Thanks Terry, can you give me an idea of how big the piles should be. Don't want to put down some mortar, set the tub in it then remove the tub because there is too much mortar and I have to remove some. Like it to be a one shot ordeal. Thanks!

Any help or suggestions on how much mortar under the tub? Would really appreciate some insight on this Thanks!

Thanks guys for all the info, greatly appreciated. I plan on setting the tub in mortar. The tub has a waffle type bottom so this should work well. I read in another thread how it would be almost impossible to lay down a continuous bed of mortar, fairly level and set the tub in it. Instead it...

Where the overflow attaches to the tub is angled. Would a standard off the shelf overflow kit adjust to this angle of the tub?

Thanks for the quick reply. Another question about the tub. American Standard suggest drain kit 1545.170 for the Princeton tub. It is a lift and turn drain that costs about $120. The front of the tub where the overflow goes is at an angle so I'm sure it would fit great. My questions is there...

I am installing a American Standard Princeton bathtub. I removed underlayment floor in the bathroom down to the subfloor. Unfortunately the subfloor is only 1/2" thick. Also the floor joists run the same direction (length wise) as the tub. I plan to install a 3/4 plywood underlayment. Since...

Do you know how many posts there are if you do a search on wax rings?? Me neither but there are LOTS! So I will just ask the question hoping for a quick answer. When setting the toliet do you put the two wax ring on the toilet or flange on the floor? Thanks!

Found some situations close to mine with answers but nothing quite the same. Neighbor installed a new ceramic floor and with the cement board and tile the flange was down quite a bit but two extender rings brought it right up to floor level. I siliconed between the flange and ring and between...

I have searched and searched for an answer and I must be wording my search wrong for I can't find a definitive answer. I tiled my bathroom floor and now the flnge is below floor level. I plan on adding a flange extension but with the sizes available the end result will be a little below floor...

Swanstone Shower pan I too am installing the Swanstone shower pan and was going to embed it in the recommended bed of "Quickrete" mortar mix. Since you posted this a while back and even tho no one replied to your question I assume you are done with the project. Any suggestions/tricks to...

Distance is a factor Have to agree with HJ. The trim ring (escutcheon) is huge on this Delta faucet, about the size of a garbage can cover (actually it's 7.5") so distance between the trim ring and spout is a factor. With installation of spout and valve being as close as mine was it left 1.5"...

Works fine!! Finished the job and with ony 5 inches between the valve and spout (6.5 inches if measured between the center of the valve and center of spout outlet) everything works great. No backfeed up to the showerhead. I imagine when giving measurements Delta will overstate the distance...

I am installing a Delta 1748 and the instructions say there is to be a minimum of 8" with a max of 18" between the valve and the spout nipple. I am replacing an existing setup and the holes are already in the ceamic tile for the spout and valve. Unfortunately the distance between the outlet on...
