it is branching up out of of the pipe that carries away the waste water. the dishwaher is next to the sink and also drains there I beleive.
it sticks up and ends just under the sink and has a white “cap” with holes in it.
would this setup release odors under my cabinet? I am having problem with odors under the sink
Thanks!

I bought a small counter top Haier dishwasher but since I have a pullout faucet, the fitting to connect the dishwasher water line does not fit.
What I’d like to do is take the soap dispenser out of my sink, and somehow split the hotwater line under the sink and run this for the dishwasher (through the hole where the soap dispenser was).
How it’s currently run is : pipe from basement>shutoff valve>3/8 compression fitting (on one end of the hose)>1/2inch pipe thread (other end of hose)>sink line.
So I guess what I need is something that can fit the end of the hose with the 1/2in pipe thread then splits and has two 1/2in pipe thread connectors on top.
Thanks!

I noticed some condensation in my passenger side headlight one day at my grandmother’s, so we lifted up the hood, and immediately noticed a dark color sort of splatter against the engine, so we figured something might be leaking…on closer inspection, we saw that it appeared as though the radiator was boiling over, and that there might be a crack in it. There’s rust in the front of the radiator and a little down below where the fan is. Obviously because of it being rust, I’m guessing that this has been an ongoing problem.
I’m only seventeen and to be honest, I don’t have anyone that I can turn to when it comes to cars…my parents are divorced, so my dad was obliged to buy the car and that’s it…so I really have no idea what I’m talking about but I’ll try…so here it goes, lol.
I let my car sit at work for the duration of my shift before taking off the radiator cap, and after looking in it, it looked really rusty…there were particles floating in it, and when I touched it, it had just a plain watery consistency. The overflow bottle was as dry as a bone, so I put a some 50/50 Pennzoil coolant/anti-freeze in it to the low mark. I drove the car back home, approx. 30 miles and after letting it sit a little longer, I checked the cap again. This time, it appeared as though the coolant had actually gone through, because inside of the radiator there was a greenish liquid now and it was oily instead of watery. So…I assume that the coolant was being pumped into the radiator.
I’m really afraid to go get it checked out, because I don’t want to only need a flush but then get told that the whole radiator needs replaced. I’ll be honest, I don’t think I can afford to get it fixed, but then again maybe I don’t know what kind of price I might be looking at.
What could have caused this problem? It’s a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant ES with a little over 100k miles on it, I figured that old age and mileage might have just done it. Also, does it sound like it needs flushed, or replaced, or what? And would anyone know what kind of price I might be looking at for either? Finally, I don’t really know if something like this is minor or major, so I don’t know if I should be thinking about starting to consider if my car has a lot of time left in it or not. I just really don’t know, like I said, I’m only seventeen…and I’m a girl! Not that that means anything…=D lol. I’m just not knowledgable when it comes to cars…at all.

We have one of those rubber spray hoses for our sink and it ended up leaking quite a lot. So I thought I could turn off the pipe that the hose is connected to. The problem is that this turned off the hot water tap as well so I decided to go out and buy a compression blanking cap to just cap off the hose connection. So i removed the hose, attached the blanking cap quite tightly with a spanner and turned the water back on. But there is still a leak coming out from that connection and I don’t know why? Do I need to attach something else? And please don’t just tell me to tighten it, because it is as tight as it can go.
Thanks

I have been buying several decorating magazines and like the look of radiators on display in them which have the pipe work coming out of the wall instead of the floor from underneath.
However, I always thought that plumbing and pipes could not be chased into brick or solid walls due to the expansion of the pipes when they heat up.
Have you fitted radiators where you have put the pipes into a solid wall in order to neaten up the pipe work?
Ive seen some designer radiators that are halfway up walls and obviously you wouldnt have pipe work leading from the floor up to the radiator, it would compeltely ruin the look, so where do the pipes go?
Thanks

I moved in 5 months ago and had lots of plumbing problems. well two weeks ago. we found 3 feet off raw sewage in the crawl space under the house. well the last 2 months I been sick with dizzeness vomoting and bad stomach pain. when I went to the hospital the ran cat skan and blood work but really couldn’t tell what the promblem was and still is. I can’t afford to go to doctors. do you think its from the swewage?

I am in the process of finishing my basement. I purchased the house 3 yrs ago as a spec home. I was told by the builder that the basement was “rough plumbed” for a bathroom, but he had a “thin layer” of concrete poured over the plumbing in the event that the purchaser did not want to put in a bathroom. The builder marked the floor with a marker where he said the pipes for the toilet, tub, and sink would be at. I have drilled several holes with a masonry bit, chipped the concrete away down approximately 1″, and I can not locate where the pipes are. Any idea how I can locate the pipes?

We bought our house about a year ago. About a month ago, we noticed a very small leak from somewhere underneat the kitchen. The water is clear, the pipes look fine. About the same time, we’ve noticed that whenever we turn our cold water on, there is a “glunk” sound, then the water comes out, like it is delayed. We are young, first time homeowners without a clue on plumbing. Please Help!

We waste a lot of water at the kitchen sink because the hot water takes too long to come through. I’d like to install an under sink heater. There’s a 240V power socket there already. Ideally the unit would be really small and not require overflow plumbing.

We were in the process of buying a house the sellers and realtor paperwork all signed .I sold a property for less than market value to purchase this property.The property we were going to buy was then sold on the courthouse steps two weeks before we were to move in.We had a home inspection carried out mortgage all arranged etc. The sellers and realtor were even in the property while the inspection was being carried out
I feel the realtor misrepresented this property and caused us to loose a lot of money and stress for my wife and myself. we were basically homeless for about two months.
Do we have any legal recourse on the Realtor and Seller
