These guys responded to my inquiry regarding how to determine which cartridge I have. Rare indeed. https://secure.lockeplumbing.com/detail.asp?c=Faucet%20Parts%20U%20through%20Z&s=Wolverine%20Brass&s2=%20&sku=WOL-85107&r1=WHE-USS25C

thanks for reading.. After much research I figured out my shower valve as being a wolverine brass. They made a change in 2009 and use some different cartridges. From what I can tell the newer valve calls for a 3.25 cartridge and the older is 2.25. kind of in a pinch as I don't want to pull...

How can you tell the date? Is there a translation reference somewhere? Thanks...

great idea.. I still have one open... it looks very clean like stainless...

Good day. Another disposal hook-up drain height problem here. Managed to put it together with a straight pipe from the disposal to a 't' fitting at the other bowl then down to the trap. Needed an extra piece between the 't' and the trap which bothers me. Now I am reconsidering as it was a...

A duplex building built in 1976, Everett WA. Been resetting toilets and I find a steel liner of some sort inside the ABS. It starts just below the flange and continues through the bend though I could not get my camera positioned to tell when it stopped. I had the walls open before and from...

could be lead packed in.

Thanks for the input. I am trying to identify the valve body brand and model.

Cannot tell what I have in this rental I purchased. The trim is loose and not much luck finding an allen that will fit.. I assume that if I can identify I can find the right size tool. Thanks in advance... Why do not the manufacturers stamp their products anyway?? Got the handle off...

Since you have no replies, I offer my $.02.. Wrong part perhaps? You should probably identify the make of the valve that you are trying to repair to get any help. And of course leak meaning what, not shutting off, leaking from the stem??? I have heard new stands for 'never ever worked'...

Feeling your pain of no replies.. so my $.02.. cement holds moisture and you are asking for rot. Not sure exactly what you are trying to do but if you are trying to build up perhaps cement backer board.. concrete mix, self leveling cement all would be options.. Sure there are more...

Thanks for reading and providing input. I have the opportunity to install a new 60" shower pan. The PO had converted the right side drain (a former tub) to a center drain. I am guessing it would be easy enough for me to move it back if I wanted. I am installing a sterling acrylic base. I...

Took a plastic putty knife and started removing caulk.. Two layers. Different material. I added a couple pics. One layer supposedly adhering a drip lip covered by a second layer of silicone. They only installed ( or should I say attempted to install) the drip edge on the side below the...

What kind of mortar is proper for that, regular or modified or does it matter? Did a delta a while back and they specifically stated not to use modified thinset.

I have a leak in this thing and am trying to determine how it was installed. I have only done shower pans with built in curbs and lips. This appears to only be sealed by caulking?? Had to take the wall down behind it to fix secure the loose valve body and decided better to do a test by...
