Re: Smart Thermostats and Single Pipe Steam Systems
Not a fan of all the tinkering, but some have had success. I still go back to the Best for Steam...Honeywell T -87....even the newer non-mercury ones are better than the Smart ones, I have found. If you can pick up an older model WITH mercury, at a Yard sale or what have you...GRAB IT and put it in... Mad Dog 🐕
I'm only joking Mad.
We all know you can't put mercury in the trash.
It must be properly disposed of, I believe by whoever collects hazardous waste in your area.

Re: Trouble Removing a soldered fitting
Wrap a wet rag around the fitting you don't want to loosen.

No luck needed. Just need to know the codes.
Re: Poor plumbing installation in an expensive bathroom 🚻
so they put in a new flange and set it too low, they didn't just build up tile next to the existing flange? i'm not sure i'd count on the integrity of that tile...

Re: InSinkErator Garbage Disposal
I just replaced a badger with the same thing (in April) and had the same issue. Somehow I got it to line up to the existing piping ok.
Maybe it will fall off the sink LOL but hasn't yet. I like the older version of the lock ring

Re: InSinkErator Garbage Disposal
Thanks, @dko.
I like their use of the word "simply". And it does not make installation easier.
But I'll watch the video. Maybe I've got something to learn.

Re: InSinkErator Garbage Disposal
So.
It's like everything else.
To make it easier for unskilled people and make other's lives harder.

InSinkErator Garbage Disposal
On my last disposal installation with a Badger V, I came across a modification of the clamping ring. It has a small bump out on the inside of the ring that keys into a notch on the disposal body - see attached photo. The bottom ring has the bump out.
It turns out to be a big deal as it prevents you from orienting the disposal in the direction most beneficial. It only gives you 3 choices for mounting.
Just very curious as to why they did this.
