Rumbling when hot water on
What about it?
So quite recently there is a loud rumbling when I turn my hot water on. I've read it could be due to high water pressure, but its only just started doing it out of nowhere. I've checked my mains and can't see what I know to be a pressure regulator valve. This (photo) is under my kitchen sink, is the pressure valve? If not can anyone help me understand how to lower my water pressure please?
NewB questions
What about it?
Haven’t been in this sub for long so have some questions. Sorry if these have already been answered a zillion times. Pulled this from our master bath shower this morning after some recent slow draining.
1. Is there an established naming convention for these wet bunnies? Like hurricanes are named in alphabetical order, so I was thinking Allison (the girl who dumped me in fifth grade) or Amanda (my favorite rock ballad).
2. What is the theoretical nutritional content of this mass, and do I just stick it in the microwave for a minute or does a crockpot draw out more flavor?
3. Is there an objective gag reflex scale for humans? Perhaps something equivalent to the Scoville scale? If it doesn’t already exist would it make more sense to use a linear scale or go straight to exponential?
4. Is it considered prudent that I tell my wife that I used her toothbrush for the final cleanup under the drain grate? TIA
Which shutoff valve?
What about it?
My stall shower has a steady leak and I’ve been told to take the existing valve cartridge to properly match a new replacement. The shower does not have shutoff valve so I need to shut the main valve. Which would that be the red, black, or yellow valve? TIA
What kind of tank is this
What about it?
Our toilet has started taking a long time to fill up after flushing. When I opened the tank, I was greeted with a style I've never come across before, and I haven't been able to find out the right arrangement of letters and spaces to make Google happy. Can someone just tell me what it is and I can go from there? If it helps, the brand is Glacier Bay.
Anything wrong with capping this plumbing for a wet bar?
What about it?
We won’t have any use for this wet bar plumbing in our updated layout. Wife won’t let me put in a water bottle filler either. Anything wrong with capping the supplies? It’s a slab so there’s not much of a choice, I know the stagnant water could be an issue. I also just wanted to remove the trap and cap the tee w/ a clean out but leave the vent. It’ll have an access too in case anything needs to change in the future.
