Bathroom Fixtures Installed

Bob meets Dave Kohler from Kohler, Wisconsin who is installing a Kohler lavatory on a Yonkers Blitz Build that is part of a Habitat for Humanity Project. The most distinguishing factor for the Brookline Lavatory is the faucet which is brand new this year from Kohler. It is called the Fairfax Faucet. While design and style didn't want to be sacrificed this unique faucet list price is only $134.00! It also has a great safety feature, a high temperature limit stop so someone won't get scalded. Also being displayed is a state of the art Kohler toilet. The features of this toilet include: a large 2" glazed trapway, a large water area and siphonic jet action. Not to mention this unit complies with the National Energy Act of 1992 that requires all manufacturers to make only 1.6 gallon per flush (gpf) toilets.

Low-Flow Showerheads and Faucets
Low-Flow Showerheads and Faucets

Here's another great tip from BobVila.com. Showers account for more than one-fifth of the water Americans use every day. We can conserve more of this precious resource with a low-flow showerhead. If you re not convinced you need to cut your water flow, put a 2-quart pan under your showerhead and turn it on. If it takes less than 12 seconds to fill the pan, you could conserve. Low-flow showerheads limit flow to 2 and a half gallons per minute or less and cost between $8 and $50. Contrary to popular belief, they do not reduce the water pressure of your shower. Some mix the water with air, others pulse and some are elevated to provide a rain shower effect. For between $70 and $250, you can buy one that will even filter chlorine and other chemicals from your water for a truly clean shower that won t dry out your skin. Take a look at the end of your faucet: Most are threaded to receive an aerator. If your existing aerator has a number greater than 2.75 GPM written on it or there isn t one at all, it s an easy upgrade to install. Remove the old one by turning it to the left. If it s stuck, gently use vice grips or tongue-and-groove pliers. Add a piece of Teflon tape over the faucet threads before screwing on the new one to form a tight seal. Faucet aerators only cost $5 to $10 and will pay for themselves in water savings in only a few months. Installing faucet aerators and low-flow showerheads in your home is one of the best ways to reduce your environmental footprint, and it can save you 50 percent of your water and hot water costs to boot.

Bob and Dan Gerry form Tranquility Plumbing agree that budgeting for high-quality fittings and fixtures is important. The Moen diverter and sprayer that Gerry is installing is a great unit that is easily repaired by the homeowner. Gerry says that it is important to consider availability of parts when selecting fixtures, because every faucet will need repairs sometime. Gerry runs the supply line then adds a weight that will pull it though as soon as the sink is installed. He also fits the shut-off valves and tightens them in place so that water can be shut off at the site without needing to turn off service to the entire house.
