Bench notes
One rule per note. A few panels, a short note in his own words, and the sources underneath. Start anywhere.
Bench note No. 1
Never Force a Stuck Cartridge
It is stuck for a reason. Loosen it, or let a puller do the pulling.
Bench note No. 2
Two Wrenches, Always
One holds, one turns. Then the pipe behind the fitting never feels it.
Bench note No. 3
Grease the O-Rings
Silicone grease, a small dab. Nothing with petroleum in it, ever.
Bench note No. 4
Read the Old Part Before You Throw It Out
A worn stem tells you what leaked and what to buy.
Bench note No. 5
Find Every Shutoff in Your House Before You Need One
The main, then every small one. Tag it, test it, show the house.
