    Another PVC fitting question -- wall mount?

    thanks for the saddle tee answer yesterday but I also want to know if there is a fitting you can mount to a wall that will allow a drain pipe (1" or greater) to pass through a wall? it's an odd thing I'm doing where I need to drain something inside from time to time but would like to...

    Outside of pipe drain PVC fitting?

    Is there any type of fitting that you can attach to the outside of a 4" drain pipe that will follow the curve of the pipe and allow you to get a drain hole (1" or higher diameter) out of it? Maybe you glue or silicone (with a couple screws also?) to the outside? look sort of like this but...

    Insinkerator fiber? gasket

    I have an evolution series disposal and it seems like is has a lot more "torque" than others I've used. It's been installed for 3 years but now leaking because the entire disposal now "jolts" and spins a bit on startup, which has created a gap in the putty. First of all, why isn't there a...

    Is plumbers putty crap?

    I installed a garbage disposal 2 years ago and all has been fine but now it's leaking and can see the sink piece (insinkerator disposal) turning a bit when I start the disposal. It's a compact, high torque? model -- pretty powerful it seems to me. I only used putty because that's what the...

    Well to house plastic pipe

    When they ran a new pipe from my well to the house, seems to me the guy told me it was a "newer" more advanced technology -- anyway, it's 1" (looks like it, haven't measured) black plastic and I believe it was on a roll, (trying to remember) so I guess somewhat flexible. Is this just a PVC pipe...

    PVC glue strengths

    Are all PVC cements created equal or do some cure stronger/much stronger? Looking for a pro who knows. I have a piece of 4" pipe that cracked off (the inspection pipe on my septic system). I know cleaning is important but I'd to at least try to reglue it using a medium or thick bodied cement...

    Septic biomat

    Didn't see a separate forum so will just take a chance here. Sometime ago my septic tank overflowed out the inspection pipe and was fixed but since then the area around where the pipe is has created "biomat"? that gurgling, black stuff that looks like it's feeding on soil. Anyway, I tried using...

    Can't put flange bolts in slots

    I have a toilet that I'd like o turn 90 degrees and the flange looks like this with just 2 slots -- https://www.contractoraccess.com/product/40012/ The original position of course, had the mounting bolts in the slots but now like I say would like to turn it 90 degrees so I'm guessing it's a...

    Foam in well water?

    Why is it all of a sudden this morning my water looks like someone has poured me a beer? Full of air bubbles -- seems worse in the kitchen where I put a brand new faucet in 2 weeks ago. There is a huge "foam" top like a beer head on the water. There is an aerator on the new kitchen faucet but it...

    Rid X etc.

    The great thing about forums is that you're talking to pros and generally get accurate answers. It's very much appreciated from us brain pickers. My drain field is sluggish and draining slowly and I don't have the money right now to have them "jet" ? it. I did my best with a rental auger and...

    4" drain cracked at elbow

    I know it probably doesn't exist but I've had a piece of 4" pipe that is the inspection pipe for my drain field that has been cracked straight through and I've repaired it before only to have it fail several months later. The trouble is that to replace the section of pipe will be a nightmare...

    Sink clips for 1 1/2" countertop ?

    I bought some U channel sink clips and supposedly they are extra long for 1 1/2" countertops. Really? Don't know if anyone can make sense of these for me but there is no way to grab the side of the uchannel with these so they stay in place. Fact is, they look no different than the clips that...

    Opinion(s) on possible leach field problem

    I bought this house several years ago and I suppose I should have known where my leach field was but all I know is the system worked and I had many more remodeling issues to deal with. House was built in 1961 and the guy who owned it, owned all the land around here including the neighbors...

    Washing machine -- vent ?

    I have a bath and the vent is going up from the sink drain and there is a toilet just a couple of feet away -- both work fine. My question is -- I have a washing machine that will be about 8ft away from the sink that will tie into that drain system. I plan on using a ptrap on the washing...

    Vent through gable ?

    Can you have a bathroom vent through the high part of a gable wall? Like very near the roof itself? I have a simple ranch home so it would be near the peak of the roof and hopefully I can do this so I don't have to go through the roof. And is 2" PVC ok to use? This is a second bath, far from...

    Water to detached garage

    I plan on having the proper pipe buried etc to get to the garage but I wanted to ask about the water supply itself. I have a 1/2" cold water copper pipe that is in my basement and it's the closest water source inside the house to the garage. The main from the well/pressure tank would be a pain...
