Re: Plumbing archaeology
Your getting a lot of sinkers from that job!Exactly! And you never know when a whole section of lead pipe will come in handy. Reminds me of the old murder mystery board game "Clue." Colonel Mustard did it, in the Library, with the Lead Pipe.

Re: Plumbing archaeology
The plumber is coming tomorrow. We'll see what he says. I was hoping we could just pour the concrete floor over everything and call it good for another 20 years, because it's all just drain/waste/vent, no pressure, but I'm guessing the inspector will make us cut out everything back to the cast iron.

Re: Plumbing archaeology
The only trouble with that old lead pipe is... well, there are two. Building inspectors don't like it. But the other is that it sometimes crystallizes and then breaks unpredictably. Ask me how I know...

Re: Sanden SanCO2 HPWH, adding WiFi controller
What's the cost if it doesn't work? $350? I guess you could sell it on AU ebay if 60HZ doesn't hurt it?

Re: How dangerous is this high pressure?
When was the last time someone operated the relief valve? It is supposed to be done annually. You might want to get a 30 PSI relief valve while you are picking up that test gauge. When you operate the relief valve, you may find that is does not work. Then you will have a replacement all ready. You might want to read the word that I put a red box around. I believe they put that word there for a reason. But I might be wrong!
