Need some help capping a pipe
What about it?
I was trying to replace a dishwasher and have ended up a bit in over my head. The water supply coming to the dishwasher is 5/8 plastic pipe (outside diameter) shown in the picture and it needs to go to the 3/8 standard water supply on the new dishwasher.
Honestly at this point I don't even care about hooking it up but I need a way to cap off the water supply since there is no shut off for the line and I have to have the main off at the moment. Or if it's just as easy, a proper way to connect them since what I had done didn't work.
I can't seem to find anything online about capping this kind of pipe so any advice would be really appreciated!
Tankless water heater needs replacement?
What about it?
Dear reader/plumber
Last year we bought and renovated an apartment .
There already was a condensating tankless water heater in it. But after a little research it looks to be in the age range of 12-15 years, and it's service history is unknown. It's a De Dietrich mcr 24/28 mi plus .
I already descaled it, took 70% appart and cleaned every piece I could get my hands on. And we had a technician over to check if my cleaning was ok, and to ''recalibrate'' it.
Now the question is, when do you change a boiler like this? How to check if it's not working like it should and just costing us more money then it should?
The following graf is from taking a normal bath and the second spike is washing my hair.
The unit also provides underfloor heating.
