I want to change my magnesium anode rod in my water heater. The Rheem parts list (SP11309C), shows a magnesium rod and it has a weld dot on the top. The heater is raised up and there is limited space up above the heater. So, I will not be able to buy an OEM, 1-piece, 44" rod, but will need...

THANK YOU for all your replies. For a plumber to replace all of my angle stops and supply lines, this is not in by budget right now. What is the opinion of these push connect, angle stop valves??? All of my shut offs are inside the home and accessible...

So the shut offs are easy to get off....we have all PEX water lines...is this shut off replacement job a job that can be done by myself??? Or must this job be done by a professional??? I do not have any pex crimping tools in my tool box !!!

WOW- "without hesitation"....that sounds bad !!! Do those need to be cut off- or is there a tool to slide them off- to help save the length of the pipe sticking out of the wall???

Hello! I am in the Ft Worth, TX area. Our homes are fairly new, 6 years old or less. They were all built with these supply shut offs. My neighbor says these shut off are bad, and since they are just pushed on, they can easily come off ! So he replaced all of his shut offs. Your...

Adding a hose cap.... and then it's a good drain ?

Twowaxhack...from you emoji....is that drain addition, good or bad???

You have probably drained it already, but on the next drain- add this....to help get even more sediment off the bottom.

This is the drain in a friends basement. The large pipe is the toilet and the small pipe is from the shower. I don't know the diameter of either pipe. But, with the shower pipe going into the side of the large drain pipe, to me, that just doesn't look correct??? Your plumbing knowledge and...

I want to protect the new house from possible water damage from a leak in the hose OR a leak in the washer. OK, sounds like the auto shut off hoses are not the way to go. What about the shut off "systems", like this, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0742N3KHF/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 ....there...

I will be moving into a new home soon. I would like to protect the house from possible water damage from a leak or burst washing machine hose. Should I get an "auto-shut off " hose? Which hoses are the best protection? Should I get a water shut off "system", with a shut off, an alarm and a...

We are building a new home in Texas. Does the plumbing building code require the water lines, that are less than 24" from the outside wall to be insulated?

I do not want to make an illegal connection. The a/c drain line is an existing drain line that has been there for 15 years. I just want to run 3/4" all the way to the "y" that now has a 1/2" adapter. Is there a way to modify this glued in adapter (described in original post) to get a 3/4"...

I can not remove the "Y". Is there a way to modify this glued in adapter to get a 3/4" opening for 3/4" pipe?

Yes, it is a waste line. Is there a way to modify this glued in adapter to get a 3/4" opening for 3/4" pipe?

I have a pvc, 4/4/2, "Y", with an adapter glued into the 2 side. The adapter allows for a threaded 1/2" pipe. I would like to some how, change the 1/2" opening in the adapter, to allow a 3/4" pipe to enter. The 3/4" line is for the a/c drain. I can not remove the "Y". I would like the...

All this electric information sounds great, but, for me, an electric water heater is not possible. I need something gas, low tech (no power vents, hybrids, etc.), reliable, with an easy to clean air filter/screen/intake.

I am looking for a reliable brand, low tech, gas water heater, with the new filters/ screens/ air intakes that are easy to clean/ maintain. Searches on the internet are all over the place!
