Seeking DIY advice. I am installing a Moen Exactemp Thermostatic Valve (S3371) , with (3) volume controls (S3306) for a tub port, rain shower and regular shower. I mapped out all the copper piping for the water supply and wanted to see if I could get advice on whether I am doing something...

No inspection. Our whole 6 unit condo was built without a permit (yeah, another story)....why start now. I am trying to do it right, hence my post. Do you think the plan I have laid out above using one continuous drainline, not double trapping, etc. is worthy?

Thanks for the feedback. I am in Chicago. Cook County. I will install the second vanity, which will have its own Pee Trap. Connect that 1.5" drain line to the first vanity with the Wye Tee as pictured by Wayne. Then continue that same drain line and connect to the main. This creates one...

One of these guys......

Thanks for the advice so far. I decided to remove all the water lines and basically start over. If you guys can help me redesign from here that would be great. See revised picture. I don't have much room left on the main drain stack, or within the wall, to run separate lines, so I wanted to...

Ahh...maybe I can install a tee off the original single sink drain and connect that to the new second sink. Is this what you meant by one continuous drain? If I do that, do I need to vent in between the tee and the second vanity? I will have to rework all the water lines, but that's easier...

I realize a double trap is to be avoided, but I am out of room in my wall to run anything except what I have done. I thought that if I vented in between the traps this would be ok. Not ideal, but ok. Please explain further if possible.

Adding a waste line and water lines to a second vanity sink. Do I need to vent the waste line, or is the existing setup ok. Let me know what else you see wrong. Thanks,

Titan Pro Triangle Toilet (Corner Toilet) I am trying to figure out if this toilet will fit my rough in. The diagram below has me confused though. I can understand that the rough in is 12" from finished wall to center of outlet. But what is confusing me is what appears to be offset bolt...

Set flange on the tile or flush with the tile? Licensed plumber just told me to install it flush?! I know you guys told me to install it on TOP of the tile. What gives?

I live on the first floor condo with two units above me. We came home to a mess in our sink. It could not have been anything we did - nothing was left running. So, I surmise we have an issue with drainage from the units above us. I looked under the sink, and noticed that the vent pipes...

Thanks for the help, advice, experience and understanding. I knew I was too close to the toilet when I took the picture - would have taken me 10 minutes to move prior to my slc pour. Oh well - live an learn. Gonna use a waxless ring and try and convince the wife we need to upgrade the throne.

My ejector pit pump is not working properly. The pumping function works fine, but there appears to be a problem with the flow control device that was once installed. Can someone look a these pictures and tell me what this device is and if I need it?. It's the pit closest in the picture witht...

Thanks on the toilet advice. I will see if the wife wants to spring for a toto. Do any of the big boxes carry Toto? Regarding the flange, I was thinking that two screws would be fine. I am going to get a live wire detector as well and see if I can sneak in a couple more screws. I have...

The distance between my newly tiled wall and the center of the flange is going to be 11 - to 11.5" What size toilet should I shop for? I also have a flange screw/anchoring question. I screwed up and installed my radiant heat wires a bit too close to my flange for comfort. I will be able...
