Even if you're not installing a new vanity, you'll need to move the old vanity out of the way so that you can work without any issues.\r\rYou may also need to run some new plumbing lines from the floor waste and vent above it. This is not always as easy as it sounds since they may be old and corroded and they may also not be easily accessible or they might not even exist anymore. You will want to hire a licensed plumber with experience in this area for the best results. They will start by removing the old tailpiece, clean up any corrosion and debris.\r\rThey will then determine where to cut into the floor or the wall back panel to route new P-traps for both the bathroom vanity sink as well as the lavatory fixture. Since there are many variables involved when determining whether to use the wall or the floor, it's best to have a plumber who specialises in this area take care of it for you. This is because he can use the right tools to minimise any damage to your wall, flooring, and other fixtures. Additionally, he knows exactly what type of piping to use based on your local plumbing code and makes sure that everything works properly once the vanity is in. The final step is filling out any necessary paperwork for permits before turning everything back over to you.\r\rThe job basically involves connecting all the bathroom fixtures together so waste can flow down into an existing sewer line. It also requires hooking up hot and cold water lines, venting for each fixture, and setting up traps.\r\rIf you are looking to install your own bathroom vanity plumbing using Pex tubing, it's important to note that most plumbers will not use Pex when they install bathroom sink drainage because it is more expensive than most other types of piping. However, if you already have the setup in place, then they will probably just use what is there since it would be wasteful to put in new copper tubing at this point for such a small job. The bottom line here is that usually, only large projects involving extensive re-piping will cause them to switch out plumbing materials without having to replace everything with galvanised or copper piping along the way.\r\rIf you're uncertain about how to handle the plumbing when you install a bathroom vanity, it's always best to contact a professional for help. Many online services will help you find the best fit for your needs, allowing you to filter out professionals who do not offer help with vanity plumbing, and also allow customers to book online, making the process as easy for you as possible. The New South Wales Department of Fair Trading has some great information about hiring contractors for these kinds of renovations.\r\rRemember, working in plumbing means dealings with things like water supply lines, water pipes, wall plugs, and more. You may need to use a hammer drill to drill access holes and will also need to be prepared to deal with any unexpected plumbing emergencies that may arise. Unless you're confident you can handle the whole process yourself, getting professional help ensures you don't make errors that will cost you a ton to rectify, and that your plumbing will be working properly once all the work is complete. While a professional will cost more than doing it yourself, you don't have to worry about major accidents or damaging other parts of your bathroom like your flooring, wall, or the countertop while you work on the plumbing.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Can I install my own bathroom vanity?","text":"Absolutely.

If they are too close together, sometimes there isn't enough room for the water pressure coming out of your irrigation system to properly open up all of these valves correctly without one slamming shut on top of another.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Increase the size of the pipe","text":"If that is the case, then you can always try increasing this gap size by adding more piping behind each individual sprinkler head, but also keep in mind that if you do increase the gap size, then there will be an increased amount of rainwater flowing through at once which can sometimes cause the water pressure to increase as well.\r\rIf you are using a good amount, or more than 2-3 GPM per sprinkler, then this could also be the reason why these valves are slamming shut on one another.

This is a common problem with the swing check valve because the disk swings on a shaft. The opening of the flap slams on the walls of the pipe. The closing action of the return flow slams the shaft on the seat. \r\rThere is no shortage of check valves whose mechanism reduces or eliminates valve slam. With the guidance of your plumber, you can get a suitable valve from quality check valve manufacturers.\r\rThe spring loaded check valves have an inline spring and movable disc fitted. When the specific cracking pressure exceeds the spring force, fluid flows into the outlet pipe. When the inlet pressure drops, the spring pushes the diaphragm back to the closed position to prevent backflow. The action of the spring is fast. It shuts the inlet pipe before fluid flow reversal, which prevents the water hammer effect.\r\rAnother alternative is the silent check valves, also known as nozzle check valves. These ones have a stem disc and compression spring. They are fitted inline. The cracking pressure must be strong enough to open the compression spring. Another option is the foot valve that works in the same spring principle in addition to a strainer that serves to sift out the debris.\r\rBesides, you can also choose the piston check valve. The opening and closing of piston check valves are aided by the action of a piston and cylinder. The piston valve works best with the globe valve and the angle valve.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How does a vacuum check valve work?

The law provides various drink driving penalties you should be aware of for first and second or subsequent offence situations.\r\rFor first-time traffic offences, the fine is $ 2,200, a 9 months imprisonment, 12 months disqualification without interlock or an interlock of 6 months and the possibility of reduction to 3 months.\r\rFor a second or subsequent offence, a fine of $3,300 is imposed, a 12 months prison term, 3-year licence disqualification and a 24 months interlock condition. The interlock can be reduced to 9 months or 6 months minimum disqualification, with a 6 months prison term.\r\rAn interlock court order requires you to fit the vehicle with an interlock device and undergo an interlock program depending on the gravity of the case. Failure to adhere to an interlock order can lead to a 5 year disqualification.\r\rFor the first offence, the local court may give way to Section 10 dismissal.

If found guilty, you will get a criminal conviction. The conviction will be entered into your personal conducts records. Due to the nature of this offence, and the risk it poses at large, most court cases end with a conviction. This is more so in second or subsequent offence cases. A release without conviction is possible. Bear in mind that a lot of proof is needed. \r\rTo avoid a guilty verdict, a driver can plead for a conditional release order. Where granted, it quashes the conviction. Consequently, it stops the recording of criminal data in personal records. The driver is spared disqualification and avoids the fine too.\r\rConditional release is possible in several circumstances. First, it is a possible remedy for the first offence. Courts also extended it to one who has not been convicted of a similar matter in the past 5 years since the first offence or last charge. The court, however, may require the person in question to complete a traffic offender’s program. \r\rTo support a no conviction court plea there are other arguments that you or your lawyer, may submit. For instance, if the alcohol test was conducted at your property, the court may overrule the prosecution. Also, if the PCA test was taken 2 hours after the breath analysis window, the lawyers can argue that the PAC result is invalid.

It significantly impairs vision, lowers alertness and reduces reaction times which increases the probability of road accidents. The impairment effects increase with the amount consumed.\r\rTo enforce the law against drink driving, the police officer administers tests to estimate the quantity of alcohol in the blood. The PCA test results are an indicator of whether you are within or have exceeded the alcohol limit. This alcohol measurement practice is what’s generally referred to as the prescribed concentration of alcohol, in short, PCA. You will be charged either under novice, special, low, middle or high range, depending on your PCA reading. The severity of a penalty will follow the PCA category violation.\r\rIn general, the law outlines PCA limits based on a driver licence. If the BAC is in the mid-range or high-range, the police can institute an automatic disqualification. For novice drivers, a mid-range offence leads to an immediate licence suspension. The automatic disqualification is followed in court by a drink driving charge.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What are the ranges for drink driving?","text":"The severity of the drink driving charge will depend on the results the PAC measure returns for each individual test.

If they are placed on a roof mount most likely they will look like any other TV antenna with two metal arms. However if they are mounted indoors, such as on a wall or near a window or door, they might look more like an architectural model of the Eiffel Tower than an antenna since most building materials do not allow for proper reception.\r\rThis can be used to their advantage in some cases since unlike traditional antennas these newer ones designed for interior installation can often incorporate style factors.\r\rUnfortunately it is almost impossible to recommend one antenna suitable for all applications; the best thing to do is visit a store and compare products. The most important factors are range and location; if you live very close to the transmitters then your reception will be much better than someone who lives further out and wants especially strong signals.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How does a digital antenna work?","text":"Digital signals work a little differently from analog. With analog, the signal is transmitted directly from your antenna to your TV. So in case of any signal problems, you may experience blurring in the program (sound or image). \r\rWith digital, the signal needs to be decoded before you can see or hear a program. Digital antennas come with a built-in filter to improve image quality, as well as to reduce blur that may occur because of a blurry signal. This is done through the UHF Band (Ultra High Frequency) and VHF Band (Very High Frequency).\r\rHDTV antennas receive electromagnetic signals that convert them into video and audio. \r\rAn exterior-mounted HDTV antenna also pulls signals from more than one station, which decreases your risk of picking up a weaker signal during an outage at another station along the same line of sight. In fact, many service providers will recommend an exterior installation because it's less likely you'll lose reception during bad weather. \r\rThe downside to an exterior installation is that your signal may be affected by trees and buildings. The higher your antenna, the further its reach under most circumstances. Some antennas are better at sending signals around objects than others, although a high-quality HDTV antenna will usually outperform a standard model regardless of where it's located. In cases where you live in a rural area or other location where you cannot get a clear line of sight to the broadcast towers, an outdoor HDTV antenna should work best because it can capture very weak signals from long distances away.\r","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How much will a digital antenna cost me?","text":"When installing a digital antenna, specialised equipment may be required, such as additional internal wires and electrical switches.\r\rDepending on the complexity of the job, the installation of a digital TV antenna can cost from about $250 to over $600. \r\rVarious factors that influence the price of the antenna installation are listed below.\r\r\r\r\r\r\r","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Bullets","headingTag":"h2","heading":"","text":null,"bulletData":[{"bullet":"Location"},{"bullet":"Size and quality of the antenna\r"},{"bullet":"Time required to install equipment\r"},{"bullet":"Experience and workmanship of the technician\r"},{"bullet":"If you require a TV booster or amplifier\r"},{"bullet":"Complexity of work\r"},{"bullet":"Access to the antenna\r"}],"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null}]}}],"categories":null},"localsearchCMSArticles({\"categoryName\":\"tv-antenna-installations\",\"size\":5})":{"__typename":"ArticleConnection","results":[{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"77F252A3-8F63-884E-BDB4-BE93C04C63D5","articleTitle":"TV Antenna Cost ","urlSlug":"/guides/tv-antenna-installations/tv-antenna-cost","featureImageUrl":"https://www.localsearch.com.au/resources/articles/tv-antenna/tradie-with-tool-belt.jpg","wordCount":1098}},{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"81B95BF5-7BFE-4B45-8688-CE3D1DDA09B6","articleTitle":"TV Antenna Installation Cost","urlSlug":"/guides/tv-antenna-installations/tv-antenna-installation-cost","featureImageUrl":"https://www.localsearch.com.au/resources/articles/tv-antenna/house-without-tv-antenna.jpg","wordCount":1093}},{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"AB73652C-ED8A-E74E-99B3-6B03CCF737C8","articleTitle":"Do You Need an Antenna for Digital TV?","urlSlug":"/guides/tv-antenna-installations/do-you-need-an-antenna-for-digital-tv","featureImageUrl":"https://localsearch.com.au/resources/articles/smart-home/lady-with-remote.jpg","wordCount":634}}],"categories":null},"localsearchCMSArticle({\"articleTitle\":\"garage-door-sizes-australia\",\"categoryName\":\"garage-doors\",\"size\":1})":{"__typename":"ArticleConnection","results":[{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleTitle":"Garage door sizes Australia","articleBlurb":"Smooth functionality and pleasing design is usually a prime concern when installing or replacing a new or old garage door.","articleId":"CB0BCFB2-78CA-2E44-B7A1-6909C034D171","primaryCategoryId":"226","isQuotableCategory":true,"primaryCategoryName":"Garage Doors","featureImageUrl":"https://www.localsearch.com.au/resources/articles/garage-doors/white-garage-door-double.jpg","urlSlug":"/guides/garage-doors/garage-door-sizes-australia","sectionArray":[{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"","text":"The most common garage door sizes are:","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Bullets","headingTag":"h2","heading":"","text":null,"bulletData":[{"bullet":"Standard single garage door size: 2100mm high x 2400mm wide."},{"bullet":"Standard double garage door size: 2100mm high x 4800mm wide"}],"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"","text":"Garage doors also come in different specifics based on their design and functionality.
