Just called my local hardware store as I need to pick up a
shut off valve to go in half inch copper line. I believe
what I want is referred to as a gate valve (inside totally
retracts to give full unrestricted flow) correct? I asked if
they had these so I could use the shark bite fittings. They
Al,
Maybe I don't understand you, or maybe I don't understand Shark bite or
pex.
If you have Copper line, and you are installing a valve, or replacing an
existing valve, you need a shark bite valve. If you have pex, or are
running new lines, then you can use either a shark bite, or pex valve
Al,
I think you may want a ball valve. They tend to be a lot more reliable than
gate valves.
PEX is not the same thing, it is a plastic material. There are methods of
joining it to copper but I am unfamiliar with any of them except by sweating
threaded fittings onto the ends of the pipes to

Dale Dan,
Thanks to both of you for getting back to me before Terrie gets home and I
go to that damn hardware store. Let me explain what I'm doing and maybe that
will help me better understand the suggestions you guys are making. When I
go away from home I have this thing I am concerned over and
sorry thanks anyways.

I would cut a section of the copper pipe out, where you want the valve, and
get a ball valve with compression fittings.
Shark bite can supposedly work with about any kind of pipe, but if you have
had luck with compression, why spend the extra money.
Ball valves have little to no restrictions when
Al,
I think there are others better qualified to answer your question here,
but if you are cutting a Copper line, and want to install a shut-off
valve, I think your options are a regular valve that has to be sweated on,
a compression fitting, or a shark bite. I don't think that PEX comes into

I'm not a contractor; so I've not done hundreds of them.
But i haven't seen seems where it looked like it would blow apart under
consumer pressure.
I'd go with them, unless *maybe* the set up is outside and going to take
abuse that the copper or galvanized could take as necessity.
On Tue,
I think it used to be called KD for kilm dried.

When reference is made to baked lumber, I am curious if reference is actually
being made to heat modified lumber? I thought I just read in an article,
that there is still question as to whether heat modified lumber will hold up to
moisture, particularly when used in contact with the ground.
If you use the wood for a basement floor make sure to put a heavy vapor
barrier under it and run it up the walls past the edges of the wood. Also
if I remember correctly there are two types of treated lumber. Only one of
them is meant to be placed directly on the ground or buried such as for
Home Depot sells the Shark Bights. I have not had a problem with them yet. I
just replaced the shower mixer and faucet Saturday. The closest shut off was
under the house, and the shower was on the 2nd floor.
As I was rushed for time, I didn't want to solder 2 new shut offs in a very
hi list I heard that 1 800 carpet does wood floors.

would like opinions.
thanks so much.

Baked lumber is not to be confused with dried lumber. Both do get dried,
but the sugar content remains in the dried lumber.
Pressure treated lumber is ok for 20 years where baked lumber will never
warp and is good for 30 to 40 years plus.

Baked lumber is what is replacing pressure treated and other. It is baked in
large ovens and it destroys the sugar in the lumber and sap. Nothing will eat
it because there is nothing in it for them, and it will not rot. It can
however absorb tons of water and dry out time after time without
I do not think kiln dried lumber is resistant to moisture or rot. thats why
they started making treated lumber cc a , c b a and the like.

It's the wood of choice here in the islands, and
we definitely give it the moisture test.
