I was quite pleased with my progress today until I got to the end of the line. No Joy, the trap arm for the laundry tray is 30" off the ground. I can't imagine any tray is ever gonna fit there. Tried rotating the wye, but then could not figure out the vent. Would sure appreciate some...

Yes, thanks, I can visualize that and will go re-draw. For the bath main that only need be 3" - *could it be 4"? I've already got the stick of 4 and only need about 1/2 of it for the vertical, and will need most of the 3 for the laundry drain.

Had an epiphany overnight. Now the laundry sink, the washer stand, and the tub all have trap arms into a vertical san-tee that has up-vent and down-waste to horizontal wye8th. Can I (should I) put an upside down 2" san-tee on top of the 4" stack to add venting to the stack, with the laundry...

First thought: LimeAway or CLR under the rim with a copper scouring pad, a mirror and a dental pick. Tenants forget they have to clean the toilet once in a while, and get under the rim too, to clean the ports like HJ said. Especially here- we have such hard water it is a common problem. The...

HA! used a web link. g'nite all.

307x395 pixels, 40kb. Still get error.

no good, sorry. popup says "the following error occurred: There was a problem." LOL but not so much. It's 117kb .jpg - is there a size limit?

Bath & Laundry Remodel #3, and my first on two floors. Both prior jobs a resounding success thanks to advice and guidance found here. I should get pix of the tile job up - - but I digress. #3. The bathroom is gutted, open, and ready for rebuild. Please see attached pic for reference. I...

Farrukh, I no longer own a BAXI machine so no I will not contact you privately. Year 1, great. Years 2-8, a $500 repair EVERY winter, going w/o both heat and hot water while waiting for parts from Canada. Year 8 I found a path to a sales manager at BAXI to make a Lemon-Law warranty claim, who...

That is sad to hear. These have been my favorite fillers for years and problem-free. Actually it is the Delta brand, I've only heard the two names used interchangeably. The packaging does say anti-siphon, but maybe that is different than siphon breaker. Anyhow, thanks for the advice much as...

Good Morning Oh Venerable Dispensers of Plumbing Advice. a search on the forums yielded no match to <FV75> or <fill valve diaphragm>. My FV75 fill valve is not operating the way I think it should. I have installed many of these, they are the flat ones with a diaphragm. This one was purchased...

All fixed THANK YOU Response from win-air was to call marathon intl which had already proved a dead end for me. Replaced expansion tank, thanks. So then I called every plumber within 50 miles, not a one of them had even heard of Baxi (?!) but I did find one who was willing to give it a go...

The company I bought my -- BAXI LUNA 301fi -- from in 2004, whom I believed was a reliable dealer, no longer sells or services this brand :( , and neither myself or (allegedly) my plumber (and installer of it) has been able to find tech support despite MUCH effort over the last six months. Not...

I have a new crazy idea. Glass shower doors seal watertight, right? So if that method were used on a small door, say, like a cabinet door, that would be watertight also, right? Where I'm going with this is to build a cabinet/shelf that opens into the left (back) wall of an alcove tub...

wow. thanks, all! I don't have a 6' level, but I do have a straight 8' 2x4 I put on end, and put the 4' level on that. Doing it that way it is only about 1/2" down from door to wall. The first 3' from door is about level, the 2nd 3' is about 1/2" off, and the 3rd 3' is another 1/2 off. So...
