I pulled off my tup spouts to replace them but I'm having a hell of a time. The spout pipe types without threads on the end so I'm just sliding the new spout on and tightening the screw on the bottom real tight with an Allen wrench, but water leaks out the back of the spout on the shower wall...

I'm to far away from my main vent with my new bathroom. I would like to use study vents to vent the whole bathroom. Do I need one at every p trap? There will be 4 fixtures. Toilet, double vanity, bathtub, and shower.

Hi - I have a question on plumbing code - we live in California so I don't know if there are any unique requirements here. We are remodeling our kitchen and the sink has a 1 1/2" trap drain. In the plumbing of the trap drain, there are currently 2-45 deg turns between the trap and vent stack...

For securing wood fence planks, especially from pallet wood, the 16-gauge finish nails would generally be a better option. They provide more holding strength compared to the 18-gauge narrow crown staples. The 16-gauge nails, at 2" long, will offer better penetration and holding power, which is...

just answer ChatGPT said: Yes, you can use a mix of ½" and ¾" barbs on a manifold. Just make sure ¾" is used for longer runs or higher-demand fixtures, and ½" for short runs or single fixtures. Don't reduce pipe size too early in the run. Your plan to install manifolds with shutoffs, replace the...

My bathroom sink contains an s-trap, see attached picture. Is it possible to make this setup legal? Is an s-trap configuration with an Air Admittance Valve legal? Other suggestions?

Yes, the bearing on the WFW9200SQ02 is technically replaceable, even though Whirlpool only sells it as part of the rear outer tub assembly. Aftermarket bearing and seal kits are available and commonly used for this repair. It's a labor-intensive job, but if a repair tech is willing to do it, it...

I've just bought a new sink which came with double trap and waste, however the pipework and fittings are neithrr 32mm nor 40mm . The sink came from a UK website but it's obviously made in china. Anyone had this before? I can probably botch it to fit into the 40mm waste pipe going outside but...

I'm refitting my bathroom in a ground floor (concrete floor) flat. Its a house that was converted into 5 flats. Most of the work was done in a very quick and from what I can see, shoddy way. My question is, I dont have a vent stack absolutely anywhere and there is no venting outside, lucking...

Hey everyone, I’m in the process of submitting for a building permit and need some clarification on the drawings. What level of detail is typically required? Do they need to be professionally drafted, or can I submit hand-drawn plans if they’re to scale? Also, what are the key elements...

Hello. Mostly looking for a simple yes or no, from your experience. We’re refinishing our 600 sf basement and we’re thinking of adding a small half bath. It’s not overly costly but takes up a little more room than we’d like, so now we’re a bit hesitant but don’t want to regret not doing it...

Hello. I just after a little guidance on self-leveling over a recently poured concrete floor. We will be putting solid oak flooring down once it's level. The question is what do I need to do to the concrete before pouring the self-leveling mix? Is it a case of just sweeping clean and prime...

Most new homes have two 110 volt lines coming in and the phase difference between the two lines is 220v. All of my electrical equipment including air-conditioner and dryer are 110v. I know I can take the main circuit breaker cover off and check the voltage with a voltmeter. However, I am looking...
