    Major Tub Drain Removal Issues

    Thank you for the replies. If you look closely in the two cuts I just started grazing the outer ABS threads. The metal threads on the flange are still intact. I tried with a large screwdriver and a small pry bar to pry the cut pieces but they won't budge. Should I saw deeper? I am afraid if I...

    New lav pop-up drain installation leak. Sink leak

    I just installed a new vanity, Moen faucet and P-trap. I have a very small leak at the bottom of the sink where the tapered rubber gasket meets the bottom of the sink. The bottom of the ceramic is not perfectly round and has a little imperfection which is causing the rubber seal not to stop...

    Thick wax ring question

    I am thinking on using a single thick wax ring to install a Toto eco ultramax toilet. My question is should I use a single thick wax ring with a horn or not. I heard that just using a single wax ring with a horn may cause issues later on. I attached a picture of the flange for reference. Any...

    Toto Eco Ultramax installation

    Thank you for the quick response Terry I have one final question. If I use just a single thicker ring I presume I would want to use a ring with no horn because I have heard of problems with using just a single wax ring with a horn. Thank you again for all of your professional advice.

    Toto Eco Ultramax installation

    Hello I'm going to be installing a new Toto Eco Ultramax one piece toilet. I was able to remove the old toilet fine but I had a few questions since this will be my 1st installation ever. I was really confused about what type of seal to use. Wax versus wax less. I was really afraid that I...

    New Vanity Install Question

    I got a piece of scrap wood and used it as a template to drill holes for the existing valves. If I'm just a 16th of an inch off for the half-inch copper and the cover plate won't cover properly. Obviously it's because of the large one and a half inch hole for half-inch copper. Once I get this...

    New Vanity Install Question

    I have one final question that might help me determine which way to go. If I decide to put on the compression fitting shut-off valves what would happen if say 10 years from now they would possibly leak. Could I just take it off and replace it with a new valve or would I have to remove more 1/2 "...

    New Vanity Install Question

    Hello all, I am installing a new vanity and have to drill new holes in the rear of the vanity. Should I keep the old Brasscraft soldered shut off valves and just drill larger holes or should I cut them out and install new Brasscraft compression fitting 1/4 turn valves? Attached is a picture to...

    Toilet Flange Question

    I'm looking to replace our Old toilet with a new Toto ultramax. I just took off the old toilet and the flange is a little rusted. The metal still has its integrity and is not rusted through it just looks like it's superficial on the outside. There is no water damage to the subfloor. Could I...
