    Doesnt look distorted, though I see what you mean. Could smoothing the pipe with emory cloth help? Or some kind of lube or sealant? teflon tape? Or does someone make oversize o rings? Cant replace copper pipe stub without busting brand new tile...

    Moen tub spout leaks?

    Hi I'm installing a new Moen Kingsley diverter tub spout and it leaks out the back. Allen screw was snugged enough to cut into the pipe. I checked the o rings and they look ok. Do I need some sort of sealant or lubricant here? Will tightening the allen screw a lot help? I am worried it will...

    Toto Carusoe tank leak

    Thanks I checked the porcelain and reinstalled, but there is still a very slight drip down the threads when I set it out to test it. This is a fluidmaster 2" valve and gasket on a two-year old Toto Carusoe. The porcelain is clean, no crackis. Is there a better gasket to try?

    Toto Carusoe tank leak

    My toto is leaking at the same place - down the big threads of the flush valve base. Is the thin rubber gasket and the big nut on the valve base supposed to make it watertight alone? If so, just snug the nut? Or would plumbers putty help? Or, does the tank-to-bowl donut really seal the threads?

    classic toilet flange question?

    Not sure if I can raise it that high without tilting it. So try C-shaped spacers under the flange? Is plywood, CBU or plastic spacers best? thanks?

    Shower handle sticking out too far

    I doubt you could just cut it off shorter. There are some plastic inserts that go in the shaft. The solution seems to be either resetting the valve back in the wall or using that Moen part 162 escutcheon extension.

    Shower handle sticking out too far

    Its called an Escutcheon Extension, Moen part 162. None of the suppliers around here are familiar with it and I have only seen it on line and mentioned in this thread. http://www.faucet-warehouse.com/Moen/part/oil-rubbed-bronze/162orb Anybody seen one? For $81 bucks for the ORB version, it...

    Shower handle sticking out too far

    I seem to have this same problem of too much handle shaft showing when I trial fit. I have not tiled yet, but I cant move the valve back due to obstructions. Would a double layer of 1/2" hardibacker work? Has anybody tried those Moen escutcheon extender rings, and how do they look and work?
