I just replaced my electric water heater, and when I was soldering the new copper flex pipe connectors that connect it to the water inlets/outlets, I noticed a warning label on them. They essentially said that these connectors have been found to cause cancer in California??? WTF!? Could someone please tell me why if this is true, or even if it is only minutely, or a teenie tiny percent of a fraction true, why the hell are we installing these on our drinking water piping??!!! I mean if there is ANY chance this stuff could be any bit harmful to my family‘s health, why do they sell/manufacture/market it?I bought it from Home Depot.
Now why would you want to cover up a natural wood floor? You can lay the tiles on top of it. you would have to strip the floor first of any wax build up. use an adhesive made for tiles then grout in the gaps. Doors will need to be shaved on the bottom so you will have a quarter inch clearance. Any Lowe's, 84, or home Depot will have helpful instructions along with the materials needed.
Yes it is possible if your vinyl is in good condition with no loose areas. This method is generally not recommended though. You should remove your vinyl and use and good embossing floor leveler before preceding with installation as normal. You can give it try over the vinyl but I believe you will be happier in the long run with a job you know was done right.
It is put there by law to protect the manufacturer. Just like if u go to a establishment, there is a sign posted by the door that states this establishment is known to have agents found to cause cancer . All it is the place might have a smoking patio to accomadate the customers that smoke. So it's legal at some places to provide a smoking area for customers.
Well, if you don't live in California, don't worry about it--doesn't it say that it's been found to cause cancer in California but doesn't mention other states? Just kidding! But really, I've found these California warning labels on all kinds of things. It just means California is being ultra cautious, or paranoid, depending on your view. The new connectors you're installing are no more cancer-causing than the old ones you're replacing. Probably less so, if anything, if the old ones had been there for a while. Just about everyone in North America has this in their home, so you've got lots of company.
Copper pipe is usually soldered somewhere. Solder contains a minuscule amount of lead. California is paranoid about contaminates and lead in HUGE doses does cause cancer and birth defects as well as learning disabilities.
