Are you saying there is no insulation in your outside wall?

I would try holding the piece marked it red with a locking pliers -- maybe curved. Then use the wrench to unscrew the brass piece. I would turn the wrench on the vertical axis and push away. That puts the rotation toward the movable jaw. Will you be able to overlap the body and the red-marked...

I think a stuck fill valve should make water go out the overflow. But I would also like to think that the overflow should be able to keep up with the incoming water flow, and the soil pipe should be able to carry away that flow. So if the fill valve fills at 3 gpm when the float is low, I would...

I was thinking that I would increase to 1 inch for the body of my manifold, but then I saw the difference in the prices for the bigger copper.. https://www.supplyhouse.com/sh/control/search/~SEARCH_STRING=reducing%20copper%20tee

How far of run were you picturing? 25 ft to get you from near the well into the basement, or 5 ft to get you from near the foundation into the basement? Also, there are pipe interior cleaning methods. But first, you will want to measure the pipe OD with your digital/vernier caliper, or a piece...

I presume there is not groundwater leaking in where the existing steel pipe enters the basement. So you are looking to prevent water from coming between the steel and the new plastic pipe. Sealing should be done at the outside part more than the inside. See...

My old 1-1/4 galvanized has 3/4 SIDR pipe run thru the old galvanized. I think it was a straight shot -- no elbow. That is probably good for over 10 gpm.

Sounds good. Now suppose you have an ABS pipe. You will attach a PVC coupling, and cement PVC pipe into the other end of the coupling. I have not found clear/consistent answers to these: 1. Use green transition cement for both joints, or just the ABS-to-PVC transition? 2. If you use green...

While green transition cement can join ABS and PVC successfully and reliably, and UPC is happy with it, oddly IPC is not. https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IPC2021P1/chapter-7-sanitary-drainage#IPC2021P1_Ch07_Sec705.16.4 There have been proposals to change IPC on this.

I would glue and screw.

Search Google and Youtube for removing brass plug from cast iron. I have not done it myself, but I have watched some Youtube videos. I am expecting to do it at some point.

We hope the plug is brass (not attracted to a magnet). Those get cut/chiseled out.

I would just fill the crack with epoxy, and then add a repair ring on top to take the stress of the closet bolts. The flange should have had screws to hold it down. You should add screws to hold the repair ring down. Which repair ring? I would choose that after knowing the relative heights of...

I think you are planning on horizontal dry vent for the shower. https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/shower-venting-sanitary-tee-laid-on-its-back.66233/ discusses whether that is allowed in Canada (not sure if that was conclusive). Adding a lavatory could let you use a horizontal wet...

Test the toilet with no wax. If it rocks, put shims into place. Lift the toilet, leaving the shims in place. Place the wax. Drop the toilet onto the wax with shims. Thin wax is no problem, if there is no rocking. Use a wax-only ring -- no plastic horn. Toilets usually clear about 5/8 inch.

I can't see what you are pointing to, but I suspect not.

You will need a sanitary tee. The reason for the 45s for the jog is to give enough space for the P-trap and trap arm. The trap will be folded back on itself. The AAV will be above the top port of the sanitary tee, and will be at least 4 inches above the trap arm. So I am not sure what you call...
