    Best shower valve--ranking companies from high to low

    Not that I have any experience in other valves, but I've been real pleased with the GroheSafe PBV's I installed in my two bathrooms.

    Tub spout moves, doesn't seem secure...

    Thanks for the responses. From an access panel in the back, I think I might be able to clamp the horizontal pipe to a board to hopefuflly get rid of the rotation in the vertical pipe, which is most of the movement I think i'm seeing. I was also thinking of of trying to secure the pipe in...

    Tub spout moves, doesn't seem secure...

    A drop ear is the one that sweats onto the vertical, screws into the wall, and threads into the horizontal? Similar to the one that goes into the shower head? Darn, i was debating using one of those, but decided go go with what was in there before. Is it a good bet that this will be an...

    This may be a stupid question, but do I need to install shutoff valves for a shower?

    I installed shutoff valves to my lines to the showers, since I did the work myself, over several months...I still needed water to the rest of the house, so it was necessary.

    Tub spout moves, doesn't seem secure...

    Used caulk, and it looks Ok, though not as clean as I'd hope w/ a flush mount. Still concerned about the movement of the pipe. Could it cause possible damage to the pipe in the future, with kids grabbing on it during bathtime?

    Grohe Shower head installation question

    I just installed the shower fixtures (grohe eurosmart) in our new tile shower. The little circle trim piece that goes around the shower downspout doesn't remain flush against the tile. Should I silicon it inplace, or is there another way to keep it flush? Thanks much.

    Toilet Flange installation

    I am getting ready to install the toilet flange, and I want to make sure it is oriented correctly. How should the two slotted holes that connect the bolts to the toilet be oriented relative to the wall? Should the center of both those holes be equidistant to the wall, the end of the holes...

    Copper Pipe questions

    Yup, leak checked the copper pipe. Turned on, off, on off, left pressurized for 24 hours+, turned on and off throughout the day. It worked with no leaks. will probably recheck, since I have to take the 1/4" CBU down and replace with 1/2". Doh!

    Went there to post tiling question on tiling 12" x 24" tile, and got responses telling me my sub-wall was wrong. Whew! Saved me some trouble down the road before I got tile up!

    Copper Pipe questions

    I never thought of taping while tiling. You do end up with the speed bump. I had done the office/kitchen/dining room this way -but I installed heater blankets ontop of that, so that's why I did the joints first. If I wait to seal the joints till I tile, should I have any worries about...

    Copper Pipe questions

    Thanks much! I vacuumed the pipe out, and it worked. For another pipe, I put solder on the coupling, then heated the pipe, and slid the coupling on the pipe. Solder then would sweat real nice into the joint. Leak checked the work today, and it looks good! Soldering job doesn't look...

    Copper Pipe questions

    I am remodeling the master bath. I have a shower pan installed, and will be installing tile walls. I am rerouting the hot and cold lines running to my new shower valve. The old lines don't match the new valve inputs, so I have to reroute them. Question #1 - 45 & 90 deg joints I'm assuming...
