    Shower Valve Recommendation

    Decided on a shower valve. Went with the Delta Innovation series. Figure these parts should get be all I need. Ordered the valves for now. At the pace this project is going, I won't need the finish pieces for a few months. T17T030-NN Innovations TempAssure® Valve Only Trim w/ Volume...

    Shower Valve Recommendation

    No it's not inside the shower pan. It's framed adjacent to the pan.

    Shower Valve Recommendation

    I guess I wasn't really clear on the size of the shower. I have a 54x36 area to work with - 36x36 pan and 18x36 bench. I would have preferred to just go with a tub/shower but I was only able to find one choice in 54" tubs. And then there's the fact that a 54" tub is pretty worthless unless you...

    Shower Valve Recommendation

    The windows are new vinyl - I installed them as part of this remodel. It's a small bathroom and I'm trying to make the most of it. I thought the windows in the shower would be a nice touch. I'm really having seconds thoughts about that decision though. I've definitely decided to go with the...

    Shower Valve Recommendation

    Thanks for the link. I've been to Johnbridge.com before but never realized how much info was there. I can see myself spending a little more time searching the forums. Not only will I have a bench, but there are two windows. I've been really concerned about getting everything sealed well. If I...

    Shower Valve Recommendation

    Working my way towards plumbing the shower and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on a valve and associated pieces. I have a 36x36 shower pan with an 18x36 bench. The whole thing will be tiled. I plan to have a fixed shower head (no body spray) for the pan and a hand held at the...

    Tankless or tank water heater

    Heed the mention on gas piping. Pipe diameter doesn't indicate pressure. A typical 6" WC meter won't do the job unless the tankless is the only appliance you have using gas. I would have had to upgrade to a 2 psi (55" WC) meter but then all the other devices on the line - dryer, stove, furnace -...

    I actually considered calling you - but didn't. He got paid his hourly rate. The dispatcher was hesitant to send him out at first but I made it clear I expected to be charged. I agree, only I would change it to "Everyone should get paid for their time". I don't expect anyone to come to...

    Had a plumber out this afternoon. Younger guy who is in the process of studying for his journeymans license. Seemed knowledgeable on the codes and the local inspectors. He only identified three problems, all of which have already been pointed out. The santee on its back for the utility sink...

    Thanks for the response - sorry if I came across a little annoyed. I realize answering my questions isn't you primary task in life. You actually could have elaborated a little less and I would have understood. A simple "the bends are too tight for the sewer machine" probably would have worked...

    So please, why don’t you elaborate on some of these suggestions you make. You suggested something, I asked for clarification. You do not respond until after I’ve re-done the work and you say it’s useless. Yet you still haven’t clarified what you are suggesting – you just say it is...

    DWV Layout

    I believe you are correct. Sometimes I think we (people using this forum) expect a little too much from the experts. But at some point, there is only so much you can say from looking at a picture. At that point, it is time for some on-site help. I contacted a friend of mine who has a couple...

    DWV Layout

    I had two 90s - one long sweep and one not. Guess I should have taken the time to go get a second one. I'll replace it. I realized I used the wrong fitting when I was labeling the picture. I plan on swapping it out. I copied this layout from a picture Terry Love posted. I figured since he is...

    DWV Layout

    Thanks for the help - I think. Looks like I'll be re-working everything. But that's OK. I want it to be correct and I'm only looking at the price of materials and my time. I debated a long time over whether to go 3" or 4" to the roof. Looks like I made the wrong decision. OK, are you...

    DWV Layout

    Yeah - I'll make it work. My new plan is to run the shower drain straight down the joist bay to the wall. From that point I'll bring the drain down and the vent up. According to my reading, I have up to 42" before I have to tie in the vent. This should put it at about 36". The drain will have to...

    DWV Layout

    OK, off to do a little more research. The shower was my concern. Looks like it has to be on it's own vent until it get six inches above the water line. By cross fitting, do you mean the fitting that sits on top and has the two drains in the side and the vent out the top? Yeah, wait...

    Thanks for the quick reply. I've attached a picture of the shower. I thought about going 4" for the vent, but didn't. I do have two 3" and will add a two inch later. I realize that doesn't make it 4" though. I figured I'd have to redo some of the pipe lengths during gluing. Since I'm a...
