    Back to the wall toilet, in wall tank but floor, not wall mounted

    When I did this installation was over 20yrs ago, but the parts are still available from Duravit.. provided that the toilet you're installing has the same diameter connection in the back.

    Delta faucets 1700 series diverter

    I wonder if you can shoot low pressure air back through the shower head with the main shower cartridge removed to blow whatever debris back?

    how does Rinnai Tankless recirc work in no-return mode?

    I've never set one up like that. Perhaps others can chime in on this.

    Need Threads Cut on Kingston Brass Drain Tube : 1-1/2" by 26 tpi

    Its pretty easy to polish brass. I just recently had to turn a polished brass into tarnished brass and I kept on ending up with polished again by over working it.

    Broken screw in shower drain flange

    you're going to try 2 things. 1st the extracter which is going to fail. then drill and tap it. But first find a new replacement screw and drill to that size.

    3 way shower valve, thats all I need. What.....where.....???

    **side note** The shower that had the digital controls that could output 14gpm also required a $20k water heater upgrade so I could guarantee the shower could sustain hot water for a full 45 minutes. [\quote] F*** it, its only money, sign me up!! Dude didn't even blink.. He wanted what he...

    3 way shower valve, thats all I need. What.....where.....???

    I ammended my initial reply.. I did find a Delta valve and trim that I think meets your criteria for just under the 500 threshold. my market is stupid.. I just sold a job where changing the 2 shower valves doubled the price of the job from 25 to 50k... just for 2 shower valves!! Another...

    3 way shower valve, thats all I need. What.....where.....???

    Lots of brands make shower valves with a temperature control and or volume control on one handle and a separate diverter or transfer valve on another handle built into the same body. Most will do either 3 or 6 functions. A 3 function valve will operate 2 independent outputs alone or mix the 2...

    Please pay attention to whether a faucet is legal for installation in a drinking water system.

    I've read some of these reviews before while researching certain brands. We are just working on a house boat now that the homeowner went to a high end specialty designer outlet and I KNEW they would come back with something weird. Gessi brand shower valve made in italy, and according to this...

    1001.2 trap is centrally located

    Back in the 90's Seattle didn't care about grease. But they've become pretty strict on it now. 4 commercial kitchens is going to likely require a large exterior vault... I try to stay away from commercial kitchens these days, tho they used to be my specialty.

    Sillcock repair

    I've never used their hose bibs, but they pretty much just re-brand other manufactures stuff. That being said, it just takes a large enough socket or end wrench to turn it. Pliers Wrenches might be the ticket for not messing up the nut. Or if that isn't too much a concern, then a large pliers...

    Multiple vent stacks or just one?

    Your vent serving the basement can connect to your main floor venting as you described. The cross sectional area of the required building sewer still has to be met by the same cross sectional area of the total vents leaving the building. So if the kitchen vent were to have been run individually...

    Chair Carrier for Clinc Service Sink really needed?

    There is a tower in Seattle that I frequently service their Toto Neorest toilets. When they were built each owner had the option to upgrade their toilets to Neorest. The primary bathrooms however were plumbed with a more traditional bidet next to the toilet. So now a lot of these condos have...

    Vacuum breaker for tub handheld

    I'll take a closer look at those code sections. I just remember getting shot down by an inspector years ago for basically the same situation. Yeah.. and this tub is going to be undermounted below a slab. They already are making access for the motor/electrics under the tub on one end. I'm sure...
