    Moving Whirlpool fixture, no good options!

    Thanks for the helpful suggestions. The wall mount isn't an option because I have all the parts purchased and the wife doesn't like the "telephone" faucets. Mounting on the left is possible, however I the handles will swing into the tub rim so I will need to locate them elsewhere or raise the...

    Moving Whirlpool fixture, no good options!

    Hello, I'm renovating my bathroom but keeping the existing non-jetted whirlpool soaker tub. Many years ago the builders installed the faucet in the back right corner. I have covered the old holes with caps. I'm trying to relocate them to another spot due to the following reasons: The spout...

    American Standard Cadet Pro, 215CA.004

    Is this one of the Cadets where users report having to hold down the handle for the entire flush period? I like this model but can't figure out which ones have this annoying feature.

    Need to raise drainpipes for hanging vanity

    I forgot that I can just turn the santee to face outward! I am going to dry fit that and also open up the wall to raise for elbows for the vent since I don't wan't to go out and buy 45's. I'll give it a shot today after work. Thanks everyone!

    Need to raise drainpipes for hanging vanity

    What if I extend the vertical run above the sanitary? I can go as far vertical as I need, I would just remove more drywall. The santee is upside down.

    Need to raise drainpipes for hanging vanity

    Yes it needs to be to the right otherwise the "U" shape void where the vanity drawer is will not align with the drain pipe. All of this work is to center the plumbing into a small 10" x 10" space.

    And I noticed the sanitary tee is upside down. I'll fix that before glueing it all together.

    Need to raise drainpipes for hanging vanity

    So, I dry fitted the pieces together. Did not use the shielded coupling on the pipe sticking out of the stud because I would have to flip the street elbow over and it would raise the height of the final drain pipe an extra inch that is a little too much. I'll use the shielded coupling on top...

    Need to raise drainpipes for hanging vanity

    Hmm, I thought the purpose of the street elbow was to a avoid using a short piece of pipe? The existing pipe goes right into one end of the shielded coupling, then the street elbow goes into the other? Now I am getting confused, but I think if I buy a bunch of fittings I can probably just piece...

    Need to raise drainpipes for hanging vanity

    So, Here is the spec sheet of the standard long sweep elbow. Not sure if I am reading this correctly but it looks like I gain about 1/4" if clearance using the street + shielded coupling compared to just sticking the long sweep (non street) fitting on. Wondering if that 1/4" makes any...

    I think I have located the item: https://www.grainger.com/product/FERNCO-300-Stainless-Steel-2ZJ83 Thanks to both contributors here. I will pick up these fittings and give it a try later this week. Cheers

    My local supply house carries these sweeps. Do you know one do I need? They list two, both seem very similar to me. I am not familiar with the shielded couplers. I'm not able to find any listed at Grainger for 1-1/2" size.

    Need to raise drainpipes for hanging vanity

    It is 1-1/2" pipe. The midpoint of the vent pipe is 8" from the stud.
