Q: Is plumbing different for pedestal sinks?

• <div><p>Since pedestal sinks are narrow and don&rsquo;t have a cupboard to conceal pipes, many homeowners change their plumbing to make it less visible. It&rsquo;s a big reason why installing a pedestal sink is more labor-intensive than other types. </p></div>

Q: Can pipes freeze in one night?

• <div><p>Pipes can freeze in one night, depending on the temperature and location of your pipes. If the temperature is below 20 degrees, your pipes could freeze in under six hours. Well-insulated pipes might take longer to freeze, but you should follow local guidelines for preventing frozen pipes. How quickly your pipes can freeze can also depend on where you live and the type of pipes. </p></div>

Q: Can you pour soda down the drain if you have a septic tank?

• <div><p>Soda, coffee, and other soft drinks are highly acidic. This affects the pH in septic tanks, causing them to require more frequent pumping. However, a vast majority of people don't need to worry about septic system disruption. Pouring out the occasional flat soda doesn&rsquo;t affect septic systems to the same degree as the high-volume dumping from restaurants and convenience stores.</p></div>

Q: Is pipe measured by ID or OD?

• <div><p>In North America, pipe measurements are listed as the nominal pipe size (NPS). This measurement refers to the outside diameter. As an example, a 1/2-inch copper pipe has an outside diameter of 5/8 of an inch. If a hardware store lists a pipe as having a 2 NPS, it means that all the pipes with this measurement have a 2 ⅜-inch outside diameter, regardless of wall thickness and inside diameter.</p></div>

The guy (I think his name was Mike...but not sure, so much time has passed) was very pleasant and careful. Installing the ice-maker valve was tricky and took some time, but he did a good job. We are very happy with all three of his installations and with the total experience.
