    Gerber Tank to Bowl gasket

    I have toilet that leaks. :D After replacing virtually everything not made of china/porcelain, I discovered that the bowl-to-tank gasket(BTG) I installed might be a bit to short :confused: The BTG installed was 1 1/8", apparently Gerber's need a different product.... .....ok.....so....how...

    Expansion tank and boiler

    My Mother-in-law (MIL) calls to tell me she has no heat. I go over to her place, and while checking things out my wife calls and tells me that the MIL has a "worry-free" contract with the gas co. I say "Good, call them - I'm coming home". My wife meets the gas co. man today...he quickly...

    "New" Work, rough-in ~ pressure-balancing valve,

    I am installing a pressure-balancing valve in my bath remodel ("new"). I'm a bit confused by the terms/definitions used in the install guide...a little clarification, please? The valve is being installed on a wall that will have 1/2" rock and a 3-piece shower surround. The instructions say...

    Sump pits

    I just dug a sump pit and put in a liner. Talking with a "guy at work", he mentions that in addition to stones around the liner - I should put sand. I thought the sand would work it's way into the pit and eventually the pump. He said the sand will prevent a mineral build-up around the stones...

    Heater ?'s

    It just dawned on me.....in my 2nd floor rehab project, the bath has NO HEAT. The house has forced air, but at this point, we are in no position to run any ductwork. While I am an electrician, you plumbers have probably seen more along the lines of an electric heater for the bathroom than...

    Replace 1950's faucet

    Here is a 1950's American Standard bathroom sink, the faucet (on the hot side, of course :mad: ) leaks - and the angle stop doesn't close all the way. The faucets are 6" OC. I need a temporary fix - this bath is the only one active as I am STILL working on the other bath...

    Replace HW Tank....

    I come home today to find the HWH has decided to quit - but not before spewing it's contents all over the place. Obviously, I will need to replace this HWH...and at this hour (5:30PM) all the plumbing supply houses are closed. I did a quick search at the big box stores for a replacement and...

    Toilet supply line rough in dimension

    Hi everyone, I'm back to doing the bathroom rehab again and I have 1 question that may have no "exact" answer...but you guys do it more than me so you will have a "general" answer: Running new supply line to new toilet location...any recommendations on the best location for the stub-out...

    Am I ready for glue?

    Here's the final product, Take #1: The first thing to hit the editing room floor will probably be that 2x2x2 tee (off the 4x4x2 tee) heading to the pedistal sink vent. From looking at many DWV drawings, I am off the opinion that that 2" heading down will not have the volume for the 1st flr...

    Closet Flange

    A question of fittings...

    What is the differnce between these fittings (when used for waste lines)? 3 Inch DOUBLE, FIXTURE FITTING, HUB 4 Inch TEE, DOUBLE, SANITARY, HUB The reason I ask, is that I cannot locate a 4" double fixture fitting at the LASCO site ~ I have to question if the part is...

    Is stack legal?

    I have "built" a stack for approval or "red sticker" from you good people. Do you think this stack is "legal". The "tee" that is labeled "Waste line to: toilet(this floor) will actually be turned to head in a more direct route to the closet bend - the most amount of bend will...

    A tragic flaw?

    I think my plan is tragically flawed... I cannot figure out how to get the venting for the first floor bath tied back into the stack on the second floor (bath). I think this may have to do with the fact that the walls do NOT line up between 1st and 2nd floors...and the 1st flr bath is...

    Cutting cast...

    Snap cutter Ok, so far Mr. Mirphy and his laws have struck a few times...the latest fiasco involves cutting that 4" cast riser. The first few cuts were easy (after taking the snap cutter back to the rental place becasue it was NFG). Now I have a 4" riser in a 6x wall cavity. The chain will not...

    Can I use this...

    Can I use a double wye on venting? Something similar to this, and with the 3 openings pointing down: All the hubs would be 2". What angle fitting would return those "wings" to vertical? 45's? (This is part of the plan: https://terrylove.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1749 ; last photo, the red...
