Q:Movers messed up the valve so hose won't screw in w/o leaking

Buy a new valve at an appliance parts outlet. Make sure it's the right one. Many times they will come with instructions. Unplug the unit. Shut off the water and remove the hoses. Remove the back panel to access the valve. Remove the old broke valve and replace it with the new one. Replace the panel. Attach the hoses and turn on the water. Check for leaks. Plug in the unit and give it a test. Try all the temperature settings. Congratulations. You are now a professional..

Q:like my Acura has a 16v 4clyinder engine , and i dont know what valves does , the more vavles the faster?

Valves are in the Cylinder Head, They let Air and Fuel into the combustion chamber. 4 vavles let more air and fuel in than 2 vavles, Which makes more power.

Q:I threw a birthday party last night, all went well until 2am when a crazy (drunk!) lady cut all the wires from my heating system (i guess as a prank??? dunno, she is never invited back). I have everything up and running when using one thermostat and connecting the thermostat wires (red directly to tv, Brown directly to W, and white directly to T) and not using the two Honeywell zone valves (model number V8043F. How do I connect those two zone valves to the L8148E aquastat?The valves have on bottom Th-TR, TH and TR and the two top screws are labeled end switch.If you need photos I can take them :)Thanks in advance!

Q:here are pix's i want to no, if there is a easy fix or does it have 2 b machined thanksi think it use to have a bent valve in it

There is really no such thing as has to but there is a thing as ought to. You should put good used heads in a machine shop for a clean up and restoration. The worse they are, the more they need new seats, seals, guide clean up with new valves, surfacing and so on.

Q:The water shut off valve that is under my sink in the bathroom is leaking and I need to replace it. I am wondering if I need soder the new one or can I just put some thread tape around it.

TURN THE STOPCOCK OFF OUTSIDE ..DRAIN WATER OUT OF THE TAP AND REPLACE WITH NEW ..

Q:ok im buying an aftermarket blow off valve for my car. the car itself is taken apart completely and i have no idea wht vacuum lines go where. i know tht the top nipple of the bov has to be connected to the throttle body but it has 5 lines. does it matter what line is connected to it?

Don't do it. First of all, if you knew enough about turbo charging or supercharging, blow off valves, bypass values, hooters, etc., then you would have known we need to know the size of engine, model of turbo, piping diameter, etc. The actual control lines are not that complex. By using your tongue you can tell what each line is ported to, and then you just need to know if you blow off valve is operated by vacuum or lack of vacuum. They make both types. And your throttle body will have ports on both sides of the plate. And yes, it does very much matter. Turbo charging is not for the novice to fool around with.

Q:I am a junior piping engineer. I want to know what is the meaning of term Triple Eccentric in Triple Eccentric Butterfly ValveButterfly Valve. So kindly enlighten me.

Good question but I think I found your answer. Hope this helps. Triple eccentric means:- 1)First eccentric is the offset between the shaft centre line and the disc trunnion centre line. 2)Second eccentric is the offset between the body centre line and the disc centre line. 3)The third and the most important is the eccentric in the sealing(multiple) itself such that if you draw a imaginary contour line between the sealing shape vs the body centre,It becomes a cone with one side flat on surface.(I hope my words are clear enough to make you understand). The reason for this shape is because it gives better sealing ability for the valve.eg:- Fire safe valves are triple eccentric valves which are also called pyrogenic valves.The sealings are multiple in nos. and together they form a pyrogenic shape therefore this sealing is also called pyrogenic sealing.

Q:how long do people usually live after mitral valve repair?

depends on luck and how you deal with life?

Q:I want to wash it but don't know what to oil the valves with because I was told not to use mellophone/trumpet valve oil so would the sewing machine oil be okay to use with out damaging me Horn?I not any other safe substitutions?

If you have a Walmart nearby you are in good shape. Sewing machine oil is too thick for the valves, it will slow them down....... not damage the horn. Mot on this oil later, A great replacement for rotor oil is lantern oil from Walmart or a hardware store. It is what is burned in old type oil lamps. It comes in quarts and is very cheap. You can also get different aromas in some stores. Sewing machine oil should NOT be used inside the valves....... but it is recommended for the little crack where the moving part of the valve comes out of the bottom of the valve case. It is also what you can use on the top of the valve under the valve cap. So rotor oil INSIDE THE VALVE and Sewing machine oil on the top and bottom bearings.

Q:I have a 04 Ford Ranger 4.0L . some people are saying that headers may affect the EGR valves and might put up the check engine light on. is this true or not.

Check out what they call the DPFE sensor or the egr vacuum solenoid. This sensor controls the flow to the egr valve and your code will probably read: EGR insufficient flow. This sensor is very common and it is a dealer item only. 99% sure it isnt your egr itself. Part number : 4U7Z-9J460-AA dpfe sensor $76.40 F63Z-9J459-AA $29.98
