    Grohe rough-in valve, but shower head only

    Hey everyone, I have a Grohe 4-port rough-in valve: I installed one a couple years ago in another bathroom and ended up capping the top and putting an ell from the bottom, which then split off to the tub spout and to the shower head - it's working great, no pesky drips, etc. Now we are getting...

    gfci - can i feed multiple receptacles?

    Actually the bathroom receptacle I am replacing is in the middle of an existing loop - it then continues off into the bedroom receptacles - should I pigtail the wires so that the bedroom is not on the gfci circuit?

    gfci - can i feed multiple receptacles?

    I've got a GFCI in the bathroom, middle of a run (two receptacles daisy chained after). I want to add another receptacle in the bathroom, can I have the hot run coming into the Line terminal of the gfci and then have two runs coming out of the load terminals (there are two sets of lines and...

    Testing Copper Supply Lines before hooking up

    Hey everyone, I've sweated about 20 joints - I'm t'ing off the cold & hot water in the bathroom that previously had one sink and will now have two. I've got everything done, but would like to test the joints (and my sweating abilities / inabilities) before hooking up to the supply lines...

    Terminater 2 Soldering

    3rd time's a charm - got it to work Not sure why it didn't the first two times - definitely no water in the pipes, I'm getting things ready before I hook up to the source. I have openings so that wasn't an issue.

    Terminater 2 Soldering

    Ok, so I'm cruising along, sweating joints and I'm down to my second to last one. Everything is good, I've got everything set, copper shined up, flux added, pipe & T fit together, adjacent joints have a damp cloth wrapped around so they don't come undone. I heat up the T (coupling) and...

    Type L Bend - is this bad?

    Definitely! My sweating is hitting the sweet spot and it's so cool to see the solder go into the fitting and wrap it's way in the joint! (especially since yesterday when I would get the solder around the top of the joint and after it cooled it fell apart) A lot of work and a some redo, but...

    Type L Bend - is this bad?

    just got back from the hw store, elbows in hand, cut the pieces and now going to start soldering. I knew what the answer was going to be. Although I enjoy doing work around the house, I hate having to redo work that I've messed up. I haven't soldered in a couple years and it's taken yesterday...

    Type L Bend - is this bad?

    So, I'm remodeling my bathroom and fishing Type L through 2x4's, I need to bend the tube up towards the source which is above the DWV. I went a bit too far on the bend, but is this bad? The pipe doesn't look like it has any cracks in it, but doesn't look like it'll take much - do I need...
