I was actually looking at one of these, as I replumbed with PEX-A a few years ago. I don't mind sweating in an adapter to the one you suggest though if it will fit better and be more stable.

Yup! That bathroom is next, gotta keep it functional until this one is finished though.

Thanks! Yeah planning to add a 2x4 and a drop ear for the shower arm. I would likely come straight across the top too and eliminate a bend.

Are there any drawbacks to running a pex line from the mixer to the shower head like the picture below? What size pex should I use, 1/2 or 3/4? I am redoing the shower on this side of the wall and want to put a niche in where the current shower line runs. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. In the install doc the P2-500 is recommended to be installed with a debris lop and a union. It has neither. My guess is we have a clogged valve or primer. When you adjust the primer it gurgles a little but no flow, same unit downstairs opens up like a valve when...

The floor drain that it services seems to be at the correct level every time i check it, so i think it is actually functioning correctly. Its just loud and obnoxious. And i cant but think that the noise might be a sign that something is wrong with it and failure is immanent.

Pretty sure there is a check valve between our building and the city. I know we are required to have an expansion tank. I would think the shut off would not affect static pressure? I'll check out the manual for the unit and see about adjusting things. Thanks!

OK, i'll see if i can correlate the noise to other water use. I know it did it twice around when i took the picture, and i was the only one in the building. I wasn't using water, so i'm not sure what would have triggered it. The valve is in the wall between 2 urinals in the men's room. The...

Hi, i was wondering if anyone has ever heard a trap primer like the one pictured make a loud squawking noise. It sounds like some one is blowing on a kazoo. The noise is short, only lasts a second or so. The office has started calling it the phantom duck. Anyway, its the only thing in the...

I found that it was easier to work with if i kept it in the house rather than the cold garage.

Sounds good, thanks! One more quick question, is there any functional difference between these 2? It would be nice to have one this week so i can replace everything this weekend.

Yeah, its a crawl space. So i don't think i'll have enough clearance for the configuration in #11, would this work instead? And does the angle of the combos matter? Or can i set them on their backs at a 45 towards the toilets? Thanks!

At the ground meaning the one outside the foundation about 20' down the way? Is there any reason not to tie the lav into the end like it is now then? Or does that then make it a wet vent for toilet #2? Would this work?

So something like this? Both Toilet connections need to be horizontal? or, less than 45 i assume? Would a clean-out at the end (so a combo instead of a 90) be a good idea?
