    How to plumb moen vertical spa

    Bump for help. I can't get this soldering thing figured out. I just can't get the solder to suck into the brass shower valve. The solder will begin to melt but it won't suck it in. I know it's hot enough as I can melt the solder when I touch it to the brass. I pull the fittings out after I...

    How to plumb moen vertical spa

    Yes this will be a kerdi shower should have mentioned that before. :) Is it really that critical to mock up all of that for a differential of perhaps a 1/4" in thickness? I am weeks away from tiling probably and haven't picked out any tile. Won't there be that much adjustment just in the threads...

    How to plumb moen vertical spa

    Got it! But there is no finished wall? I know I need to add 1/2" for the drywall but what about for the thin set and tile? Will I have some wiggle room or does it have to be right on?"

    How to plumb moen vertical spa

    Here is the install book if anyone would like to take a look. Another question- I haven't received the body jets yet, but in the diagram it shows two supply lines going to each bodyjet. Is there two sweat inputs or what I'm thinking is that there is just one and you solder a tee into it to...

    To the right it goes to the stack or the wet vent, I believe that's the right terminology. This is a 3" stack with a pipe going up and one going down to the sewer I think. To the left is the trap and drain for the tub. In the picture you can see the drain and trap for the shower.

    Please Help Me With Shower Plumbing

    A guy over at the John Bridge tile forum suggested I come over here for some help. I am in the process of building a shower. I recently put in the plumbing and a few of the guys over there are telling me that I have an issue with the horizontal wye. I am pretty sure what I have is a wet vent...
