    How do I Install Toilet Flange to Stubbed Pipe in Concrete Slab

    I need to install a toilet in my new garage. The finished floor is the slab itself. I have cut off the 4" PVC stubbed pipe basically at the slab surface and when I lay a level across the top of the pipe/slab I see that I don't have a perfectly level surface across the slab and pipe.

    What is the Shallowest (front to back) Elongated Regular Height Toilet?

    What is the shallowest (front to back) elongated regular-height toilet? Hoping to stay under 25 inches. Hopefully under $250. I'm building a new garage to house my boat and want a SMALL bathroom. After all, the idea of building a garage is not to fill it with a great big bathroom. Thanks in advance.

    How To...Plumb Expansion Tank to Mobile Home Water Heater with PEX

    Thanks. I guess I should also have asked if I need to build a shelf to hold expansion tank since I'm using PEX. Is the idea to simply add the tank and secure it such that it won't kink the pipe?

    Which Mortar for Bed for One-Piece Maax Fiberglass Shower?

    I've never set a shower stall into any kind of bed before. I've just read and researched till I'm kind of worn out. I really don't have anything against any bed material.

    Which Mortar for Bed for One-Piece Maax Fiberglass Shower?

    I really do appreciate all of the replies to the questions I have regarding my task at hand! I guess I should have been more clear on step 2., as I know it won't be a solid pour of bedding material. I just wanted to get an idea of how big/many clumps of bedding material so as not to end up with...

    Buying a Toto Drake CST744SL; Best Replacement Fill Valve?

    Hello. I'll be purchasing a Toto Drake and in my research learned that the fill valve is not the best that it could be. Should I put in a Korky 528MP or a Fluidmaster 400A when the toilet is initially installed? Thanks in advance.
