    Can I pipe two bathroom fans to one roof vent?

    The problem as I understand it is that if both fans are using the same duct and are both running at the same time, the fans will be less efficient and more noisy because it will be like installing a fan with a smaller duct that it was rated for. The fan(s) would have to work harder and would...

    HELP! Manabloc/PEX Problem

    I am in the process of installing a 36 port manaboc right now, and I know how easy it is to cross-thread one of the main ports since I almost did it myself! The problem is that the threads are plastic on the manabloc, and if you ruined them by completely cross-threading the entire thread on the...

    Toilet Too Far From Wall

    Wow, I would have thought that he would have explained the situation and cleared it with you before doing any work on that toilet rough-in. I can't say whether the install was done incorrectly without seeing pictures because maybe he was telling the truth that he could not install on the other...

    Overexpansion of ProPex (Wirsbo/Uponor)

    I think I know what your're talking about. I never liked the quick and easy system, and no one I have spoken with likes it either. I think you are asking if the Q&E joints are as good as crimp joints, I believe they are since if I remember correctly, I couldn't pull apart the Q&E joint while...

    Am I going to have trouble with my trap?

    I am BC, Canada. And the code book was just updated a few months ago, so it's current for my region. The weather is fairly mild all year round here, so that's why I was trying to get away without using a primer, but I just looked in the code book regarding floor drains and it says I should be...

    Am I going to have trouble with my trap?

    My code book allows a 2" wet vent to serve 4 fixture units, and I am using a total of 4 for that line in my proposed drawing. Do you guys still think I should upsize? I guess I will take a look into priming that water heater trap, thanks for the info everyone!

    Am I going to have trouble with my trap?

    I am kind of nervous about one small part of my plumbing design, my code book shows this installation to be ok, but it just doesn't look right to me for some reason. Will my water heater drain trap be affected by the draining of the washing machine? thx.

    Question about adding a drain

    Your water supply lines are pressurized...you can splice into them as many times as you want. Yes there is a limit as to how far you can run a horizontal drain line even if you maintain correct slope...but you will have to check with local codes to determine what that limitation is. The...

    DWV expansion joints

    I am not familiar with using expansion joints, so I am hoping the more experienced plumbers here could enlighten me: 1) Are they used to guard against movement in the ground, roof, or both? 2) Where are they placed...at the bottom of a stack? 3) Should every stack have an expansion...

    Water heater drain pan

    I am just wondering what you guys do to connect the vertical tailpiece/downspout to the galvanized water heater drain pan. The tailpiece is brass, but the pan is galvanized. Is it possible to solder the 2 together using acid flux and regular solder? thx.

    How difficult is replacing this bathtub

    1) normally these 1 to 3 piece units are just screwed into the wall studs, you may have to be persuasive to get it out and possibly cut it out since its only acrylic. 2) when you change the bathtub, you almost always have to replumb the drain

    Concrete Demoliton Advice

    I am trying to learn about doing concrete demolition the most efficient way, but am not having much luck finding reading material. I am interested in making small-medium sized holes, as well as occasionally making trenches. Should I go with a demoliton hammer? Or a full sized jackhammer? Or...

    pressure relief valve

    Yes that's pretty much all there is to it. If it's an old tank it might be "frozen" in there pretty good. Be sure to kill the juice to the tank and drop the water level in the tank below the valve before you start.

    Making holes in cocrete backerboard

    I am curious as to how to make small holes for plumbing in concrete backerboard, I know you can score the hole and carefully bash it out, but is there an easier way? Is it possible to use a router with a carbide striaght bit or something along those lines? Thx.
