    Baseboard heater/wiring question

    Connect the black wire with the solid black, connect white wire with the greyish black and ground wire to the phillipps screw at the very top of the baseboard in your first photo. It won't really matter which wire is which because the baseboard has 2 hot (power) wires(240v)

    toilet wet vent in Canada

    The qouted clause refers to 2 wet venting fixtures venting 1 fixture, in this case the toilet. The tub needs to be seperately vented and the lav becomes the wet venting fixture for the toilet.(as the latter part of the qoute states), that is the way I am interpreting it.

    toilet wet vent in Canada

    The only thing that I find questionable is the section in the green circle. The 2 fixtures are not both draining in the same vertical continuous waste and vent. That's the way I interpret the code anyway

    Moen Single Handle shower- no cold water???

    Are you sure it is a "positemp?" Correct me if I'm wrong, The only valve that I know that has the 2 "screws" on iether side (shut off valves/stops), is the moentrol. If it is a moentrol, you will need a balancing spool

    floor drain, Canada

    The pipe that you see going to the "weeping tile" is probably a downspout drain. In the old days, they used to connect the eaves trough drains to the floor drain in the basement. If in fact you are correct that it connects to the weeping tile, i would not disconnect it unless you have another...

    floor drain, Canada

    The old clay may be coming from an old downspout drain. It depends on where it is coming from and where it ends up going. The wet vent should be closest to the toliet. The shower/bath drains should be further than the toilet.

    Leaking compression connector PEX hose under sink

    Any "weight thing" that I have ever installed usually came where you could open it or split it in half and put it on after the hose is connected.Either clipped together or 2 scews to fasten the 2 components. The plastic nuts are never a good idea for compression fittings. If you over...

    Laundry drain pipe help for s-trap location. Canada

    Its not really a good idea, as well as against code, to reduce the 2" to 1 1/2" down stream of the P-trap, especially on the horizontal run. It will be your primary spot for any future blockages. It will be only a temporary fix. Its only a question of time. Good luck, I hope it works out...

    Replace the hot water washer on the tap and the trickle will stop. While your at it , replace the cold water washer too. 95% of Canadians rarely use mechanical trap primers because they are prone to fail.This particular set up is attached to the laundry tub faucet

    It is allowable to go through a wall, but you need to exit at 45 degrees and extend to above the roof and any change of vertical direction must be 45 degrees. There should be no horizontal runs where there is a possibility of water accumulation.Minimum 3" diameter pipe

    Proper fitting question

    Just make sure that the pipe you run does not exceed 20Ft from the p-trap to the main stack, otherwise you will have to install cleanouts at 20ft intervals

    Are you planning on making the waste water dizzy before it goes to the main stack?? Why would you want to add extra changes in direction for your waste water? Better chances for blockages to happen You could do what you want, its your house, but my suggestion will pass any Ontario...

    Proper fitting question

    What you have to do is raise the vent as high as you can above the horizontal plane of the drain and go to the nearest wall possible and come up at your 6" above your fixture. Code in Ontario prefers that you raise the vent immediatly, where ever possible

    Replacing old cast iron elbow in wall. How do I fix this?

    You can try heating up the fitting only and then try turning it, or you can try smaking the fitting at the hub with a 2 hammers. I hammer stays stationary behind the fitting and the other hammer to hit it from the opposite side. It looks like space may be an issue
