Hello, I purchased this faucet connector hose from Home Depot and I'm trying to figure out what type of adaptor and what size I need.
The description says it is 1/2 in. Compression inlet x 1/2 in Female Iron Pipe outlet, but when you look at the ends, you can see that one end is a little larger than the other. I need an adaptor to make the smaller end the exact same size and type as the larger end (which might actually be 5/16")
You bought a hose that goes from steel pipe to a faucet.
You are connecting a faucet to a valve.
You should need a hose that is 3/8 in. Compression inlet x 3/8 in. Compression inlet.
or possibly 1/2 in. Compression inlet x 3/8 in. Compression inlet.
It would be easier to exchange the hose for the correct one then trying to find an adapter.
@zoesdad - it is for my shower retrofit. Basically my shower valve had a threaded fitting installed on it by the plumber which will then connect to my shower retrofit: https://www.homedepot.com/p/VIGO-Orc...265825#overlay
Seems like then it is just extending a 1/2 pipe, so 1/2 FIP x 1/2 FIP would seem to be correct - if the pipe size is in fact 1/2. So your new choice in post #3 seems right. But I’m not an expert.
Maybe you could try the 1/2 FIP end of the hose you now have (post #1) and make sure it fits on both connections, before you buy the new hose.
I need some assistance and advice on opening up a wall preparing for a plumber to move a drain and 2 water lines for me. I'm not going to be doing the pipe work, too advanced for my lack of plumbing ability. That said, I am looking to cut the drywall and have the space ready for the plumber to save time and cost.
The current drain is in the wall and roughed in, and I have decided to change the location. It will need to move 5 feet, take a turn, then 7 more feet. Total of 12 feet. The plumber estimated that with the allowed drop per foot this was possible. We plan to put the drain and water lines at around 21 inches high at the location in the second photo below above the central vent on the wall in (following the red arrows).
I'd like to cut enough drywall out with a dewalt multi tool (hoping that works, never done this before) starting above the baseboard and up to a height that will work. There are 2 layers of drywall (double thick for sound insulation) and 2x6 behind.

I do have photos of the wall opened up (during initial construction of home) as well I can share. I just misjudged where I would want my bar sink. Sadly.
I was also told I should ask for a "studor vent" due to the distance of the run, does that make sense to everyone?
I appreciate any advice, love this forum!
I have recently acquired a “triple fuel” generator with the desire to run it on natural gas. That is all the previous owner used. He generously provided a new spare set of “quick connect” fittings for the provided gas line that I intend to use for ease of connection to supply. I have a utility bathroom water heater closet on an exterior wall that has a natural gas supply. I intend to tap in there and run thru the wall to an exterior valve and quick connect station. I’m thinking of installing some type of weather right box to house this in. Looking for any suggestions here or examples of this setup that someone else has installed.
Regards
TF
