    Need hindsight for serviceability when installing a pot filler.

    Loctite on the fixture side? How does that work with Teflon? That’s a great idea. I also thought of it but I wasn’t sure if it would be counter intuitive with sealing the leak. Also, is it safe for a pot filler? I don’t ever drink tap water but I will be using it for boiling tea/soup.

    Need hindsight for serviceability when installing a pot filler.

    Perfect, funny because it ended up leaking and I had to pull everything out. I did not add enough Teflon.

    Need hindsight for serviceability when installing a pot filler.

    I installed a new pot filler and picked up a 1/2 brass extension to clear the backsplash. Now thinking about it, I needed a pipe wrench to secure the extension onto the pot filler and then into the drop in 90. The extension is round so it needed a pipe wrench to tighten. They did not sell any...

    Replacing cast iron with ABS, no hub coupling or donut?

    That’s exactly what I used to measure the pipes. Although the battery ran out and I rounded up a bit. Should I find a cast to ABS coupling at 60mm instead of attempting to stretch it over?

    Replacing cast iron with ABS, no hub coupling or donut?

    Just flawlessly cut the galvanized pipe that connected to the cast iron pipe. The galvanized OD measures at 50mm and the cast iron OD measures at 60mm. The plumbing supply store says I would be okay with just a 2" (50mm) shielded no hub for both pipes. Would you guys agree with the plumbing...

    Replacing cast iron with ABS, no hub coupling or donut?

    Hey Terry! Thanks for the reply. I discovered a post where you also mentioned this but can you follow up with a benefit over a no hub coupler? Is it just preference? After a few days of researching on here I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s more tedious to run the donut due to cutting the...

    Replacing cast iron with ABS, no hub coupling or donut?

    Hello, long time lurker and first time poster. I’m installing a new vanity and the drain sits too low. I have an option of cutting a fairly large hole in the cabinet (particle board) to clear the p-trap but I would like to weigh out my options. An s-trap is against code here in California. I...
