TOOLS YOU WILL NEED
. Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers
. Pencil and ruler
. Two pipe wrenches (one for backup)
. Open-end or adjustable wrench
. Nut drivers or wrenches: 3/16?? and 1/4??


Why do you need a backup pipe wrench? Is one going to break? Fall in
the hole?

Typically you use a second backup wrench with the jaws pointing opposite
so torque isn't transmitted into a more fragile item such as a valve.
