    Shower Leak, pipe questions and future planning

    If you are thinking of replacing the Moentrol valves, be sure to orientate your hot and cold piping on each valve as many new pressure balancing valves don't give you the option of "rotating" the stem to correct the current piping setup.

    Since everyone has abandoned your thread I will give you my 2 cents: 1. You can't lay a tee on its back as shown in view A. 2. Your 3" clean out in views C&D is a: not needed b:undersized if your snaking a 4" line 3. Good luck locating that 2X1-1/4 TEE in View A 4. And as long...

    shower drain too close to the wall

    From the photo it appears that "rough in" was for a left draining tub/shower unit. At the time of "rough in" groundwork, was the plumber aware of your desire for a shower only unit? Without that information, it is quite difficult to know what the end users desires will be. With a little effort...

    Proper way to drain/vent dual vanities?

    You should consider using a double fixture tee...not a cross. Less fittings needed and only have to penetrate sill plate once. You will be fine connecting to existing venting as long as you are 6"above flood rim of highest served fixture.

    Drilled a couple holes in vent pipe - remove and replace or caulk

    Customer supplied fixtures Does your vessel sink have an overflow built into the sink? Many do not and require a different type of drain which, had you done your homework, you could have supplied the plumber with the correct stuff when you ordered your equipment online and saved some coin. Now...

    Rigid Copper for A/C LineSet

    The copper you would have to use is called ACR. Doubtful it can be had from any big box store. Also would want to use refrigeration fittings and joints need to be silver soldiered.
