    Help with Large Master Shower plumbing

    I'm building a house for my daughter & son-in-law and a large walk-in shower with no door was the most important feature requested by my daughter. I'm not convinced that a door-less shower will stay warm, so I designed it so a door could be easily added if needed. Also trying to talk them out...

    Is there a downside to wiring a water heater for simultaneous operation?

    I'm planning on trying a 50 gallon water heater wired for simultaneous operation in lieu of a tankless unit for my barn. This will have a separate cutoff switch so it can stay off until needed, but I need to reduce the heatup time - and the recovery time during use if it will work in this...

    Should flue be completely sealed up through the roof?

    I had my furnace replaced a few months ago and they moved it about 4 feet from its old location. I just noticed recently that the flue has an opening into the attic. It comes straight down to a "wye" with the angle heading to the furnace flue - but the straight down portion of the wye is just...

    What is the best shower head for high flow?

    Looking for the best flow shower head after removing the flow restrictor. Also wondering if a 3/4" valve is worth the difference in conjunction with an unrestricted showerhead.

It will be located at one end of a 4' x 8' small bath in a barn (toilet on opposite wall). The concrete slab is level from left to right - but it is about 1/4" lower at the threshold...

    Any experiences with the Bosch AE 125 (Electric) Tankless?

    Does anyone have any info regarding this unit's reliability? Are there better options for electric tankless water heaters? There's no gas available so I need to stick with electric. This is the only unit I could find that, at least on paper, meets my needs - from a recognizable brand name. Of...

    Can I use both the shower & tub ports on a thermostatic valve?

    I'm looking at 3/4" thermostatic valves (currently the American Standard R540) and in all applications they show either the shower or the tub port being used with the other port plugged. Is there any reason I can't utilize both ports? The application is a horse wash stall. The "shower" port...

    No vents installed in barn before concrete was poured.

    I hope this isn't a major problem. I have a shower, toilet and two sinks going into my barn. The drain lines are all in and the concrete was poured, but there are no separate vent lines - just the drain pipes for each fixture. Is this a problem? How can the toilet be vented?
