I have a Waterpik shower head attached to a standard shower arm. One pic shows the head. The other shows with the spray part of the head removed so you can see the size of the orifice that the water flows through out of the arm. Measuring the orifice it is 5/16 inch diameter. If I attach a...

I have a washing machine with a pretty standard hookup (see pics). It looks like there are flats for a wrench on both the faucet itself and the fitting that it threads into, so does the faucet just unthread from the fitting? And can the 2 faucets then be replaced with a lever type dual shutoff...

I have an old under-sink sweated shutoff that says Eastern on the handle. The washer is evidently gone as it will not shut off water flow. I'm concerned about sweating on a new valve as the previous owner put a lot of spray foam insulation around it which I think is quite flammable...
