Tool Tips

Recently, while doing an emergency water heater replacement, I needed some lube for the small O-rings on the mixing valve. 

We keep super glue on the truck for any time we run into needing an O-ring, but don't have the exact size. 

I have been reading a lot of tips about setting toilet bowls. 

We are a full service plumbing company. There are times when we have to gain access to the roof of million dollar homes. 

I have seen and experienced draining a water heater for replacement, and the drain is clogged and won’t let out any water.

When installing a shower arm or hand held hose wall elbow, thread a ½" coupling onto the male ends and select the appropriate size pipe nipple to use as a lever.

Carry lengths of pipe in a standard cargo van and eliminate roof racks.

Every time I installed an ice maker supply line, I was always concerned that it may leak — pushing and pulling on the fridge. 

The customer says there is water at the base of the toilet after flushing, which means you get to replace the wax seal.
