Zero Lead or Lead free Brass fittings made in the USA?

I'm looking to buy 2 items, 1 1/4" Close nipple and a 1 1/4" to 1" Brass reducing coupler. I want it made in the US and zero lead if possible. It is VERY difficult to find what I'm looking for. Any suggestions?

Why was my last comment removed? I asked an honest question. I Google'd and found nothing.

Plumbing and Piping
Boiler and water heater connected together?

F

fxcarden on Jul 31, 2018

Getting familiar with the systems in my son's new house, I discovered that the boiler's water intake is a branch off the HOT line on the water heater. I have never seen this before and was wondering (a) WHY? (b) IS IT COMMON?. It makes no sense to me. Thanks in advance for the responses / education.

sewer venting and toilets

C

cheinemann on Jul 28, 2018

I had some generic questions regarding sewer venting and toilets. Based on reading, it is suggested that as a "rule of thumb" that a toilet must be located within 5'-6' of the sewer stack. That being said, there has been discussion of remodeling a portion of the house (on main floor) , and adding a 1/2 or 3/4 bath. This location currently has plumbing (washer and dryer reside here). This location is roughly ~ 20' from the existing stack. There has also been a utility sink location plumbed to this location (done by me), and it does have an issue draining slowly, which I am guessing is due to lack of venting, since I just added a tee to the washer drain (in the basement) to supply a drain for the utility sink. Currently, near the washer drain connects to the main drain (in the basement), there is a section of pipe that is a square that is tied to the drain that I am guessing acts as a vent pipe for the washer drain. My guess is that if I took out the square section of vent pipe, and tied that directly to the sewer stack that this would provide sufficient vent supply to add a toilet to this space? Any advice is greatly appreciated.Read More
