Thanks. Apparently there are different accepted plumbing approaches to this problem based on what the plumber is comfortable with .I would agree the best way is to use a special tool rather than banging on the pipe and causing possable further damage. I have seen no leaks. Heck, I have no...

Folllow up Thank you all for the prompt info. I learned something and fell better. I just wanted to be sure that all that hitting of the pipe did not damaage any of the other soldered fittings in the valve since it knocked that piece of wood out. I guess if it did I would see water some where...

I have just installed two new Toto Toilets model Drake CST744S elongated .I had read a great deal about these units. My old low flush I had to constantly plunge. I used the toilet for the First time and it clogged just like my old unit. What a disappointment! My plumber came out and we used...
