Ok, thay makes sense, thank you!

Hi all, I am trying to make a bathroom/laundry group in a somewhat challenging garage conversion. I'm hoping that someone can advise me on where the vents should be placed on this system. Normally I'd wet vent it using the toilet, but the placement of this toilet and the limited space I have to...

I've also found on these that sand cloth helps as opposed to a wire brush. I make sure to hit the shoulder of the fitting pretty good with the sand cloth and it helps it take. Also Turn the torch down a bit and take an extra minute to let it heat up evenly, when you get after it with the torch...

Maybe try buying a small flush bag (expanding drain bladder) and putting it in the flush valve opening, it might push the tissue through. It might also make a huge mess. Use this in conjunction with the shop vac method a few times and you might be ok.

Thanks, that's what i was leaning towards but was unsure with the soft copper. Also thank you so much for creating this site/forum it is the only online resource i trust!

Hi folks! I'm a drain cleaner by trade. I know quite a bit about plumbing through association and remodeling a few houses. I just bought this house and the main shutoff is leaking. I believe its soft copper and a flare fitting. I know you can just repack these, but I had to sign off on the...
