    plumbing vent

    I am working on a basement bathroom. Rough in plumbing is already there, as is a 1 1/2 pvc vent line coming through the floor overhead and ending in a stub. I cannot connect the vent line to the stub because the floor joists are running in the wrong direction and to do so would put the vent...

    Freestanding toilet paper holder

    I am finally getting this project underway and have a question about the toilet paper holder. I am using a bathtub and managed to get about 15 1/2 inches from the center of the toilet to the bathtub, and that within plumbing code. To the left of the toilet I plan to put in a pedestal sink, so...

    new bathtub

    One other question. I went to Home Depot and talked with a retired union plumber. He told showed me what I needed to do to set the trap under the bathtub, he also told me that when I get done not to fill the concrete box with concrete, but rather just leave the gravel and perhaps cover it to...

    Cast iron bathtub and backer board

    I finally made up my mind and decided to go with a new cast iron bathtub from Lowes, Kohler and it was on sale for $269, I think they wanted to get rid of it. Anyway, looking at the tub after I took off the wooden crate top I noticed there was not a very large flange around the back and two...

    thanks for the reply, I went with the cast iron Kohler, don't think I can go wrong plus don't have to bust up any concrete.

    new bathtub

    I have tried every way to install a shower in my roughed in area in the basement. No matter how I lay it out it just won't work. The contractor installed roughed in plumbing for a bathtub and it looks like I will have to put in a bathtub. My question is quick and easy. There are three types...

    trap in line

    I have attached a picture of my new plan to try and get a shower rather than a bathtub in this bathroom. The line in the boxed in pit is a two inch line for sure, I cut the line to listen to sound of running water and also shone a flashlight down it just to see if I could see any resemblance of...

    trap in line

    I had previously posted about this and now just want a little bit of clarification. The picture shows the roughed in plumbing in my basement, I plan to put in a shower rather than a bathtub, the large 3" pvc pipe is intended for the stool, It is located 48" from the concrete wall, the small 2"...

    plumbing rough in

    That makes sense about the trap, I will put one in under the shower. I currently have two lines from my water softener going into that two inch line.I don't think the toilet will be an issue. I plan to move the shower down toward the buckets which will enable me to leave plenty of room...

    plumbing rough in

    I kind of figured the same with the 2" line and do plan on putting it in the wall. The line in the pit is for a bathtub, but I plan on putting in a shower instead which means I have to move the line. I don't think that after I stud in the wall that there will be much room between the shower...

    plumbing rough in

    I have a house that was built in 2004, I am in the process of getting ready to build a bathroom in the basement. The basement has a concrete floor and it also has roughed in plumbing. There are two pvc pipes sticking up through the concrete, one is a 4" pipe for the stool, fourteen inches...
