Thank you Dana. I wish the builder of this house 26 years ago put that kind of though into the duct work design. From what I can tell there are no type of deflectors inside the rectangle return trunk or anywhere for that matter. So if the 26” extension beyond the drop to the air handler on the...

I am in the process of finishing my basement and have part of the cold air trunk that extends beyond the drop to the air handler by about 26” (see pic). The closest return connected to it is about 6 feet to the right of the drop. It hangs down lower than the supply trunk that runs the length of...

Great! Thank you Terry for the quick reply.

I have an outdoor hose bib on the front of my house that is fed by a 1/2" copper line. I want to add a bib on the back of the house exactly opposite that one. Is it legal to tee off that existing 1/2" to feed the new one? Thanks in advance for your help. Ray

I am tiling my bathroom floor and wanted to see how the flange would sit and notch for the screws. The plumber left a 3" diameter riser sticking out of the floor, not yet glued, which comes out of the toilet bend. The flange I bought if placed over the 3" pipe bottoms out on the bend before...

Thanks for the quick response. I double checked the plumbers install and i have 12" to the back wall and 16" to the shower threshold on one side and 18" to the vanity on the other. The reason for the 1/2"CBU is because I had enough left from the shower walls to complete the 50 sq/ft floor. I...

I am the middle of a bath renovation and getting ready to start tiling. I had a plumber complete the rough plumbing for the new shower, relocate the sink drains and remove the old toilet flange so a new on can be placed on top of the finished floor. I don't know what I measured when I cut the...
