Q:i just bought a junky trumpet, didnt come with a mouthpiece... how can i tell that the valves work? They press in and dont stick, but im not sure about their functioning. Also there are no caps on the valves, will this affect playing? lastly, it has a stuck tuning slide, how can i get this to work again?

whilst i develop into in intense college, I performed on a 3C and had a particularly good sound. in my view, i could in no way visit a smaller, shallower mouthpiece to play intense. i could quite develop my chops and be waiting to do it on a deeper mouthpiece. In college, I switched to and nonetheless at present play a Monette B2, that's analogous length to a a million a million/4C, and characteristic an excellent sound, and might play a intense G (4 ledger lines above the staff) and up on it. i exploit it for any group I play in, marching, stay overall performance, musical theatre, etc... ultimately it boils all the way down to private preferrence. %. the mouthpiece that feels the terrific to you and nonetheless can provide a good sound. you do not pick it so great and deep that your variety and sound go through, and you do not pick is purely too small and shallow which you get too outstanding and tinny of a sound. wish this facilitates.

Q:I think I have a bad valve steam seals because when I start the car white-grayish smoke comes out of the back of the car. When let sit for 2 or more hours start car and smoke comes out everytime. Will a valve adjusment fix the problem? Thanks

Well, it can only get from bad to worse, costing double as much everytime. For now if you leave it, you will need to top up your engine oil very often, and your fuel consumption will become higher as engine friction is higher and ignition sealing is poor (high blowby gases). This means also lower efficiency of the vehicle. If the weather is hot, the engine will have a higher probability of overheating after operating for long periods of time (say 3 hours or so).... but the real danger is if you keep it this way, your crankshaft and connecting rod bearings will start to scuff little by little, which might cost you a very heavy engine overhaul. My advice: send it to a technician now, as it will require special tooling to tighten the cylinder head, remove/install valve springs, and maybe some shim calibration if it is an old model. Valves must also be inspected, and their guides as may have worn out. Give to specialist, I say, unless you have the patience and spirit to experiment.

Q:Compare and contrast stenosis and regurgitation (insufficiency) in terms of the functional abnormality associated with the valve leaflets and their effects on hemodynamic parameters such as stroke volume.

Q:We have an oil steam system. There are Dole valves - 1A on each of the radiators. We bought new ones. They don't seem to be working. They look like a bullet shape with a screw in (on the side of the bullet) to the radiator. On the top of the bullet is a slit with numbers 1-10 on a dial. A picture we saw on the web showed a plastic piece of tubing in the screw part which looks like it goes into the radiator. If we remove the valve, the radiator gets hot with steam coming out of the hole. With the new valve on, the radiator barely gets warm. We're in Piscataway, NJ 08854. H-E-L-P.

First off these are vents , the valves are at the bottom of the radiator where the pipes come in. Sounds like the vents are either closed or broken. Try turning the adjustment screw if that doesn't work I recomend replacing the with vent from a company called ventrite the valve you are looking for is a vent rite #1. These are adjustable vents used to balance the heat throughout your unit the dial at the bottom is labeled 1-8 start with all of them on 8. Now when the radiators heat up if you find some are getting hotter faster turn those down a notch and check again in a day or so.

Q:Hey quick Q, I heard somewhere that you could degrease the the reed valve? I love cleaning up my CR250 as much as I can. I just want to know if this is done, and if you could, tell me where I'm supposed to clean.Thanks.

Spray degreaser down the air intake-that should fix it.

Q:this question is related to Ball valves, In actuated valve for the selection of actuator we need differential pressure across the valve so I wanted to know that what is meant by differential pressure?

Q:I think the piece leaking is a valve;it is one solid piece of copper with two tubes, one which is a half inch that connectsinto the incoming hot water and then a small outgoing one that connects to the faucet and I don't know how to find a replacement part .. I think it is a Delta but I am not sure ... the house is 10 years old but where can I just find a valve instead of replacing the entire faucet if I don't know what the make or model is ?Any websites with pics of replacement valves for Roman Tubs??

Remove the valve and take it to a plumbing supply store. Home Depot and the like may have what you're looking for; but you're more likely to find it at a plumber's supply. They are the only ones I've ever found who carry odd bits.

Q:I was diagnosed by 2 places that my 1995 chevy lumina needed a new egr valve due to the check engine light being on. I got a new EGR valve but the check engine light is still on. Evidently there is something else wrong with the car. Since the check engine light is still on would you figure that my EGR valve is still good and that the light comes on for some other problem?

i think your right. I'm not sure but a think your EGR valve is vacuum operated. If so, there is a vacuum solenoid to control the vacuum to the egr valve. There is also intake vacuum to this solenoid. Could be no vacuum to solenoid or a bad solenoid or wires controlling the solenoid. But also could be a completly different problem other than egr. You need to go back to the shop that put on the egr valve and find out why the egr valve didnt fix your problem. And either have them fix it right or get your money back.

Q:Help! I've got this leaky CPVC valve in a new plumbing setup for a water heater. It only drips when open. :( It's going to be a real pain to replace it. Is there any way to tighten this thing up? It looks like there is a plastic pop off panel on the knob for the valve but I'm not sure. Thanks for any help!

Turn off the main water to your house. Turn that valve to open. Then tighen the nut on it (slightly), see if the valve will close , if yes; then tighten it a little more, then see if the valve will close. If yes - that should do it. If the nut is so tight that the valve will not close, then loosen the nut just a tad. That should do it, ......... now, turn the valve off. Turn back on the main water to your house -- and see if that works.
