    Washer connection box install-thoughts?

    I finished it all up. I ended up using connection with pex clamps so I didn't have to worry about threaded fittings. My wife is happy to have a fully functional washer. Now to find a permanent location for the dryer... Sent from my SM-S367VL using Tapatalk

    How do I remove countertop without damaging it?

    Definitely staples. I don't want to damage the bottom of the countertop while trying to pry up the entire surface.

    Washer connection box install-thoughts?

    Thank you for the insight. Not the leak source but I was unaware of the rubber washer so I learned still, thank you! The leak is an ever so slight drip from the 90* push on sharkbite at the top. It is leaking from the threaded segment where it connects to the supply valve for the washer itself...

    Washer connection box install-thoughts?

    Got it finished up today. The fnpt fitting that connects to the water supply valve gave me grief. I used pipe dope but it leaked, so I switched to teflon tape, still leaking but just a drip every 20 min or so. I'll be looking for a 1/2" PEX washer supply valve to replace this one. While I was in...

    Washer connection box install-thoughts?

    I will be tying in where the blue tape marks are on the drain line. It is post kitchen sink p-trap so will have it's own p-trap. Do I need another vent for the washer drain or will the one already installed suffice? (See top of existing drain downpipe) Sent from my SM-S367VL using Tapatalk

    Washer connection box install-thoughts?

    I have started my washer supply box project. I decided to install a separate drain stand pipe and tie in to the kitchen sink drain. I did not use a standard washer supply outlet box, I instead opted to do things differently. I found a "hide-a-vent" box that was much smaller and will fill...

    Washer connection box install-thoughts?

    Unconventional set up 2019 M-33. We just bought a small washer and separate dryer so we can be more self sufficient, and avoid trips to the laundromat. I don't have any permanent connections for the washer so I plan on installing a connection box. Here are my options, both at the same end of the...

    PEX Sharkbite connector thoughts?

    I think I'm going to use the stainless clamp style connections vs. the push fittings. In the long run the tool will be more cost effective than buying press connections ever time I replace a fitting or make a modification. Sent from my SM-S367VL using Tapatalk

    Leak from water heater thermostat?

    Leak from water heater thermostat?

    My 2019 Mallard M-33 has a model GC6AA-10E water heater. Today I removed the water heater to search for a leak that is slowly saturating the water heater support platform. After removing the styrofoam insulation I discovered mineral build up that appears to originate from the point where the...

    Furnace not igniting

    I haven't read any comments in this thread about the sail switch. If your sail switch is malfunctioning then the furnace will not "see" proper airflow from the blower motor and will not ignite. This happened to me just last month. Check your sail switch. It may be dirty or bad. I found a...
