assume the forces of friction are negligible' ;)

No idea, but I'll guess

George Washington Carver. Peanut butter

Although a quick check on wikki indicates he didn't really invent it and says nothing about liking it or not.

sort of a trick answer there. Technically backwards relative to the ground but not actually 'flying' backwards

and in response to the original post many jet aircraft (and variable pitch turbo...

Unless the old shower head really fell apart when you took it off I'm guessing it's teflon tape and corrosion in the threads. I would try using a metal 'scrubby' from your kitchen or some steel wool...

My newer high efficiency direct vent furnace has a condensate pump. Right after installation I had wetness around the bottom of the furnace. Turned out there was a bad seal and the condensate was...

donf: I agree with the switch loop problem but It sounds like power must go on to other fixtures from this box. Op stated 3 black, 3 white, single black, single white.

The result is the same but I...

Can you trace this pipe in the attic? Does it connect to a pipe going through the roof?

I agree with Donf above.
If running a new switch loop isn't possible because of ceiling access I have run from the old switch location to the other side of the door by going down into the basement...

Sorry to hijack this thread but it's directly related. Hope that's OK.

How common is this in the code books? I've never seen one installed around here (but I've always lived in old houses)

I...

Good to know. Thanks

Since we're asking questions,

Don't GFCI's and motors not get along very well? I thought I'd heard that the surge at startup of a washing machine motor could trip the ground fault.

True?

Sounds like you looked behind the knob at the valve, did you look where the shower head comes through the wall? If it only leaks when it's running it should be at or after the valve.

Sounds a bit like a loose connection at the outlet. Did you pull the outlet and check them?

I'm following along trying to learn...

I can't make sense of this. A red a black and 2? White. Seems that there should be one white or another black depending on where power comes from.

Can...

No problem at all Tom, you always give good advise here. I suspected it might differ by municipality.

First plumber came by and just said 'oh that's got to be replaced' no discussion of a repair...

That's good to know at least, there might be hope yet. Let's just hope code allows it here.

Dielectric coupling? Would that be to prevent corrosion between dissimilar metals? Sort of a coupling...

Do gfci's have stab in connectors on the line side? I would check the connections at the gfci outlet that leads to the other outlets. And of course it's best to turn the power off before you go...

I'm a litlle confused and I think the folks here that can answer your question might be too.
Is the problem that the flange sits too high above the floor?
Or just that the flange won't fit on the...

Seems to me that tile work or a new surround would be needed anyway. The single handle won't cover the holes that the old handles used to come through.

Well, from what I can gather in my city the homeowner is responsible up to the curb shutoff (I haven't actually called the city yet since in this area it's highly likely that they could force me to...

Stanfortyman: I don't think this electrician ran the 12/2.



If this light and switch were on an existing 20amp circuit, and he moved them to the new circuit, I'd be interested in what happen to...

Yes a trap is needed. The purpose is to keep sewer gas out of your house. The 'P' portion holds water, effectively sealing off the pipe.

I'm curious what you mean by a pipe with a 'curve' in it?

While working on the new DWV for the half bath (Thanks for all the tips!) I noticed a steady drip from the main supply line just where it comes through the foundation. There is some obvious corrosion...

Thanks Mark,

I was avoiding what you have been describing because I kept thinking I would have to bring the vent back to the toilet somehow. If the one 3x2 wye is all I need in the basement I can...

Thanks for the replies.

from the toilet flange there is a 45 dropping the drain from horizontal running left to right parallel to the front wall, then a wye with clean out maintaining the 45...

We have an older gas stove (I don't know the brand or model right now). Recently it has developed a whistle or whine when it's on, the higher the burners the louder the noise and it happens with the...

Update. I don't know what happened but it's working.

I will say that there are more rubber filings under the coupling than I'd like to see after only 2 weeks and there are some pretty loud clunks...

Ok, I guess a little more info is needed. The 3" to 4" drain on the left of the drawing represents the toilet. The connections that are there now are a mess of wye's and pipe that run at about a 50...

I have read many many posts about venting but still have a question.

I am adding a sink to an area that previously only had a toilet. ( I believe the room was a senior bedroom, we are adding the...

Thank you for your standard answer esquire1, I will double check this but if you re-read my post the coupling was replaced 2 weeks ago. If it's bad again something else is wrong as well.

I have my suspicions but I'd like to clarify:

Washer fills drains and cycles fine

The washer will not agitate or spin, only makes a buzz and smells hot.

I replaced the coupling a couple...
