    PVC-to-metal leak at coupler

    Hi WorthFlorida. So sorry for the delay in thanking you. I meant to do it immediately but got distracted and forgot. Your response to my post was thorough and well stated. You even anticipated a followup question I was going to have regarding the repair tapes! I ended up just abandoning the...

    PVC-to-metal leak at coupler

    Hi. I've used this forum often for my indoor plumbing issues but this is the first time I've tried it for an irrigation. Thank you in advance. I have an underground pvc pipe that feeds an outdoor faucet. I dug up the area and see the following (pictures attached): 1. PVC pipe goes into a...

    Toilet flange gasket? What is this?

    I am actually just putting the existing toilet back. We had some water damage in the wall so I had to remove the toilet to replace the drywall and am trying to figure the best way to rebuild the installation. The existing ring (you called it the "brass in the basket" above) is actually plastic...

    Toilet flange gasket? What is this?

    Hi Reach4, 1. Approximate inner diameter of the pipe is 3.75". Approximate outer diameter is 4.25". 2. The pipe extends out of the hole roughly 1/4" though the end of the pipe is not smooth. Very jagged and variable, in a non-uniform way, almost as if the end of it had broken off long ago. New...

    Toilet flange gasket? What is this?

    Hi, I just pulled up my toilet in my 60 year old house to replace it and found this underneath. The setup from top to bottom was toilet sitting a wax ring with the built-in black flange, on top of a black plastic flange. That plastic flange was sitting on some type of material fiber ring...

    Faucet drain pipe leaking between P trap and stub out

    Thanks again. I will attempt to remove/cut off the black nut from the galvanized pipe tonight. Can I just screw the new white pvc nut directly on to the galvanized pipe? On some sites I see people screw some type of brass connector (trap adapter?) onto the galvanized which gives new "better"...

    Faucet drain pipe leaking between P trap and stub out

    Thank you for the quick reply, Terry. I don't quite understand the recommendation. I've attached a hand sketch to try to be more clear. The leak is not at the wall stubout. It is between the existing horizontal arm (black) and the new p trap (white). Are you suggesting adding a rubber slip...

    Faucet drain pipe leaking between P trap and stub out

    Hi all, I installed a new vanity in the bathroom and am replacing the p trap to the new sink. I might be using the wrong terms so please bear with me. The current setup is a stub out made of metal. Attached to that is a black PVC trap arm. The part that angles down to the p trap is flared...

    Identify toilet parts

    Thank you so much! I'm trying to find an exploded view of this Kohler Ingenium 85297 fill valve online to see if the washer is part of it but no luck yet since it is discontinued. Anyone else know about the washer?

    Identify toilet parts

    Hi. I am in the process of replacing the wax ring on my toilet this morning. When I turned off the water and then disconnected the inlet hose from the toilet I noticed on the ground a small washer and a large rubber auger-shaped piece. I had turned my head so I can't be 100% sure they came...

    Toilet flange about 1/4" below new floor level

    I just put in a new laminate floor in my bathroom. Now my floor is about 1/4" taller than the toilet flange. I really want to install correctly because the previous toilet had some type of seal leak at the flange and discolored the surrounding linoleum. I have purchased two solutions and want...

    Attaching new PVC drainpipe to copper stub out

    I just removed an old bathroom vanity, sink, and plumbing back to the wall in a house built in 1964. The existing connection from the wall was a brass piece that threaded into the stubout. The existing drainpipe was chrome and was sweated in to the brass piece. I am not going to sweat any new...

    Best complete, elongated, tall toilet under $200

    Hi Terry. The way I am interpreting your response is that in the under $200 range you have no suggestions and any is as good as the next? Or are you saying that I could find a Toto in my price range locally? Maybe my budget of $200 is too low to get a quality toilet?
