those that kasher their teeth for Pesach how do they clean under the dishwasher, can it be pulled out or its a fixed product?

I'm sure it can be pulled out, it was pushed in after the connections were made.
But I recommend just removing the kick plate in front and cleaning under it that way.  It's installed under the counter, so nothing can fall behind it.

Buying those three pieces separate will probably be more than just buying another one.

I’m considering buying these quick connectors to make it easy to change stove before and after Pessach. Are they safe to use in NYC for natural gas? It’s rated for 1/2 PSIG, which I believe meets NYC ratings, but I never saw this being used so I’m wondering if it’s considered safe as it will obviously be used all year.

IANAP, but suggestion:
We use a Y valve to shut the pesach valve off all year when disconnected. If you do something like that, you're relying on this only for the week

That’s not a bad idea but will only eliminate half the work each year, if I’m going to do this would love to make it a real breeze.

Make sure you check code in your area. Personally, I only use them outdoor (NG grill).

What do you mean to change stove? Are you actually using a different stove?

Yes,
There are many that just swap out their whole oven and stove for Pesach

I don't know about the shidduch you made between teeth and dishwashers, but not being able to pull out the dishwasher is actually a plus, there is no חיוב בדיקה then. Even if you can pull it out, like a fridge or stove, if you didn't pull that out in the 30 days before pesach then there is no חיוב בדיקה either.

As I originally noted it appears to be conforming to code, but I haven’t seen anyone using this, and the local plumbing supply stores don’t sell them that’s why I’m nervous.
I change the entire stovetop for Pessach.

I have a rental property where I'm dividing the water service so each unit pays their own water bill. There are 3 3/4" water service lines coming into the basement. Technically, according to the appliance sizing charts I should be running 1" from the main until the hot water heater tee and from that point onward 3/4". My question is, considering the incoming water supply is 3/4", is there any purpose in upsizing to 1" for the short run from water cutoff until the hot water tee?

I have this Fireclay sink,


Bought this regular sink drain,


But it didn’t fit since the thickness of the sink floor is thicker then the regular stainless sink, so can’t tighten the drain to the sink.
Can’t seem to find what drain I need to put for a sink like that, anyone had that problem? Anyone knows what drain is needed for this?
I’m in shape, round is a shape…

When a toilet overflows, most of the time some water spills out, then stops. Sometimes, though, I've seen it continue to flow, so that it can flood an entire room, drip down to lower floors, etc.

If the issue was the overflow valve or the flapper, then the toilet would be running constantly, even when it's not overflowing, and  that doesn't seem to be the case.

Any suggestions?

I can't figure out how to remove this rigid water supply line to a toilet. I don't want to break anything. It doesn't seem to come out on either end. Should I use more force and yank on either end?

Which end are you trying to remove?
Tried a wrench?

The one on the toilet.
My brother took it out. I didn't pull it hard enough...

Listen it's the first time I'm doing this :)
