Q: Can you use PVC to run water lines?

• <div><p>PVC is best for drain or waste lines, but it isn&rsquo;t a great choice for water supply lines, which tend to be highly pressurized. PVC is also not suitable for hot water lines. Instead, you&rsquo;ll commonly see PVC for a toilet drain line or for plumbing vents to prevent airlocks, which can prevent water from flowing out of faucets.</p></div>

Q: When should you not use plumber's tape?

• <div><p>While plumber&rsquo;s tape is a great solution for many plumbing problems, there are some times when it&rsquo;s not the right product for the job at hand. </p><p>You shouldn&rsquo;t use plumber&rsquo;s tape on pipe connections in any of the following scenarios:</p><ul><li><p>When connecting PVC pipes</p></li><li><p>If the pipe has wide threads, as water can still leak through the space between the threads</p></li><li><p>If the pipe has very tight threads, as the tape would prevent a proper connection</p></li><li><p>If the pipe threads are damaged, which would prevent the tape from providing a watertight seal</p></li></ul><p>If your predicament is similar to any of these, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-do-plumbers-need-be-licensed.htm">licensed plumber</a> can help you solve the problem.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to fix a burst pipe?

• <div><p>The time it takes to fix a burst pipe depends on the location and severity of the problem. A minor burst can be cleared up in a day. But if more than one pipe burst or cracked, or the source of the burst and leak is more complex, it can take a week or longer for a licensed local plumber to fix it.</p></div>

Q: Can a ring clog a sink?

• <div><p>If you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dropped-jewelry-down-sink.htm">drop jewelry down your sink</a>, it can cause a clog, especially if it accumulates other debris on its way down. However, that is the least of your worries if you drop your favorite jewelry down your drain. If your gold band goes tumbling down the sink drain, don&rsquo;t panic&mdash;refrain from running more water down the sink, and follow the steps above. </p></div>

Q: What's the difference between a standard spigot and a frost-free hose bib?

• <div><p>The key difference between a standard spigot and a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/freeze-proof-faucets.htm">frost-free hose bib</a> lies in their design and functionality. A standard spigot is a basic outdoor faucet, while a frost-free hose bib is designed to prevent freezing and bursting during winter months. The frost-free hose bib has a longer stem that extends into the heated interior of the house, protecting it from freezing temperatures. This design allows you to leave the water supply on year-round without the risk of pipe damage in cold weather, making it a valuable choice for regions with harsh winters.</p></div>

Drain Pipe Installation questions, answered by experts

PVC is best for drain or waste lines, but it isn’t a great choice for water supply lines, which tend to be highly pressurized. PVC is also not suitable for hot water lines. Instead, you’ll commonly see PVC for a toilet drain line or for plumbing vents to prevent airlocks, which can prevent water from flowing out of faucets.

While plumber’s tape is a great solution for many plumbing problems, there are some times when it’s not the right product for the job at hand.

You shouldn’t use plumber’s tape on pipe connections in any of the following scenarios:

When connecting PVC pipes
If the pipe has wide threads, as water can still leak through the space between the threads
If the pipe has very tight threads, as the tape would prevent a proper connection
If the pipe threads are damaged, which would prevent the tape from providing a watertight seal

If your predicament is similar to any of these, a licensed plumber can help you solve the problem.

The time it takes to fix a burst pipe depends on the location and severity of the problem. A minor burst can be cleared up in a day. But if more than one pipe burst or cracked, or the source of the burst and leak is more complex, it can take a week or longer for a licensed local plumber to fix it.

However, that is the least of your worries if you drop your favorite jewelry down your drain. If your gold band goes tumbling down the sink drain, don’t panic—refrain from running more water down the sink, and follow the steps above.
