in THE MAIN WALL
Do-it-Yourself Plumbing (name of company)

Know someone needing a replacement toilet lid for an odd color/shape/old age? They have hundreds--all well organized.

When I was last there they had a smorgasbord of iron radiators as well.

Sorry for goof--Wetstock III

    D.I.Y. Plbg...

    been there, bought this, tested that (radiators) even dropped off things to them that are getting rare. I think they pay $5.00 per toilet if it's still intact. Funny thing is, it is ilegal to re-use any plumbing fixture in Colorado without specific written permission from the full board of the Board of Plumbing Examiners. Virtually impossible to do. Intentionally.

    But it goes on, and on, and on...

    They are also famous for selling non barrier tube and then selling ferrous components to work on same system. When confronted with the corrosion that occurs they claim there is probably a leak in the system someplace, caused by installer (owner) error. I've personally condemned numerous of their contributions to the hydronic world. Can they work? Sure, as long as the HO is aware of the need for annual maintenance as it pertains to the fluids. Most aren't, and even if they were made aware, they'd forget.

    When was the last time you checked the air tire pressure in your tires?

    When was the last time you oiled that old circulator?

    When was the last time you really hugged your boiler?

    I hugged mine this morning...except I don't have a "boiler". I have a high efficiency hydrogen gas powered thermal converter.

    DIY is going to be in business for ever. They make a MINT at that place. They're soul source for numerous makes and models. They REP them and SELL them to anyone with a pulse.+

    Great place for leg style cast iron soaking tubs too.

    Watch the radiators, they don't guarantee them, hence on site testing. I'd rather not wrastle with them any more than I have to. they usually win:-)

    Aw heck!

    I just looked at it as a good place to find old things. Made one client really happy when I found the lid to their really old toilet.

    The new stuff they were selling didn't even earn a glance.

    Only there twice--found the lid once and a small rad that I canibalized the other.
