I have a TOTO TSTA single volume control thermostatic mixing valve in the master bath. I installed this maybe 10 years ago. The problem: recently, it started to leak from the shower head. It is a very slow leak: water builds up in the shower head, then it comes out in a flood (assuming surface...

OK, I have exactly one bath remodel under my belt. I used Toto parts exclusively for that job, primarily because we liked a particular suite of products (everything has to match). I am now getting ready to do a remodel of the main bath. I am wondering if there is something better out there...

I am nearly finished with a bathroom remodel, and tried out the new shower today. It seems that the new shower head is producing a lot more water vapor (as compared to my previous shower head which was a Hansgrohe purchased in the early/mid 1990's) resulting in considerably more condensation on...

I just installed a Toto Soiree toilet: it looks great. However, after a flush there is a dripping sound. Its been about a half hour since the last flush, and I still hear the drip. I don't see a drip in the tank or in the bowl: it sounds like its coming from somewhere else? Any thoughts?

As a followup to my post below, I have a shower floor drain that has a vent running vertically (up into the attic) in an adjacent wall. On the opposite side of that wall, I have a lavatory that is currently draining via thin walled pipe to the trap of another lav in a double lav configuration...

I am remodeling a bath that has a lav that is back to back with another lav in an adjacent bath (i.e., both baths share the same wall for all plumbing). Attached is picture of fitting that is now serving both sink drains: plumbing supply fellow called it a double ell. Distance to main...

I've had pretty good luck (as an amateur) sweating 1/2", 3/4" and occasionally even 1" copper for various DIY projects around my house. Recently, I attempted to sweat an 1 1/2" trap adapter to a double ell (?) DWV fitting, both (I believe) made of cast brass. I cleaned all surfaces very well...

First off, I hope this is the right forum. We are planning a remodel of a bathroom in a 1960’s vintage ranch in Connecticut. We would like to remove one of the interior non-load bearing walls in the bathroom, but unfortunately, that is the wall that is used as a chase for a vent pipe. In...
