They make very nice adapters from rectangular downspout to 4" drain. Lots of nifty stuff at big box stores.

Can you hear the pump running ?I

The low dust stuff. Guess it's USG. (from homedepot) I'm on my 4th pail in 18 months or so. It keeps well and sands well. I usually spray inside the bucket with water when I get a glob out. Current bucket has been going since early last fall.

If you have a 2x4 wall and half inch drywall on each side, the part of the jamb between the walls will be 4 1/2 wide. If you have 2x3 walls, the 4 x 24 threshold will be fine

The marble thresholds I've seen come with different profiles. Meaning more or less thick and different angles towards the floor on each side. Some even have different angles on each side. So you need to decide what thickness and angle is the best compromise between meeting each floor height...

I read those posts about not using the inside fit but then I wanted a no wax type seal and the Fernco type rubber seal only fits inside the pipe not a fitting. For some other reasons, I wanted that seal and used an inside fit flange which in that case has no exposed edge.

Why don't you put up strapping instead ?

Between the tub trap and the drain. Vents are to prevent siphoning of the traps. A 2" line can run 8' before it needs to be vented.

Two 45s instead of the 2 90s might be an improvement. I'm not a plumber so only a guess.

Thanks, Wayne. I suspected that. Yes, it's next to a wall and an outside wall. I have a vertical dry vent ( 1.5") right there in the interior wall but it would need to go about 20" horizontal under the floor (thru a joist) to reach the drain line. I thought about sending the drain line thru the...

I've been trying to figure this out for more than a year. The W/D and tub are on one long wall of the bath. I have finally figured out the other side of the room which is over the main drain line. The joists are 2x10" so can't really drill holes because the slope would take me out of the allowed...

I am not a plumber but I just went thru something similar where I needed to use a 3/4" thick foam/plastic part from one brand of no-wax-ring to ensure that the (link below) no wax ring would stay stuck where it belongs. Take a look at the bottom of the toilet you intend to use to see how much...

Another forum I frequent blocked all chinese IP addresses. Another forum with this same spammer has made it that all new member posts must be reviewed (by an admin) before it posts.

There are lots of different types and sizes of plastic pipe clamps. Many have just one nail/screw attachment. They come made to hold the pipe off the wall different amounts. I'd be looking for a 1" or 1 1/4" pipe clamp to go right around the insulation. They cost more...

I am not a plumber but I think that a BTU is a BTU and a different way to heat the water is going to use the same amount of electricity. You might gain a small savings by using a tempering valve so some of the return water went right back out again but still... a BTU is a BTU

The house I'm repairing was built in 1990. I have thrown out the pink toilet and shower but made a lot of effort to save the matching blue toilet and tub. Eljer . This is the original bath. I moved that giant tub across the hall and built a new bath so I could have a place to connect the vent...

I was ABsolutely sure I saw 60 degree yesterday. Thought it was strange. Made a special stop to check today and you all are right.... Guess it was just my dyslexia fooling with me. Sorry.

No, it was 3/4inch copper. I was buying 90s.

I saw 60 degree at Home Depot today.

Sorry you're not feeling A1 and it comes at an inconvienient time ! Worldometer says 83 million cases of the virus in the US. Population 330 million so there is a way to go to half.
