RE: dryer vent
Thanks for the help everyone. I will only need to use one ell, the dryer is vented straight threw the floor now and I will just 90 it and only about 7 feet to the skirt. I have some foil tape and will look for smooth wall pipe. Have a good weekend, Scott

RE: dryer vent
Thanks guys. I can vent it threw the skirting pretty easy and will do that as soon as the ground dries a little. Is there any reason to worry about moisture forming in the vent pipe under the trailer in the cold winters? I would think that the warm air inside the pipe and the cold outside air under ...

dryer vent
My dryer is on an inside wall and vents threw the floor. I haven't crawled under the trailer yet to see exactly where it comes out but I believe it just vents under the trailer. There is no vent of anykind for the dryer in the skirting or siding. Once it gets a little warmer out I will crawl under a...

RE: Dryer vent
Thanks for all the replies everyone. Audie, I have a ridgid metal bipe sticking out of my floor that the flex vent connects to so running the flex threw the floor won't work for me. I think I got it, connected the flex to the pipe in the floor with clamp and then slide the dryer in(with the washer p...

Dryer vent
This may be an easy one but I'm having some difficulty hooking up my dryer and there must be an easy way to do this! I have a washing nuk, dryer on the left and washer on the right, walls on each side of the washer and dryer. I noticed the dryer vent had come off and pulled the dryer out to fix it. ...

RE: vinyl floor lifting
Thanks Jim, I thought that there would be a correct glue to use for vinyl. I have seen how duct tape fails for use on/around heat ducts. If I was to use tape it would be the foil tape made for heat vents but I will go get some vinyl glue and do it right.

RE: vinyl floor lifting
Guess I'll try the silicone and hope that works. Just thought maybe they made a glue made for putting vinyl on the subfloor.

In my searching i read about some vinyl floors lifting up and how they only edge glue the vinyl. One time i turned the heat on the vinyl floor looke...

Re: RE: toilet flushing issues
It’s simpler and more accurate to diagnose using more relevant elaborate facts and following proper diagnostic procedure; instead of trying to bumble and speculate vaguely as we have.[/quote] As i mentioned in my last post when i went to do some more of your tests to give a more accurate description...

RE: toilet flushing issues
Schemefighter, the hard toilet paper like substance i am talking about isn't between the tank and bowl but where the water exits the bowl. The p-trap of the toilet that is built in to the toilet, where the waste gets washed into. Where the little bit of water sits in the bowl after you flush the toi...

RE: toilet flushing issues
Guess i will probably just get a new toilet and be done with it, hopefully! I have read about people that have had things stuck in the toilet before and not been able to get them out. She said the plumber that was here when the pipes froze took the toilet off so i would think he would have seen it c...

RE: toilet flushing issues
It flushes OK with just water. Not alot of force like a normal house toilet but i thought maybe it was just a cheap toilet in a mobile home? It's cold outside with about 2 ft. of snow so getting to the shut of would not be fun. Guess i should have installed a shut off by the water heater inside(the ...

toilet flushing issues
My girlfriend has a single wide built in 2000 and the toilet in the master bathroom has some problems flushing. Two years ago the sewer froze and backed up threw the toilet and since then it has problems flushing. If you use a little bit of toilet paper you have to use a plunger to get it to go down...

From the little bit of mobile home knowledge i have read and you saying white supply lines it sounds like pex which is what i had. you will need 2 pex valves that have the pex barbed fitting on one side and threads ...
