Clearing a slow sink

To clear a slow vanity or pedestal sink, you'll need a small plunger, wet washcloth and rubber gloves if you don't want to touch gook... Fill the sink half way, wet the washcloth and place it over or into the overflow slot and begin to plunge the drain. Forcefully plunge until you start to get, hair, skin and soap scum out of the drain. Clean the gook or gunk out of the sink, put it in a plastic bag and repeat plunging until you don't get any gook from the drain. The water in the bowl should drain out quickly. Fill the bowl up with hot water and drain it out to confirm the drain is now clear. TA-DA

Water Heater

The most time-consuming part of installing a water heater, is the correct prepping and installation of the cold water supply fittings. I have found a much faster and more professional-looking way to accomplish this is to use a product called The Tomahawk Valve Kit.
The kit has all the correct fittings preassembled for the cold water supply. Just attach the preassembled Tomahawk Valve Kit to the water heater, install the expansion tank, and bingo--you are wrapping up. I have found that my 2 1/2 hour water heater installations are cut to 1 hour or less when I use The Tomahawk Valve Kit.

You can purchase these items individually and spend the time to assemble them...











...or you can simply purchase the preassembled Tomahawk Valve Kit. This new product is now available from PSinc. Valveworx. The Tomahawk comes all made up, fully insulated, and ready to install. The cost is comparable to the retail cost of the combined individual parts, and the time savings are enormous.














I have been using these valve kits as a professional plumber for years, and they have saved me thousands of hours.
