I have a standard 30x60 fiberglass tub and I originally was going to do a 32" width base but decided to go with a 34" which will now bring the base out to a 1/2" from the end of the drywall that has a metal corner bead. Will this pose an issue for the install in any way? Should I just keep it...

Hello, I have a tub drain going into ABS and the flange top and cross bars are gone. I have already made two cuts with a hack saw as seen in the picture and it will not come out in pieces like I had expected. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I just installed a new vanity, Moen faucet and P-trap. I have a very small leak at the bottom of the sink where the tapered rubber gasket meets the bottom of the sink. The bottom of the ceramic is not perfectly round and has a little imperfection which is causing the rubber seal not to stop...

I am thinking on using a single thick wax ring to install a Toto eco ultramax toilet. My question is should I use a single thick wax ring with a horn or not. I heard that just using a single wax ring with a horn may cause issues later on. I attached a picture of the flange for reference. Any...

Hello I'm going to be installing a new Toto Eco Ultramax one piece toilet. I was able to remove the old toilet fine but I had a few questions since this will be my 1st installation ever. I was really confused about what type of seal to use. Wax versus wax less. I was really afraid that I...

Hello all, I am installing a new vanity and have to drill new holes in the rear of the vanity. Should I keep the old Brasscraft soldered shut off valves and just drill larger holes or should I cut them out and install new Brasscraft compression fitting 1/4 turn valves? Attached is a picture to...

I'm looking to replace our Old toilet with a new Toto ultramax. I just took off the old toilet and the flange is a little rusted. The metal still has its integrity and is not rusted through it just looks like it's superficial on the outside. There is no water damage to the subfloor. Could I...

Hello all, Can you adjust the water level on the Toto TSU51A fill valve or is it preset with no adjustment? Thank you for all the information.

I ordered a Toto ultramax model MS853113S which was 1.6 GPF. What I received was an Eco ultramax model MS853113E which is 1.28 GPF. I have two questions. Should I keep this model or insist on getting the 1.6 GPF? Second, what is the actual difference between the two toilets. Is the tank size the...

I have an old style IPS watertite single handle washer shut-off valve that needs replacement. As you can see in the pictures this type does not have the flat head screws on the top to remove like the newer types. What is the proper technique to remove this for replacement? Will I have to cut the...

I had a water heater replaced about 6 months ago and now one of the unions is leaking. I know there are two pieces (threaded pipe adapter / union nut) that can be tightened. The question is which one or both and what direction(s)... Is this something I can try to resolve or should I call the...

Hello all, I have a leak in my main drain stack at the 3 " ABS pipe joint that is right between the basement and the first floor (subfloor). The leak is on the backside against the drywall (firewall) and on the other side is our neighbors since we live in a 1/2 double (twin) home. I have a few...

Hello all, I have a York heat pump that is 16 years old. I have a very intermittent problem with the indoor air handler blower. Every now and then the blower will remain on indefinitely even after the outside compressor has shut off. In normal operation, once the outside shuts off the indoor...

Hello all, I wanted to know if it would be ok to cut the subfloor as marked in the red area. I have attached a picture to better illustrate. The picture was taken from the basement and is the main drain pipe which also goes straight up and attaches directly to the vent stack. I need to get...
