    Offset p-trap, Hansgrohe fixture, Ikea Sink -- Questions

    sorry - I should have been clearer about that. I took the drain assembly extension off to try and show the offset. The issue is getting the drain extension into the p trap. The p trap is about an inch short from being able to hook up to the drain extension - even with swiveling and adjusting.

    Offset p-trap, Hansgrohe fixture, Ikea Sink -- Questions

    Thanks, Terry. I thought I had enough play to swivel the p-trap when I tried to install it this morning. If I back out the trap arm a lot, and pull things , I can sort of force it into place, but it pulls the drain's seal and there's a leak. It's close, but it seems like the trap is a bit...

    Three Questions

    Thanks, Jim. I picked up some tinning flux this morning and was able to get the coupling attached without any leaking. I had to also use a piece of bread, because it turned out there was still some moisture in the pipe. I wasn't able to successfully attach the tub spout pipe to the valve...

    Three Questions

    Thanks, Jim. I was able to get the shutoffs on and leak free for up to 24 hours. Don't suppose you recognize that Flange? Since I made that first post, I went to remove a window casing and ended up having to take down a good 1/3 of a plaster wall (asbestos, lead, and horsehair all in one...

    Three Questions

    Hi, I'm remodeling a bathroom and began to do demo this morning. So far, it seems to be a comedy of errors or surprises. 1) after three trips to the store, I finally obtained the proper sized shutoffs for my toilet and sink supplies (3/8-3/8, 1/4 turn, threaded to compression). Now the two...
