    Installing shower head far from valve

    Hi all - I want to install my Moen 2590 shower valve on the back wall of my shower and my shower head on the front wall of the shower (7' away). There's no tub spout; this is a shower only. I'm guessing that Moen's precise instructions regarding placement distances are related to backpressure...

    Vanity vent question

    Curbless Shower Question

    Hi all - I've started a bathroom remodel. Demo is done. I've taken out a sunken jacuzzi tub and I want to replace it with a curbless shower. I'm off to a good (lucky?) start: the drain for the tub was already 2" and the recess in the poured concrete slab for the old tub was generously sized...

    Options for installing tub/shower valves

    After busting up the slab and having the tub and toilet drains reversed, I've been buying my vanity and tub fittings for this bathroom remodel. At midnight last night as I'm pulling the trigger on an order for tub/shower valves, spout, etc., I found a problem that I could kick myself for not...

    hydraulics 101

    Attached is a simplified drawing of how the water is supplied to the two ends of my house. Heavy black line is supply (PVC) from the meter. That ties into two 1/2" copper pipes (represented by the green line). One 1/2" copper supplies cold water to the east end of the house. The second 1/2"...

    relocating toilet and shower (tub) drain

    Hi all - hopefully starting a new thread is the right protocol here. Short history: I posted a question April 2013 about switching the location of a toilet and shower that are on a concrete slab (https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/relocating-toilet-shower-on-concrete-slab.51279/)...

    Hi - I'm at the planning stage on remodeling two back-to-back bathrooms. In the small "south" bathroom, I want to put a tub in where the toilet is currently located (marked "A") and move the toilet to where the shower currently is ("B"). Below is a closeup of the plumbing plans for this space...

    electrical solution or an exorcism?

    I don't really believe my house is possessed, but I've got an electrical problem that has me totally stumped. Been living in this 1979 house for two years. Out of the blue, at about 12:30am a couple of weeks ago, the courtyard lights go on by themselves. (It wakes me up and I'm a little...

    advice on sealing/plugging holes in PVC pipe

    This is pretty random, but I'm thinking my best advice on working with PVC pipe will be in this forum. I bought a house with flat roof that has roof drains that feed 3" PVC pipes that run down through interior walls in the house into the slab and then out into the yard. I've had a leak problem...
