    Kitchen sink low flow/pressure

    So far the advice is correct. Start with flushing out the cold shut off valve. If its a brand new kitchen faucet, most of them come with the water supplies attached so you wont be able to use that. You can purchase a 24" stainless steel water supply, connect that to the cold shut off, then...

    Metallic shavings in tub

    Yeah this would definitely put my head in spin mode. I would look at a filter for after the mini heater. I would inspect the inside of the mini heater to see what kind of material is used on the coil, the piping that gets heated up. To me, the culprit seems to be the mini heater, unless your...

    Metallic shavings in tub

    Are you getting this at just the master bath tub or other fixtures as well? Are you getting this from the hot water only or cold water also? Check your toilet tanks for any debris. Fill your master bath lavs with hot water, check for debris, then fill with cold water, check again. Put inline...

    Expansion Cap for Main Line Clean-Out in Basement

    You might be able to use a Fernco or No Hub coupling with a new adapter? As far as I remember a 4" Fernco will fit on the hub of a 3" cast iron fitting. Would have to test to make sure...

    Water Pressure Regulator

    A lot of times you can find the brand name "etched" or cast into the body. If not, as JeffMattero76 says, take it to a plumbing supply house. I agree, it does look like a pretty old model.

    Hose Bibb Extreme

    Sometimes these things can be a bit of a bugger to take off. Even with the bibb open, any bit of water will make it impossible to unsweat. I have actually had to use a self tapping screw in the bottom, right between the bibb outlet and the solder joint, at the lowest point to insure all the...

    Whole house water filter

    Best option would be to use a carbon based whole house filter. I personally like the 20" size housing but due to your location restrictions, you may have to go with a 10" housing system. Carbon based filters are meant to filter out chlorine, taste and odor and typically carry the NSF/ANSI 42...

    New vanity; P-trap issue

    Another options is to use a different style p-trap. We have used 1000's of these for tract homes for over 25 years. You may be able to save some room using this style also. It uses a glue on male adapter and slip connections. I would use the 1-1/2" size.
