Hi,
Ann is actually on the list but gave up on my description and asked
me to compose this ditty for your evaluation of our water troubles. We
created a folder in the picture section called "water_woes" in hopes
of a hot shower someday :-). So far your advice and theories have been
very helpful.
I think the big squarish thing in the back of waterfriggin.jpg is the
pressure regulator. What the heck is the little fellow in front of
the regulator and behind the two drain spigots? What does he do?
After repairing the two splits in the main hot and cold water lines. I
managed to get a trickle of water all the way to the kitchen sink. WooWee!
And I've got no more water dripping from under the trailer at the back. I
found the tubing pictured in tubetag.jpg loose in near the the spigots. Does
the short tubing go atop the unidentified short fellow and, if so, does
the other end connect to anything and where might that connection be?
If I take the bolt off of the pressure regulator on the camera's
side, I get a flow but not a spray of water. The bolt on the other side can
be turned with great difficultly (hard to turn and difficult to reach
with another pipe back there blocking the wrench and no luck with a
socket).
Turning that back bolt does nothing to the trickle at the sink. I
did manage to get a portion of the tag off the back and it's pictured in
tubetag.jpg.
thanks again,
Ann's plumber :-)
