There is a 2in cast iron pipe for shower drain which has been snapped just above the Bell coupler. It is jagged, ranges like teeth from about .5in to 1in. Surface was crusty but solid. First the plumber used Fernco 2in cast to 2in ABS. This allowed a leak to seep from cast iron (at the...

Had plumbers remove old 2in cast iron p trap for a shower, and install a ABS 1.5in P trap for a tub/shower. All he did was jackhammer around, snap cut the cast which broke all jagged at the lead coupler. He left about a lip ranging from .5in to 1 in protruding from the old Lead coupler. He...

I am remodeling a bathroom, and would like to reuse the Symmons Temp-trol shower/bath valve, which is barely a year old. So the deal is they used this large round plate to hide the large hole. But now I am rebuilding the whole wall/tile so I could cut a small hole, is there a way to get a...

I am replacing a shower with a bath/shower. The supply lines will need to be dropped a few feet and I need to install the Tub spout. Currently the vent is right in the way if I were to lower the lines. The vent comes up about 4 feet then takes a 90 degree turn left to the stack. The vent is...

I have a shower valve I would like to reuse, but it is soldered in copper pipes. Can I cut it out, then re heat and will it slide apart so I can reuse? How would I get the old solder out of the valve? thanks jeff

After getting a quote for $1200 to move my toilet 10 feet, I am seriously considering just DIY. I have gutted the bathroom. The original toilet location is a 4 inch cast iron. It goes back to the wall (it is about 15 inches away from the wall BTW) with an elbow. There is a clean out on the...
