Thanks, i'm aware they are inferior, just tough spot, and wanted to get some opinions. Perfect world I would solder.

Any reason not to put sharkbites and PEX?

I have done some plumbing/soldering work in the house and the below is in the ceiling (basement), it's leaking at one of the joints so I'm going to cut the copper at the RED marks in the photo. Don't need the two valves there any more so can go direct no valves. Concern is it's in the ceiling...

Some additional info: The screw mentioned above has been totally removed, but nothing came off. Could it be "stuck" on? The faucet itself is not leaking per se, what is wrong is that the it wouldn't turn ON, my father forced it on, when he tried to turn it off he heard a "crunching" sound and...

So I looked at it and asked him. He said he removed the screw and it appeared to be out. This is 20+ years old. So are you saying that if that screw has been removed that entire silver faucet should pull up? maybe something fused (20+yrs)? Also, the 3rd pic - that nut, he/we are unsure if...

Hi, I'm trying to help out my father, the Hot faucet broke and is leaking an needs to be replaced. He believes it's just the valve but the company is no longer in business so we're thinking to replace both faucets. I've gotten this far, but not sure how to remove the actual faucet. I see a large...

So Manufacturer authorized two new parts 1-cold water dip tube 2-hot water outlet anode, but I need to go to the supply house to get them. They wouldn't cover labor.

Correct, wrong verbiage I used, it's a "Hot Water Outlet Anode" one single 40" piece that has the nipple and the anode attached.

I don't believe someone used all the water, actually def not all the water because there was no pressure therefore I couldn't get hot water... So I shouldn't be dealing with this issue as this shouldn't happen correct? If not, then what could cause the dip tube / nipple to warp like that...

Maybe I'm missing something. So I'm replacing #5 and #7 in the diagram, both of those are one long 40" piece with the nipple attached, so I have no way to just replace the nipple and not the rod. Why am I replacing them already? Because it appears that the dip tube is warped in my original...

No nothing is wrong, BUT the hot water intake is one complete solid rod connected to the nipple, I have no way to remove it without cutting it after pulling it up a little bit. This water heater doesn't have a separate rod, it's all one piece Screenshot 2018-06-09 08.18.02 by nutshellml posted...

So now the hot water outlet is leaking, suspect same problem. I spoke with plumber, one thing I don't know if I mentioned is the town cut the water off for few hours. This happened shortly there after. The plumber said that because of the lack of pressure and heat, it could have warped and...

Didn’t remove anything, I originally thought it should come with a heat trap but this model didn’t. And 99% sure it didn’t look like that when I bought it.

So exactly what you mentioned I did. Sharkbite flexible 24” the screw on side went where I took the picture and the sharkbite connection to copper cold pipe. Oddly this happened exactly when water main broke and they shut our water off. But the nipple / dip tube I put in the photo...

So I recently installed a new water heater (3 months old), I used sharkbite (I know, nothing compares to hard piping), the cold water inlet failed and started leaking, when I removed the sharkbit the nipple was not perfectly round, not sure what it could be from, but could the water be leaking...

So I recently installed a new Bradford White 55 Gallon 80k BTU Water Heater RG155H6N. When not using the water for a while (hour or more), then running a very small bath for the kids, the hot water seems to run out extremely quick, definitely way before the limitations of the 55 gallon BW WH...
