Correction Right, the stems and trim. Actually found out today it is a Kohler valve that just looked similar to the AS valve. House built in the 1950's so had to order them from a local hardware store. I would like to be able to just go online and order somewhere but haven't found a good...

Does anyone know of a good place to find replacement shower/tub valves online? I have used ********solutions.com in past but can't seem to find these suckers anywhere. Specifically I am looking for American Standard Colonial replacements. Thanks.

Problem solved Well, decided to get the plumber in on this one and he went up under the house and replaced both tub drain waste in 2hrs for $375. Wasn't too excited about having to do that at first but then he said one tub drain had been leaking so good thing I did change them. So bye bye to...

I got a 1950's tub with a screw in overflow plate instead of using bolts. I have never seen one of these and unable to find one anywhere to replace it. Anyone run into this and got any suggestions?

Something I noticed too when I was changing the diverter before was that when I looked to check for the seat there was just a recessed hole in the back of the valve housing, which puzzled me. :confused: The valves did not appear to have ever been pulled out before I changed them. Is that...

I have a shower diverter valve that pours water out the tub spout when the shower is engaged. So I pulled out the diverter valve to replace the all the washers/o rings but their does not appear to be a removeable seat. Also the washer did not appear to be damaged and the valve appears to be ok...

I am remodeling the kitchen area. I want to combine two 1.5" drains (one going to the kitchen and one to the bath lav) and run one 2" drain horizontally to the main stack, which is 3". Will a 2" line be able to handle both of these ok?

I am installing a washer in a new location and PVC drain. It is fairly close to the 2" copper drain line for the bathroom and kitchen sinks. Will the 2" line be able to handle the bathroom and kitchen sinks and the washer? If so, would a Fernco Tee be the easiest way to connect to the copper...
