Thanks. The problem is the frame of the closet behind the one shower is directly behind the valve. The other bathroom there is a cabinet behind the valve. We aren't remodeling. Maybe I'll just get the front cover plate they use to convert the multi handle to single handle.

Is there any kind of extra trim ring I can use if I want to replace the rough in valve from the front of the shower? I know there are ones for going from 3 handle to one handle but I already have a single handle currently there.

I have a Delta 1500 series shower unit from 1996. About 4 years ago the cartridge went and Delta sent me the 1500 to 1700 conversion kit for free, RP29405. Being that this unit is now converted can I replace it with a new 17T series Delta kit without changing the rough in valve? Thanks

Hey guys. Sorry about not being around, I just kind of forgot about it after I was done. Between the 2 I'd go with the Corbelle personally but it really is just about a 6 of one half dozen of the other situation. Both flush and clean well. The only day to day difference between the two is the...

I've been on a toilet replacement binge at the house so I thought I'd share some insight that I've acquired. We wanted all skirted toilets so I went with the Kohler Corbelle and the Toto Vespin II. Both are 1.28gpf skirted ADA height elongated toilets with each company's respective premium...

Hey guys thanks for all the help. I got it done. Once again you guys are the best.

Just got a Toto Vespin II before realizing that the shutoff valve needed to be 5.5" off center. Mine is 5" off center. Toilet is basically a 12.5" rough in, that's where the bolts are from the tiled wall. However I'm not getting the clearance I was expecting from the wall. I;m not even sure I...

All done. Went with a wax seal with a horn. Thank you so much for your time.

What do you think?

Just got back from the plumbing supply with the same floor flange I had there before. So I'll drop it in. Peen the lead. And screw it down.

Unfortunately when laying the Superior Super Ring on top it was about an inch above the finished floor because it was resting on the lead and not just the old flange. There was no way it was going down much farther. So I curled the lead up, I know, and was able to easily lift the old ring and...

I'm on my way to Lowe's. 1/4 x 1 1/4" Tapcon to drill it to the concrete?

If I go with the Superior 21015 do I need to remove as much of the old ring as possible or do I just lay the superior on top?

Also I've been using the Korky wax free seals on the other toilets with no problems or leaks so I'll stick with that if possible. Lastly, the new toilet covers the unfinished area currently there so no worries there.
