It looks like our toilet water shut off valve is leaking. We are trying to turn off the water by turning the lever on the hot water heater, but this only turned off the hot water. So the cold water is still not turned off? We thought the one lever at the hot water heater would turn it all off, but it didn't work. Is there actually a separate water shut off valve for cold water in my house? Help!!
Every house should have a water meter and a shut off point close by. This will isolate ALL water cold and hot water included. With shut off valves, you can usually just take the guts out and replace them with the guts from a new one. Take a couple close up pics of your shut off valve and show them to a plumbing assistant at any DIY store such as Home Depot. They can find you the right product. In order to replace the guts, all you need is a larger crescent wrench and a set of channel lock pliers. I would recommend having a small bucket handy to catch any loose water. Prior to taking anything apart once youve shut the water off, I would run the cold water in a basement sink or main floor sink to reduce the pressure and water quantity.
i have a mitsubishi eclipse 1993 and its running too lean my old smog paper said the hc's (hydrocarbons) are too high. would a egr valve temp sensor make it do that if its fualty? or could it be someting else?

The water shutoff valvue has a slow leak where the hose connects. Its right were the hose to the tank connects to the shutoff valve.....I also noticed when I close the shut off valve it doesnt stop the water completely. Does the whole setup need to be replaced, and if so, is it difficult? Or will just replacing the hose correct the leak?I figured the constant running wasnt a huge deal if there was no leak because you leave the water on anyways, so there is always constant water pressure there.
as for the actual leak replace the supply tube to the toilet (it's called a closet supply tube)and don't get the braided one with the rubber gaskets already made into it i've repaired thousands of dollars of damage caused by them.get the poly supply tube,toilet supply nut, 3/8 compression nut and 3/8 teflon ferrule.(ferrule goes tapered end into valve)if the valve has to be replaced it depends on what type of water lines your house is plumbed with to determine difficulty of replacement.try a new washer---turn off water to house and drain best as possible.open toilet supply valve all the way and remove stem by unscrewing packing nut (the one the valve stem comes out of)you have to turn handle and packing nut to completely unthread it.replace washer and re-assemble. good luck.(p.s. hold valve still with opposing wrench or pliers so as not to twist pipe in wall or floor.
I'm looking for a valve that can be electronically controlled to open and close with a diameter of 1.5'(inches) to 2'(inches) and this valve must be able to withstand 20psi. Any websites or listings of stores I can go to would much appreciated. Thank you
good question! i understand of no good reason to not have some style of vent equipment on any motor vehicle. you like some style of crankcase ventilation equipment. the two an evacuation equipment for a drag vehicle or a PCV for a street vehicle. there's no reason to not use a PCV on a street vehicle. How did they music the engine? Did they use your headers? in the event that they ran it on a dyno, then that's going to in many situations be extremely lean interior the real international. Dyno tuning grant you with a competent beginning factor for installation any engine. How a great way off grew to become into the carb, you reported they replaced some jets. have been the heads quickly burn GM VORTEC heads? grew to become into the 22 stages improve on the crank or on the distributor? opposition SBC engines in many situations like approximately 35-38 stages finished improve beginning at an preliminary 18-20 with improve beginning at approximately 1500 with finished improve being performed at around 3000 rpm. Vacuum advances are infamous for over advancing, they do have the entire factor approximately giving extra constructive gasoline mileage and drivability for street automobiles. A street engine under easy load will stand lots of improve, which a vacuum improve will grant.
Bought a 1986 GMC 350day 1 started up good - idle was rough - idle really too low, when brakes where applied, it would backfire. (day 2) Changed oil which was really dark - oil filter too... ghanged spark plugs and wires. % 10 improvement... Engine lack power and vibrates but no more backfire.day 4 Changed Cap and rotor - % 30 improvement - day 5 Got the manifold gasket replaced. Same condition but silent... day 6 Changed coil in cap ... Changed fuel filter % 60 improvement... The thing ran like new... Full power I started beliving again..Got full oil pressure 300 kpa - no valve noise Ran 30 minutes on highway.... Valves started making noise especially on driver's side... Engine lost lots of power, and vibrates a lot... doesnt heat up to much but oil pressure seems very low. (day 7) Start up the thing, and even when cold and choke on, oil pressure not as good as in the beginning. What went wrong
What went wrong? Bought a 1986 GMC 350. Solution? (day 8) buy a Ford
My friend is having 3 valves in her heart replaced with pig valves. Her dr said that putting in human valves raises the risk of her body rejecting them but wouldnt your body also reject a part form different species? And if they only last a few years why use them at all? shes all freaked out about the surgery so I dont want to ask her too many questions
Hello again. The valve I have implanted in me is porcine. Pig valves are sometimes used for a few reasons. First of all, they are much easier to get a hold of. Waiting for a human valve can take a long time. Secondly, there is less risk of rejection. These two reasons make a porcine valve better than having a human valve. You can also have metal valves, but when you have one or more of these you must take crazy medications for your entire life. With porcine valves, no extra medications are needed. So, porcine valves are really the best option. Like I said in a previous answer to one of your questions, I had my surgery when I was 16. I'm 22 now and doing alright. My valve is expected to last 10-15 years, so I expect to go under the knife to have it replaced when I'm 26-31. Unfortunately I have other issues and will have to have the surgery done earlier, and they'll probably change the valve while they're in there already. As far as I know, porcine valves last just as long as human valves. Whichever you have, it's going to clog up eventually anyways.
Hi, this is a part 2 question to the one I posted last night. After turning the water shut off valve on my toilet back on, it didnt start to hammer till about 1 min pasted. When the hammering is happening I look in the toilet tank and see air bubbles coming out of the base of the fill valve and the water coming out of the fill tube isn't smooth and flowing its kinda step wise/ in intervals. I forgot to mention that I live in an apartment, does this affect anything?My official question is, is this an air bubble problem or is it a rubber gasket/ rubber seat problem?This is a new building only about 2 yrs old, so parts can't be that bad right?
Air in lines. Leave valve on and push float down manually til it runs smooth.
I'm 16 and I have a Minor Heart Valve leak, I have to take pills every time I have dental work done, and my aunt said something about maybe looking at surgery. Is it really anything to worry about? is surgery something i should really look at? and are pills really necessary?
The pills before dental work are necessary, yes. When you have a problem with one or more of your heart valves you're at increased risk of endocarditis (poor dental care/not taking the pills is the most common cause of endocarditis) and, if you get that, you'll be left feeling very sick and stuck in hospital, plus endocarditis can cause heart failure or even death so it isn't something to dismiss lightly. Whether or not surgery is an option at the moment for you is something you'll have to discuss with your own doctor. If it isn't stopping you from doing things you want to do in your everyday life, then it almost certainly isn't needed yet. If/when you do decide to have the valve repaired/replaced, you may not need any actual surgery. Increasingly more and more hospitals, incl. mine, are doing valve repairs and replacements without the need for surgery. They do it in the catheter lab, using a catheter (thin plastic tube) threaded up through your blood vessels (usually going into your groin) to your heart. That way you just need a sedative rather than an anaesthetic, plus people are in and out of hospital the same day with nothing more than a band aid to show they've had anything done. Even if your hospital is still only doing surgical repairs/replacements, it is a common, routine and safe surgery. It has a success rate greater than 98% and 96% of people who have it done find they need no further work on the valve for at least another 15 years. If eventually you do decide to have the leaky valve replaced tho. you will have to take anti-coagulant medication (warfarin pills) every day, and have regular blood tests, for the rest of your life. If you're pretty much free of medication and doctor's appointment's at the moment, it's* another thing to consider before making any decision to get your valve replaced. (*how you'll feel about taking daily medication and having to get frequent blood tests from now 'til eternity)
