Home Repair
Notes about our home repairs. Main document is a Google Docs: Household Repairs.
Master Bathroom
The master bathroom and downstairs bathroom use Price Pfister 7G-1H and 7G-1C water faucets.
Tips for Removing/Installing
Turn off water below the faucet. (Of course! But also so you can do the next part.) Then open the tap when you unscrew the step. A closed tap seems to create a vacuum or hydraulic counter pressure.
Leaks at the handle
The bigger O-Ring is Danco's #30 (AS568B# 018). It's 7/8" OD x 3/4" ID x 1/16". (But their #40 is very close at 3/4 in. OD x 5/8 in. ID x 1/16 in.)
The inner O-Ring is Danco's #8 (AS568B# 110). It's 9/16" OD x 3/8" ID x 3/32".
Leak at the faucet
A leak at the faucet is probably caused by the seat washer. The Danco 80359 (fits 3H-8H/C) seems to work.
Water Heater
We used Bay Area Water Heaters in March 2023. Bradford White. 6-year Warranty. Model URG150T6N, Serial YE49862531.
Kitchen Faucet Installation
We went with United Plumbing based on their good reviews.
- Call (408) 763-5199. (Note, got texts from 408-413-0033 which said to text 855-642-6647 instead.)
- Erik Konor did the installation on 2023-04-29
- Didn't speak English well. Spoke Kazakh (from Kazakhstan)
- Didn't know what a dish washer's Air Gap was.
Red Flags
- Didn't look up their license. Maybe it is: 1061226 But can't look it up at Department of Consumer Affairs Contractors State License Board right now. Maybe it should be a C-36 Plumbing license?
