Some Information about Plumbing and Plumbing tools
Globe valves are named for their spherical body shape. The two halves of the valve body are separated by a baffle with a disc in the center. Globe valves operate by screw action of the handwheel. They are used for applications requiring throttling and frequent operation. Since the baffle restricts flow, they're not recommended where full, unobstructed flow is required.
Some Plumbing DOs and DON'Ts
DO - If the water leak is below the toilet, first check the
water pipe where tank and bowl are connected together. If there
is no sign of water on the floor around the pipe, chances are
your toilet needs to be lifted and a new wax ring installed
(refer to toilet installation).
DO - If you go on vacation or are away from home for a few days,
always shut off your water supply to your home.
DO - Keep heat on where water pipes and drain pipes are located
in your home, when temperature is 32 degrees or colder.
