Can you install a toilet on an existing shower drain?
You need at least a 3 in. pipe -- shower is 2 in. pipe
How too fix condensation on plumbing pipe?
Wrap it with insulation
Where do you install a pressure equalizing valve?
Need more info - what is it for? What is the size of the pipe and the pressure differences you are trying to get?
What is common material used for insulating steam pipe line?
to make it insulated and rust free Gi spray is used. Fiberglass is easy to install and can be purchased in insulation sleeves. The insulation is comprised of inorganic fibers, which are bonded with special resin. An aluminum-foil facing or vapor retarder is attached. The insulation is usually available in 3-foot sections.
What insulation should you use for a cold water pipe?
poly venal chloride
How does one install foam pipe insulation?
The installation of pipe insulation is fairly easy. Pipes that are not covered seem to sweat, or they can freeze in the winter. Find pipe insulation the size in diameter of the pipe. Slit a cut down one side and place over the pipe.
What should you do if some goats chewed off the insulation on the pipe and it is getting ice on it and you are getting condensation on the pipes inside?
Go to Lowe's (or HD) and purchase more tubing insulation and install it. It is not difficult.

What is anti sweat insulation?
Anti sweat insulation means to prevent condensation of atmospheric water vapour on the surface of pipe is called anti sweat insulation.

What type of clip do you use when pipe is to be insulated?
That all depends on what kind of pipe, the size of the pipe, the size of the insulation and the purpose of the insulation. If insulation is important: You will want to use a clip that won't crush the insulation. (On an air conditioning line, for instance, because it will sweat and could cause water damage. Or a pipe that could freeze) FYI: Insulation should not be crushed and don't leave big spaces between pieces. If this clip will be holding any amount of weight: Than I suggest attaching the clip to the pipe and insulating around the clip. If it is something like a heating pipe in the basement than insulation is more of a luxury than necessity It shouldn't really matter too much. But the better you insulate the more efficient your heating system will be. Good luck!

How does water pipe insulation work?
pipe insulation have very low value of thermal conductivity. this is because of the air pockets or pores present in insulation or bad heat conducting elements such as glass...Most decent pipe insulation works by wrapping the pipe inside a mass of tiny air bubbles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Air is the insulation in almost all the available insulation's. It is important that the bubbles are very tiny as bubbles over 16mm will start a convection current that will transfer the heat across the cell. The problem with insulation is, it only slows the transfer of heat. Given time all the heat in a pipe will transfer through the insulation and the pipe will freeze. It is important that all exposed pipes and any pipes that are below freezing for some time are fitted with electrical ribbon heating to maintain their temperature above freezing.
How long will it take a pipe to freeze if the heat to the building is turned off at a temp of 9 degrees?
depends on the inside diameter of the piep, the wall thickness of the pipe, hte geometry of the pipe, the insulation surrounding each section of the pipe, etc. you would need a host more information to answer this question.
Is there a high demand for workers on insulation jobs?
Typically, companies handle their own insulation. There are many types of insulation, pipe, wall, and attic insulation are just a few. Construction companies, and plumbers usually do their own installation of insulation.
