  • Plumbing: Domestic: Pressure reducers and hot water heaters.?

    I have a 7 y/o Bock HW heater 40 gal. Recently, the pressure relief valve has been dripping a lot. I replaced the valve and installed a pressure gage at the tap used for domestic heating. When a faucet is open, it reads about 20 psi. Close the valve and the gage jumps to 60, then slowly climbs to 120+ psi. This also happens with the heater off (but water plenty hot, about 180F.) Is this a failing regulator or am I seeing expansion from the water in the tank? The regulator is an amtrol 100 UE, which I cannot locate on the web, so I'm guessing it's ancient.

  • In buying hardwood flooring is there a brand that gives primarily longer length strips?

    I've been shopping for pre-finished hardwood flooring (red oak) and was told by an installer that the boxes they are delivered in have quite a few short pieces. Is there a brand that favors longer strips?
