'tis true, but I've always found that I could aim a fixed showerhead better than I could a hand held. The hand held mount always seems to have some limitation as to where you can place the stream compared to the fixed unit. Doug

Hello all, Need opinions/expertise on this. I'm at a crossroads here. I was going to plumb a diverter valve in my shower and attach a hand held shower slider bar in my shower stall in addition to the regular shower head. With Grohe valves/parts this addition was going to add $700+ to the...

I did all this searching and came up with some nice fixtures to install in my shower and the pricey Grohe valve is female threaded! I really prefer the ease of the sweat joint. How should I handle the threaded valve? TFE, tape.. ? Could I flux it and go metal to metal with a threaded...

ok, it's reinstalled and plumb. a level check on each side of vertical drain pipe gives a level result. The cement sure does dry fast! However I did find that it was still a little workable seconds later to get the drain pipe centered. Now, hopefully no leaks. Is the purple...

pipe repair band? Hadn't seen one of those before. Google search found a 1/2" x 3" stainless steel band with a neoprene liner and tightening bolt attached to it. Is this what you're talking about? I suppose the neoprene sleeve would support the nicked wall. The best way to solve this...

Hello, If one were to nick the hot water copper pipe with a hand saw while removing the surrounding stud, :eek: and it does not leak now, does that mean forever no leak? Thanks, Doug

Hello all, I'm solvent welding my p-trap drain in a shower stall. I've already redone it and the I'm close to centered, however I've been reading that I need to make sure that the drain is plumb. What is plumb? Does this mean that the drain pipe that comes up through the floor must be...

Kerdi systems eh? I just realized that these trays could be cut to my dimensions. I previously thought that your rough-in had to match their dimensions to use that system. I should be able to purchase a Kerdi system at HD. I've seen another preformed system from Tile-Redi. Their 48X42...

Hello all, I've torn out my old shower, moved my p-trap, and relocated/installed new shower valve based on my planned install for an all tile shower. I've read where the recommended "box" to be formed along the bottom of the shower is from 2X10's cut and nailed between the existing studs...
