I have 2 that look just like that but only 1.5A. One has been in service year round for 1 year and the other about 2 years and they are still going strong.

Welcome from Missouri. I grew up in Weatherford and still go back a couple times a year. Amazing how much the area has changed in the 15 years since I moved away.

You want it right on the finished floor.

Probably not. The water adjustment valve will sometimes cause the same symptoms and is also relatively inexpensive. I would give Navien tech support a call. They are second to none and will diagnose the issue in minutes.

Directly under the buffer tank, there is a 2-way valve for the recirculation pump. If it is set to external, switch it over to internal and see if it resolves the issue. If so, you have a bad check valve. Very cheap part and a quick fix. It's a common problem.

Thinner the better when it comes to burgers. It's all about that crust from the maillard reaction.

This may be a dumb question but why are you using the garage door to get in and out a dozen times per day? Surely there is a front door to the house?

Maybe I'm just cheap but there's no way I would leave them behind if I had them. I priced out my garage project and it was going to be about $2,500 for Freeflow tiles. Everyone talks about how easy they are to install and remove if needed so it seems silly to not take them with you, especially...

Thanks for the replies guys. Forgot to mention that I really only need the 5/8'' size. The gearwrench look like they would work great for this application. Does anyone know the overall length of the 5/8 wrench from that set?

Hey guys. I'm a plumber and I'm looking for the best tool to tighten supply line nuts to stops quickly and painlessly. I've always used pliers which are fine when you can break the nut loose and unthread by hand the rest of the way but more often than not, a tool needs to be used to take it all...

As a plumber it is had for me to imagine working the rest of my career using only channellocks after experiencing Knipex. The difference is night and day. I used channellocks for a long time but they are now relegated to hammer duty. For gripping pipe they are pure garbage compared to Knipex.

You usually want to use 6-7 wraps with that thin white tape. I prefer the thicker stuff and use 3 wraps but the thin tape takes more wraps.

12" rough will be fine. Don't even worry about it.

Tapcons and a 4x3 Sioux Chief TKO with Stainless collar. Cut pipe flush to the floor with long sawzall blade and glue the flange in. I always stand on it for about 30 seconds after gluing to make sure it sits all the way down.

The female adapters are not needed in this situation. Remove them and sweat the pipe right into the valve.
