Same here in NJ regarding the flue pipe.

About the same here, but the two local ones here were very effective when I was getting my business up and running. Another thing I found effective was magnetic business cards.

I found that a business card sized ad in the local weekly driveway newspaper worked well.

Thank you for your service.

Likely just crud on the threads. Put some penetrating oil in the hole, let it sit for a few minutes, then work the set screw back and forth. Repeat as necessary. BTDT

FWIW, I used a Myers SRM-4 when doing the basement bath in 1990. Still going strong.

This^. Same issue at my daughter's house. Tub spout/diverter got damaged and allowed water to blow back into wall. New spout/diverter was the fix.

I've had good results with the Orbit brand from HD.

FWIW, I used the Everbilt lid from HD to replace a rusted out steel lid. Worked out well.

I recently had a similar question and got some guidance here...https://www.plumbingforums.com/threads/shut-off-valve-packing-nut.22981/

Had the same issue with a Kenmore. New timer was the fix.

At my daughter's house, as usual, I had to shut off at the main valve. After turning back on I had to tighten the packing nut pretty tight to stop a drip at the stem. At some point I'm going to run out of tightening. At that point will I be able to close the valve, remove the handle and the...

FWIW, I've had better luck with PB Blaster than WD40.

It looks like it might come off with a deep well socket.

Had the same issue with a Valley valve. Cleaned the groove with a sharp tool then multiple applications of PB Blaster, tapping with a small hammer in between. Finally it came loose.

I have to keep it low key. The owner is a patron at the non-profit where my daughter volunteers.

So... finally my daughter calls the company that installed the water heater. The guy comes and admits that they likely didn't pump the tank bladder up to line pressure initially and that since there is no pressure reducing valve in place, the tank might not be needed in the first place. Claims...

Used donuts to run 2# and 3# PVC into existing 4# cast iron hubs. Fine for 30+ years so far.

Many thanks to all who responded. My daughter has decided to contact the plumber who installed the WH, advise him that the house pressure is 90# per my request, and let him decide upon a solution. Those of you with grown kids know that sometimes you just have shut your mouth and let them do what...

No, not professional, barely an amateur. I think I'll remove the tank, plug the fitting, then see what happens. My best guess is nothing since there were no issues before.
