    Nozzle to clear out unusual drain?

    We have a Swedish-made console sink in our bathroom. Instead of being on the bottom of the sink, the drain is on the side underneath a lip (see attached photo). I know it looks like an overflow hole, but this is the one and only drain opening in the sink (which is kind of like a flat tabletop...

    Gap between water heater and vent duct

    Today I noticed that there's about a 1.5" gap between the exhaust opening top of our water heater (tank, natural gas) in our basement and the metal duct that carries away the products of combustion to a vent on the side of our house. Is that normal? By comparison, it looks like the vent duct...

    Hosing drain with attached disposal and dishwasher

    In our kitchen we have two sinks side by side. The righthand one goes through a J-trap to the sewer out at the wall. The lefthand sink has a disposal that empties through a pipe to a fitting on the righthand sink just above the J-trap. A drain hose from a dishwasher is attached to the disposal...

    Sink traps

    We have a leaky trap under one of our sinks, and I thought I would replace it. Here is the existing hardware under the sink: I went to the local wholesale outlet, and they sold me this: The existing elbow is glued onto the pipe from the wall, so I would not use the new elbow...
