    Curve PEX around niche?

    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.

    Curve PEX around niche?

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

    Curve PEX around niche?

    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.

    Curve PEX around niche?

    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!

    Failing trap primer?

    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...

    Failing trap primer?

    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.

    Failing trap primer?

    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!

    Failing trap primer?

    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...

    Failing trap primer?

    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...

    Is PEX-A tubing easily straightened?

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

    Need to replace cracked toilet stack

    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.

    Need to replace cracked toilet stack

    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!

    Need to replace cracked toilet stack

    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?

    Need to replace cracked toilet stack

    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?

    Need to replace cracked toilet stack

    Yeah i am concerned about the added height. In the top right corner of first picture i posted you can see the bottom of the beam/girder that runs over the tee. Whoever installed the plumbing originally notched about 2" out of the 4x6 beam so the vent could go up to the roof through the wall...

    Need to replace cracked toilet stack

    This should do the trick, correct? With a 3" x 1.5" flush bushing and a couple of hub couplings?

    Need to replace cracked toilet stack

    Sorry, yes 2 toilets feed the tee. I am replacing WC #2 with a Toto AP wall hung to give us more space in the smaller bathroom. I was planning on removing the existing flange and making a 45 back to the wall behind WC#2.

    Need to replace cracked toilet stack

    I noticed a crack in my toilet waste line today when prepping to install a wall hung Toto. It looks like i'll need to replace the whole "stack" as everything is too close to put in a quick repair. I assume the double santee needs to become a double wye combo? Can i replace the combo wye at...

    Advise on in-wall Toto install

    I am leaning towards a Toto AP wall-hung and carrier and it will be up against an exterior 2x4 wall. I plan to butt a second 2x4 wall up against the existing so the tank is not against the siding, but i'm wondering if i should leave the drywall on the existing wall or not. I like the idea of...
