After typing in my thread title, a few similar questions popped up (great feature of this forum, BTW). The last thread out of 5 was asking the same question I had. Someone answered the questioner by saying that this symbol is from a Delta ficture. Is this truly a symbol used by Delta? I need to...

My wife and I have to rebuild our shower and the one piece materials interest me. Does anyone have any experience with one-piece shower bases and/or solid surface materials for the walls? I see where Kohler is in this game so it would be something like what they sell or a competitor to them.

I needed to replace the umbrella style pop up drain in a half bath sink. The new unit came with what looks like two different silicone washers. When I removed the old drain it seems that the previous installer used both of these under the bowl. If they are both used under the bowl how do these...

Is there a valve with a timer that can be installed on a hot water pipe so that the valve shuts after, say, ten minutes of flow?

What is the best automatic shut off valve that you can install so that the hot water can used for, say, only 10 minutes? I'm tired of long showers being taken.

I want to install an aluminum/zinc anode in my Rheem heater. The parts lists for my heater, from the Rheem website, says that for my heater the anode is 34-3/8". Every anode I see online is much longer and I don't find them for my length. Can I simply cut a longer rod for my specific length?

Within the past 6 months I had to unclog the drain on my wife's vanity. No big deal. Typical hair blob wrapped around pop-up lever and dark slime. Fast forward to now and her sink is draining slow again. This time there is as much hair but just past the trap in the pipe that goes into the wall...

We remodeled three bathrooms 2 years ago. The first bathroom has a Gerber toilet and in the other two we put American Standard Champion (4?). In the two A/S toilets a pale orange film forms in the bottom of the bowl. Anyone else have this same issue? Again, these toilets are 2-3 years old -...

Well actually here's the deal. I remodeled our bathrooms last year. The old 1954 mudset tile floors were removed. After having removed all of the tile and mud bed my contractor laid down the Durock and then installed the tile. The problem is the floor slopes 5/16" across the 12" base of the...

I'm finishing up this bathroom remodel and my wife ordered a vanity that I wish was not as wide as it is. Could I offset the vanity to the left a few inches and still use the drain rough-in? In other words, can I elbow over and then down to the trap under the sink. I know the flex hoses can work...

We are remodeling a 50 year old bathroom. The house has cast iron piping. If I were to replace everything under the toilet (except for the cast iron pipe) with new stuff, what all needs replacing? Is it just the closet flange. How does a closet flange attach to the cast iron?

We just moved into this house of ours and I noticed a smallish drip in the basement on the pvc toilet drain pipe from the bathroom that was remodeled before the house went up for sale. It is small drip and being a DIY'er I thought it might be easier on us if I just tried to fix it myself instead...
