Hi. I may need to move the piping which runs to my gas range a few inches. Unfortunately, there's no shut of leading to the range other than the shut off at the meter. I understand that if I shut off the gas at the meter, the gas company may have to come and turn it back on. Attached is a picture of the meter shut off. Is this the type of valve which I cannot turn back on myself? Thanks.
No issue with turning the valve off at the meter. You'll want to of course test any piping changes you make, but you can turn valve on and off as needed.
There should be.... by code..... a shutoff at every gas consuming appliance.
Be sure to at least add one for your range.
That looks like an apartment or multifamily rental facility by the welded supply line.
Tread lightly if I'm correct as that work is supposed to be done by a licensed plumber.
Good eye. I'm in a multi unit townhome, but it's not a rental.
There's a shut off at the range, just not one on the pipe branch which leads up to the range. This shut off is after the regulator, if that makes a difference.
I have quite a bit of water leakage in my garage from a spigot that was added next to a old water softener that is no longer used. It happens at least once a month. I’ve also noted that no major water usage was being done (showering, washing machine, dishwasher ect...) to cause this amount of water to be in my garage. Any ideas as to what may cause this and how I can repair problem.
Hi, I've got a 2" drain that goes from my kitchen and laundry, underneath the basement slab and out to my grease trap.
It always runs pretty slow and the couple of times a year it clogs, I run a fish tape through it and pull back a knotted rope. It's unconventional, but it opens it up enough to get by.
Is there something I could pull through that would sort of scrub the pipe to get rid of the sludge on the walls? I'm picturing a 2" chimney brush. I thought about cinching a few dozen zip-ties on to the rope and cutting them off about an inch or so long, but this prolly isn't going to be very effective.
Ideas?
Thanks!
