Hi ya'll, While trying to install a filtered water spout, I opened up pandora's box with corroded fittings on my water supply lines. Even after removing as much gunk as possible from copper (or is it brass?) elbow and hand tightening new MIP nipple with clockwise teflon tape, I'm still getting...

First off I’m in the middle of nowhere in a 2 story shop house. First floor is set up with an apartment with a single bathroom and kitchen sink. I’m hoping to add a bathroom and kitchen sink upstairs. Existing plumbing as I can see is below I am unsure if there is any venting from the...

Water is coming up at the top of the connection for a while now. What is needed to fix this? Water is where the brown crud is on top.

Hi - I'm in an apartment with an old kitchen faucet (madeira?), and there's no under-sink shutoff valves for hot or cold. It goes straight into the wall. I'm wondering if I can still install an under-sink filter (i.e. Aquasana) and hook the cold water line somewhere in the small space between...

Trying to work out what this could be. It’s been appearing intermittently for over a year now. Thought it could be rain getting through an outside vent but today is a lovely sunny day. Haven’t used the washing machine for at least two days so can’t be that. The kitchen sink is on the same side...

Hi, I'm very new to this and I'm planning on replacing my double basin sink with a single basin. I think I have most of it figured out but my concern is that I will have to remove the joint connected to the wall draining because it will pertrude too far for the garbage disposal when it is moved...

dear experts, thanks for taking the time to review my question. i’m getting a new sink (and a counter top) going from a 33” x 22” x 6” drop in (over mount) double basin to a 33” x 22”x 9” rectangular sink. My sink cabinet measurements are 34.75” x 22.75” (measured at the bottom of the sink...

Can someone please tell me if there is a different way to pipe this? Sometimes it drains fine and sometimes it’s suuuper slow. I did it myself so please go easy on me! First time homeowner looking to save some money ;)

I purchased a new single drain sink to replace an old dual drain sink that came with the house built 30 years ago. Currently, there's a 3 way drain extension with 2 of the forks going to p traps with the middle fork being plugged with a clean out cap. would I need to somehow remove or cut...

Hi everyone, The sink in my kitchen won't drain. This is a new condo unit, it's been only 8 months. I'm not a pro, but I lived in apartments for more than 10 years and never had this issue. My first attempt was to use a chemical. That didn't work. Then I tried a plunger and snake, also...

Hello experts.. Can some one tell what is this installed under kitchen sink. Image is attached. I have cold water and hot water. Why does it have 2 outer pipe connections into one? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi all. I need to change a very old tap but am unsure how it comes off. I’ve attached a few pictures. There seems to be a small indent on the side. Do insimoly turn and pull or does the indent have something to do with it. Thought I’d ask before trying to pull the thing off!

I an replacing my kitchen faucet with a new I went to start by shutting off the supply valves and i noticed that my current hose does is not secured by a nut to the supply valve (See Pictures) The hose to the new faucet as the locking nut on the end of the hose but this wont be compatible...

Just did my countertops and had new double sink installed. The new sink drains are not centered as before, but offset. The installers took out the old one before I could take a picture of setup. The old setup had the garbage disposal installed on the left side. With the plumbing that is in place...

Hi, I have an older (1965) ranch style home with a slab foundation, with 1 3/4 bathrooms (1 full bath, 1 with only shower stall). All bathroom plumbing works well. The plumbing was replaced with copper at some point, but I don't know when or have any details since it was prior to my purchase...

I'm considering a Delta kitchen faucet that claims to offer 1.8 GPM based on 60 PSI. The pressure where our outside pipe (from a drilled well) enters the house is 44 PSI. Will this lower pressure have a significant impact on the flow of water from the faucet? Thank you.

Hello All. After speaking to a Delta faucet rep recently, I'm writing here to doublecheck what I was told. Reason being that I feel like I'm going to break my kitchen faucet soon if I keep applying force. The faucet is a Delta Victorian 155-RBWF SINGLE HANDLE KITCHEN FAUCET. It has a fancy...

I have a cheap faucet in the kitchen and it’s getting slower and slower by the day. Problem is, it’s brand new. Well, the guy I bought the house from put it in right before we moved in and said he got it from Home Depot. Even with the aerator off it’s still pretty slow. Any suggestions before I...

Hello, I'm looking to remove our kitchen house sprayer from it's feed, and place a brass flare cap over it. But what kind of connection is in this picture? It's hard to get to so I want to know just how to remove it once I'm ready. And does it look like I'd be able to place a cap on it? Thank you

Hi, I need help with figuring out why the used sink I am installing is leaking from the faucet. I'm not a plumber, just a dabbler, so any and all help is appreciated. See the attached photo. I took a small video but I guess it's too large. Thank you.
