    Adding a shower drain to old concrete

    OK. Got it. I didn't use the combo on it's back because it brought me up too high. I trust your opinion, but not quite sure what the problem is with the 45's. Nothing is going uphill, I just 45'd down out of the trap. It probably just looks like it because in the picture the assly is...

    Adding a shower drain to old concrete

    Final inspection Thanks guys for the vent info. Awesome! Here is my final product. I vented back around the 3" stack to get to the toilet vent, and put 45's between the stack and the trap. After reading other threads, I tried to get the trap as close as possible to the surface, the 45's...

    Adding a shower drain to old concrete

    follow-up OK, here's where I'm at now. I'd like to hear if this is a good way to go. I am going to rent a soil pipe cutter to score and crack the cast in front of the bell. I've got a 4" mission no-hub coupling (cast iron to plastic) to a 4x4x3 dwv comb. go up with the 3" to a new clean-out and...

    Adding a shower drain to old concrete

    Ahhh Thanks for the input! I do know that the 4" line coming down is the elbow end heading out to the septic past the toilet. But you are right, I'm guessing how far down it goes and I don't even know what to look for to tie a 2" drain to the cast. Sounds like it could be ugly. So what...

    washer drain backup

    I have a washer drain that on occasion, over the years, has backed up. Needless to say, it's a horrible mess, (slab). My little HD snake has paid off and always done a good job. The clean out is right behind the dryer. I am now remodeling the laundry and I have an idea. I am usually a diy, I've...

    Toto CST754SF 12" Rough-in

    10 3/4" rough in After my remodel, I had a 11" rough in to the toilet bolts. I fussed around shopping and figured I needed a 10" rough in to fit my situation. Not so. I put in the Toto Drake and it fit fine. Also, I have about 3/4 gap between the back of the bowl to the wall, (critical fit...

    10" rough in toilet

    Hey thanks for the input. What a great site. After posting my situation, I learned a ton through the forum. I gave up on the Toto, since my tile is up and I don't want to move the water line. I am really glad I saw that on the spec sheet! I'll look at Toto on the next bath upgrade. It really...

    10" rough in toilet

    After my bath remodel, I have 11" rough in. After looking at the Toto toilet (unifit for 10" rough in) I see in needs 8" water rough in to accomodate the skirt. I have 5" to the flange center, 6" to the pipe. I could use some help. I don't want a cheap, crappy (sorry!) toilet. Any...
