We bought our house last year. It’s 100 years old, runs off a well, and the majority of the plumbing was updated to plastic give or take ten years ago. I’ve had two joint blowouts in less than a month. First- these are pretty epic failures. What causes blowouts in the pipe AND the fittings...

I am tapping into my toilet's water supply line to provide water to a bidet toilet-seat. The 1/2 in. fittings supplied with the bidet would work on the fittings inside my toilet... but I can't reach them. The toilet is installed too close to the wall. But the valve at the wall is accessible...

Hi all, and thanks in advance for any help. I'm having trouble finding replacement parts for some damaged adapters. We have a two-basin sink, so a simple NPT x hub adapter isn't ideal, for maintenance/easy removal reasons. It is a gasketed compression fitting, wherein there is a lock nut...
