Dressing up Pex/Kitec Toilet Supply Lines
Comments (5)Thanks for the UV tip Mongo. I actually knew that but forgot for some reason. If it's behind the toilet and not in direct line with the window then is UV still a problem? i.e. can it bounce off the side of the vanity and then breakdown the Kitec? Believe it or not, thats a serious question. I assume some sort of tape or sleeve (chrome) would help against the UV? If I can't find chrome anywhere, how bad will the foil HVAC tape look? Better than light blue? Horrible? And what about nice flange/escutcheon plates? Anyone?...See MoreShutoff valves 3/8 or 1/2?
Comments (1)3/8" is the standard for all faucets. In a structure where the static line pressure is greater than 60psi but less than 85psi we use 1/4" to reduce the pressure to the faucet and thereby reduce splashing. 1/2" is reserved for special applications and as a rule would not be encountered in a residential structure....See MoreFixing a Broken Dewalt Tile Saw Water Pump: Snapped Output Line
Comments (4)The replacement part is about $10.00 I think. I used about $15.00 in parts for the fix and about a half hour of time. Saved me a good half day or full day of lost time so I think the band aid repair was worth the effort. I'm glad it worked and glad it will maybe save someone else out down the road. I'm sure a chubby Slurpee Straw might work as well or any hard flexible plastic and some duct tape....See MoreRepair or replace old toilets?
Comments (11)The first picture looks like a fluid master, a low cost, DIY replacement, can be noisy. Fluidmaster has different replacement kits...I recommend the “replace all” kit, vs individual kits for each component. Fluidmaster used to, may still does, advertise, “if there is a leak you will hear it” or something similar. I recommend against replacing the toilets, they maybe worthy of having parts replaced. FWIW, if you replace your toilets, you may have to use lower water use toilets, some of the low usage toilets do not clear the bowl, and or are noisy....See Morebusboy
