drain

Hey everybody. I have a leaking copper drain pipe for a bathroom sink, and I want to replace a section of it with PVC. So I will need to couple the copper (1 3/8" actual OD) to PVC (1.66" actual OD). I want to use a flexible rubber coupling for that, but I'm not seeing clearly what to buy...

I’m probably going to get laughed out of this forum, but please understand I’m a 50 yr old single woman that has no choice but to try and get things done myself. I had a major blockage between my kitchen sink and bathtub (back wall of my house) just went back and forth from one side to the...

I'm renovating my basement and we wanted to add a utility sink to the W/D room. Would the configuration below work for proper draining or is there a risk of the W/D water filling up the sink? I would be tying in the sink drain with a long Y into the horizontal drain and an Air Admittence valve...

I've got a 50's ranch that has the typical single stack. Originally the toilet drained into the stack with the inlet port receiving the tub, lav, and kitchen sink. I'm going to reconfigure the layout while still using the single stack location. Looking at the wet wall in the bathroom, from...

The dishwasher was draining and water was found on the floor in front of the cabinets. Nothing is wet under the dishwasher door. This appears to have come from behind the cabinets. I have no clue why there was a leak. A tight spot finally cracked? A critter chewed a hole? Who knows! This kitchen...

I'm trying to properly Install a washer drain stand pipe to replace the existing check valve drain. I'm not sure, but the check valve seems like a potential problem. The horizontal overhead drain, that T's the vent, is from the kitchen sink/dishwasher. Should I be tying into the vent, to add...

I'm doing a bathroom renovation and my shower is pretty far (8') from my toilet and lav, so I can't wet vent them altogether. Joining them on the same horizontal drain is also difficult. So I had the idea to tie in vertically. The shower will be individually vented. I wanted to tie the two...

Just had a completely new sewer line installed made of PVC. I can now hear a sound coming from my shower drain. Not sure it’s flowing water, it’s a little like the sound of a seashell when you put it up to your ear. This is present even when there’s no water flowing or draining. I’ve checked all...

Right on, very glad I found this forum. Also very sad to hear about Terry's passing. Sounds like a great dude. I am from the USA but live out here in Croatia. Did a total renovation of a flat in an old high-rise (with a crew), and have several questions. This is the least interesting question...

Iam trying to move a kitchen island a few feet. There was previously a washer next to the sink. There are two drains coming up from the concrete slab. Can I use the old washer drain for the sink? The drain on the left is the sink and the one on the right is the old washer drain that doesn’t have...

The home owner strikes again... I told my wife id make her a second bathroom before first developing the requisite skills. Its gone alright so far but i am absolutely losing my mind over trying to install this alcove shower/bath. I bought this tub kit...

Howdy, I recently took on a job doing a house renovation and the owner had already taken the shower out and all I had to work with is the 2” threaded steel pipe with no floor around it. My question is What may be needed to put a kholer cast iron tub back in the same spot the shower was? The...

I have a mop sink that I had installed in my laundry room. I had it installed at waist level because I wanted to use it for bathing my dogs and cats at home. It's great, but I can't stand that there is no way to plug the drain, as it has the standard mop sink/shower-type drain. The outer...

I'm replacing a residential shower floor drain cover, and the threads for it are very slightly under 3", so regular replacements don't fit. I need to track down this manufacturer, does anyone recognize this brand/logo? Googled OIC and nothing came up!

Hi, I am having operating problems with this installation. Samsung unit gives a drain error and doesnt drain without manually pushing the drain button. The dishwasher is on the other side of a corner cabinet from the sink and currently has a 12' drain line with a high loop under the sink...

I'm looking for the easiest and best way to make this single lav waste/vent setup into a double. The current trap adapter is in the center of the wall and the new vanity setup will have an 18" drawer base cabinet in the center and a 30" sink base on both sides of that. Which would make my trap...

Doing your major remodel in Florida slab on grade can you guys check my drain layout and see if you see any problems? Top bathroom has the toilet at the end of the line and does not require venting in my area. I am concerned that it may suck the water out of the shower trap if the 2 ' wet vent...

Hello, I need advice with drain connection from existing laundry drain to new sink. I'm thinking of doing as shown in the picture. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hey all, I am doing a bathroom remodel where I am moving from a single vanity to a double vanity. After looking around at other posts about how to properly setup the draining for the sinks, I have not been able to find a post similar to my scenario. I have the vent stack off the the left in an...

Doing a bathroom remodel where I am changing to a double sink vanity. After looking around a bit I have seen how to handle the drains with venting when the stack is in the same wall. Although I am a bit unsure how to address my situation where the stack is in the adjacent wall. This is the main...
