    Anti-seize for shower trim?

    I'm installing a Watermark Gramercy shower thermostatic control. The backplate is held in place by chrome plated threaded brass sleeves that leave very little space on the circumference to grab onto. My real concern is that over time corrosion will make the pieces very difficult to unscrew...

    Which venting option is better?

    Thanks for taking a look at this—I tend to favor D, too, but I’m not sure of the reasons why it provides adequate venting for the toilet. In particular— 1) Does the toilet actually not need a nearby vent (given the vent back at the stack)? If not, could the vent in photos B, C, and D just be...

    Air chamber--drop elbow vs drop tee?

    Why does it seem customary to install an air chamber as a water hammer arrestor using a brass drop elbow with a tee fitting beneath it to branch off to a separate arm, like a saquaro cactus? Wouldn't it be easier just to use a brass drop tee and extend the piping up to form the air chamber...

    Toilet venting under the Illinois Code

    I'm interested in relocating a toilet to the other side of a second floor bathroom. This would entail a 3" drain with a developed length of about 8 feet back to the existing soil stack/vent. There would be no easy option to install an additional vent in the toilet drain anywhere near the...

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
