Toilet works and don't see any leaks! :thumbsup:
Good thing Ace is only a few minutes away - had the wrong valve. :BangHead: House is all piped with 1/2" copper. So, I ASSumed the threaded nipple sticking out of the wall was 1/2" Wrong!- 3/8". Also, this is the absolute lowest point in the system, so had to drain it all down. Did I mention how much I love plumbing?

Copper is at an all time high it is trading at 4.25-4.50 per pound Jodi purchases copper as a commodity by the ton every day. They do not anticipate it coming back down this year. On plus side we just had to buy a kilogram of B12 and it was 3500 dollars a pound! So by comparison copper is still cheap!
 
Shirts for those that requested mail, will be in tomorrow's mail.
Those who requested Mopars in the Park.

Carlisle I will be there one day.
Probably the first day. If I miss you see Hoppy or Mopar Tim.

I just looked online and they have a very similar, but shorter fitting for 2bucks and change. Not sure why the big $ diff but these are going back. Actually decided I am just going to get the sweat in valves and do it all copper.
