This is the 1st I have heard of this I have never heard of it or been in any house or Apt where it is setup like this ? Person stating it is in the same State as me - MA Why would you want a fan on exhausting warm air in the middle of the winter if you are just brushing your teeth or hair ?

Well 20-20 hind-sight I would have had the mixing valve replaced when I redid the shower But it was not leaking at the time - 2004/5 A new Moen cartridge a year later stopped a small drip (2005/6 ?) It started dripping again - off & on, now its pretty steady I do have a whole house filter to...

OK, I am planning on having a bar sink under the bar Or as we say in Mass, a "bah sink" :D It's an "L" shaped bar, 7' on the side that runs to the drain/vent area The sink will be located mayb 1-2' from that corner So a total run of maybe 9' Drain is not a problem, it can drop as much as...

Sorry - long post I don't do plumbing, not allowed here. So I have never bothered too much to learn the codes. Plumber says this is what needs to be done & he does it. I do know how to solder, replace/plumb PVC/CPVC etc. I have a 240g saltwater aquarium setup that has more complicated...

This is what I found on a search So 6" above the point where it exits the roof is OK? I also want to box this in to "hide" it somewhat as it will be viewable from the front

May the 4th be with you
