I want to replace shutoff valves with quarter turn valves. I've run into two issues. 1. I can't find dual outlet shutoff valves that are quarter turn. Ideally, I would like the outlets to be at 90 degrees of each other (not 180 degrees). 2. All the dual outlet shutoff valves that I've found...

Hi- I recently bought a house that has a fleck metal bypass valve plumbed in for the water softener connection. I have a rheem rhs32 softener that came with a plastic bypass valve that exposes male threaded ends. What’s the best way to make the connection between the two? Can the fleck valve be...

I am looking for a reliable solution to divert effluent from one field to another. Learned that it is best not to abandon an old drain field but install a diverter valve and alternate between fields ( NEW-OLD-NEW-...) Here are the options when it comes to diverter valves: 1-NDS® 575P Diverter...

Hey guys, The valve that goes to my washing machine is leaking when I open it. The leak comes from the black arrow in the image. I would like to know if the part circled in red is a nut that I can tighten to solve the problem. Note: I tried but that piece didn't move (maybe I need to apply more...

I was shutting off the water supply via the shut-off valves shown (circled in red) in order to replace the shower valve cartridge. However, they're in pretty bad shape and leaking a bit as I was turning them to the off position. I need to find replacement stems for them, but I'm not sure how to...

I'm wondering if anyone recognizes this ball valve brand. I'd really want to avoid installing a new valve just for not having a handle :( I've included a few pictures to help visualize this. This is the main-water ball valve that didn't have the handle when I bought the place. However, I've...

PHOTO The valve on the end of a polybutylene line is leaking and the valve won't come off (I tried dousing the entire thing in WD40, won't budge). I did some research and it seems I can use a "Shark Bite" on the end of the line but it also seems that many plumbers are against using "Shark...

Where do people go to get pumps fixed. Does this site have some folks that are stand up folks willing to fix a diaphragm and see what they can do about a screw hole on the square motor/pump connection flange. I love this pump it runs no problem except for steady light running of water under the...

I have a leaky radiator valve in my house. I've tried just tightening up the nut, but I'm really struggling to move it. Just wondering if tightening is all that's needed or did this valve need replaced? Hopefully it's clear from the photos that there is a lot of black oxidisation on the valve...

Hi, I called my gardener when one of the valves in the front yard started leaking. He replaced the top part with Superior brand, and charged $150. I’m not handy, so I can’t do this myself. I’m in Los Angeles. Does that price seem reasonable? Thanks in advance, Bonnie

Hard to describe the noise but my toilet makes this engine sound after I flush. It doesn’t sound like foghorn or hissing to me but please have a listen the video I posted. I found some videos on YouTube which suggested this could be from vibration noise from toilet water valve due to air...
