if the valves have a place for a wrench to fit, usually they were threaded in. some plumbers still solder threaded valves & you can easily see the solder around the threads. If the outlet box is plastic, chances are they are threaded in.

Why does stain glass feel like plastic?

With many Tiffany lamp shades, when you tap on them using your knuckle or finger tip, it does not feel like glass. That is more evident when the shade is made of smaller glass panels / pieces. When small panels of stained glass are soldered together, the vibration that it gives off when we tap on them feels more like plastic than glass; the vibration is dampened by soldering small panels of glasses together. To verify that the shade is indeed made of glass, you can use a fork to tap on the Tiffany shade lightly. You can feel the glass tone better. If you accidentally drop the shade, it WILL break. Tiffany stained glass is thicker. When you tap on them, you are actually feeling the stain coating. They are rolled out from a big sheet of glass initially, stained into different color and then cut into little pieces before being soldered together. Unlike plastic, they have variation and rippling surface.


1993 VW Cabrio Classic w starting problem Cranks and wants to start but nothing Fuel pump relay maybe which is where?

Make sure your cat converter isn't plug which is part of the exhaust system. If it's plugged the engine builds up pressure and won't run. In reference to the above answer, No. This would only occur if you were driving for a distance, and a long one at that. You are correct in thinking it is the fuel pump relay, which is poorly designed, overheats on the soldered contacts, and fails. The relay is located in the fuse box, just under the dash on the left side. It will be fuse relay # 19.


How do you fix a radiator crack?

If its not too big and depends were its at you can use JB weld. its cheap and easy. USUALLY,MOST CARS UNFORTUNATELY HAVE PLASTIC ENDS ON EACH SIDE OF RADIATOR ,OVER TIME THEY DECAY,A RADIATOR IS UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE,AND THE TWO DON'T MIX,THIS COULD BE THE CASE.REPLACING THE RADIATOR IS THE ANSWER ,PATCHING IT ONLY BUYS YOU A LITTLE TIME .YOU MAYBE BROKE DOWN AGAIN SOONER THAN YOU THINK,LEAVING YOU STRANDED.NOT A GOOD IDEA TO PATCH IT.BUY A NEW ONE THAT'S CHEAPER THAN RUNNING IT HOT POSSIBLY CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT CRACKING A HEAD OR BLOWING A HEAD GASKET.THESE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIRS 10 TIMES WHAT A RADIATOR WOULD COST YOU.

How does a reballing of a BGA work?

Reballing a ball grid array circuitboard is a delicate operation. Typically, a hot air gun is used to melt the existing solder and the individual components are carefully removed. Any damaged or defective components are repaired or replaced and the old solder is cleaned off. For a ball grid array, new solder balls are then placed into the proper configuration for the board, and the components carefully soldered into place.
