Just curious how you know I have 1-1/8 inch pipe?

So, it appears the rubber ends are reversible? I'm confused--are you recommending I flip them to look like the second picture? Currently, mine looks like the first picture (although the two worms are side-by-side, rather than one near the green body and one at the end of the black rubber opening.

In other words, just like the picture in post #11, right?

By 'side-by-side,' I mean two worms touching each other (like I have currently). A third would go at the very top (as seen in post #11).

So the two worms side-by-side, and not with one near the opening? Or maybe a THIRD worm could help??

Two questions: 1) Putting a clamp 'on the opposite side of the other,' are you saying to make it look like the picture that you attached? One clamp on the very end of the black rubber, and one clamp nearest to the green body? 2) By cocked, do you mean how I have the tightening screws to the...

Update: The new sump pump has arrived, and I thought I had everything set up. Threw some water in the sump...but unfortunately, I have leaking! It appears to be coming from the connection at the top of the check valve. I did not use any pipe cement on the check valve connections; I simply...

Should I cut just below that first elbow? Also, please see my check valve question above. Thanks a bunch!

Here are pics of the old dead pump. Is it OK to use the Oatey all-purpose purple primer and cement, or is their rain-r-shine recommended?

The weep hole, angled downward, right?

Greetings! You guys were so helpful about a year ago when I was re-plumbing a bathroom sink under a new vanity. Now I am trying my hand at a sump pump replacement. The old one died after about 7 years. After some research, I am going with a Zoeller M63. I considered Liberty Pumps, as well...

I discovered this crack (and resulting leak) at the top cap of this pipe under a valve cover this afternoon. Not exactly sure what it is, but I do believe it is the only one like it in my system. Should I be able to fix myself without calling my irrigation company? Thanks in advance! Ryan

This is how it looks. It's working like a champ!

I had to have a plumbing company come out and remove. And they had quite the struggle with it, too! They had to remove it in pieces. I believe too much moisture had been getting inside the faucet handle, as I had recently (4 or 5 months ago) installed a new shower head that had a wider spray...

Success! No leaks. Thanks for all the pointers and patience!

Is that 2% upward toward the waste hole in the wall, or 2% downward to the hole?

OK, I'm feeling this is it! Could I get some confirmation from the experts? I changed the 45 to a 90, and went from a 1-1/4 p-trap to a 1-1/2. Thanks Reach4! I really like how the piece that fits into the 90 stays parallel to the ground at just the right height.

I have a Ferguson plumbing supply store very close to me. https://www.ferguson.com Would they have these?

Is such a screw-on brass 45 something that can be found at Lowe's?

Well...this is the current status tonight. Everything connected below, but causing the tailpiece to not be perpendicular (see the crooked drain above the sink). The extension is as high as it can go. What to do?
