    Grease Trap Installation Opinions Needed

    Here's my dilemma. The plumbing contractor for a new building installed a grease trap for the cafe. 50 gallon Smith semiautomatic. The grease trap sits in the mechanical room under the cafe. On a walk-through for the building I noticed that there was no flow control before the grease trap and a...

    Math Question for Plumbing Nerds

    I have a slab of concrete 100 ft x 20 ft that builds up storm water underneath and tends to lift the slab at its weakest points. So a 6" diameter pipe is inserted vertically through the concrete into the soil below. The 6" vertical pipe rises 15 feet before going horizontal to gravity drain...

    Sizing Thermal Expansion Tank for Leslie Constantemp

    I have always sized these according to volume of system, temperature rise, pressure, etc., using a variety of formulas and/or charts depending on what suits the need for tankless hot water systems. After installation, tests show that effectiveness and sizing is spot on. So now I'm sizing a hot...

    Tribute to Hospitalcorpsmen

    It's a long video and most people won't watch the whole thing, but I did. Great tribute to the hospitalcorpsmen that have fallen during their service. This is an older compilation, I wish there was an updated version. If you can't sit through it all, at least watch the speech from the...

    Delta Shower Cartridges

    I've heard a lot lately from plumbers that replacing seats and cartridges in Delta shower valves doesn't seem to remedy a drip/leak. I'm sure somebody in the forum can share their experience with Delta and explain what the common mistakes or tricks could be when changing them. Is there a common...

    Rohl Faucets

    Had my first experience with Rohl faucets today. I didn't get to do the rough-in but got the trim. So far I have been impressed with not only the quality, but the ease of installation. No tricks or secret handshakes needed and the shower trim comes with extensions for the faceplate screws as...

    New name

    A tech issue made it necessary to change my screen name. Plumb-Crazy has been changed to Caduceus. I thought it would only be fair to inform the members to avoid any confusion.

    I'm not me, I'm somebody else.

    I have already sent a message to Austin to somehow change my screen name. I recently discovered that there is already a "Plumbcrazy" as opposed to my "Plumb-Crazy" and even I cannot get to my own profile. The computer-thingy thinks we are the same person when clicked. Just wanted to make it...
