Hey guys, I bought a house a couple years ago and it looks like it has an older Clack WS1 water softener with a date on the tank of 06-18-2018. I don't want to mess it up so is there a manual for it? Of course there isn't any marking on it other than on the bottom of the tank itself. I'm not...

Hey guys I'm working on my bathroom remodel and decided to use a bathtub surround. I have a Delta shower valve and soldered on a 1/2" copper tub spout. I was going to install the surround but realized the surround peice that sits against the shower valve/tub spout wall has to be slid into...

Yes that is exactly what I was trying to say. Sorry if my terminology is hard to understand. I'm well above the flood rim level

Thank you! My vents turn 90 degrees about 3' above the flood rim level (~54" from floor) and are sloped accordingly. If I'm understanding aggregate vent area the vents have to be matched to the main drain size. I have 2 full baths, washer, utility sink that's not hooked up, and kitchen sink...

I'm remodeling my bathroom and moved my toilet and tub. I decided to do the plumbing in my bathroom. The fixtures (tub, toilet, double sink vanity) is all on the exterior wall of my house (2x4 construction) I have about 4" of space between concrete and my floor to bring the vent up the...

Thanks! That's what I needed to know. OK perfect. I will add some support. I'll have to double check but I'm almost positive it's 4' between beams running down the length of my house.

Hey guys, I'm running some PEX to replace some galvanized pipe in my bathroom. I have a house built using post and beam construction. How do you run PEX perpendicular to the beams? If you are supposed to support it every 32" and the beams are 4' apart? How far apart is it OK to run PEX side...

I tried a new cone washer (I found a rubber one) and it didnt stop the leak. I wrapped the threads in teflon tape and the leak stopped. I know it's not a permanent fix but I have no idea what to do at this point. I also wrapped teflon tape around the sink drain nut and it stopped that leak too...

Perfect. The plastic does have a joint on it and I was thinking that was the issue. I'm going to look for those washers or find another ptrap that doesnt have the joint on the bottom. Thanks!

I will give that a try when I get home. I've been tightening the swivel on the trap first then everything after that.

Got my wife to send me a pic while I'm at work...

It wont be until I get off work tomorrow. The plastic cone washer is facing the correct direction on every fitting. The sink drain leaked because the rubber washer was threaded and I didnt realize it and I didnt want long enough for the silicone caulking to dry on drain. The stoppage makes...

Hey guys, Doing a small remodel on my bathroom and replaced the vanity/sink and had to do some plumbing. At first I had a leak at every fitting but I've since replaced the ptrap again with with different brand and the leaks (except 1) have stopped. The one leak that I cant figure out is the...
