    Quandary

    When the plumber ran the dwv for my bathroom additions, one appears to have been set at 11.5 inches from the finish wall rather than 12. I believe most two piece toilets have enough Clarence in back of the tank that this should not be an issue, but it looks like the Toto brand has a much tighter...

    Closet Flange

    I set a closet flange yesterday that is sitting proud of the finish floor by about a quarter inch. I am assuming that the extension from the bend was a little to high (I thought I cut it flush, but must have missed something). Will I need to cut it out, or do most toilets have enough room to...

    Sweating near pipe dope

    I am using Oatey Great White Pipe Joint Compound to seal the threaded connections on a shower valve, and will need to sweat an elbow very tight to this connection. Will the pipe dope handle the heat? Or will this cause problems? Thanks for any info.

    Supply line preference

    Can I get opinions on supply line preference? I have install copper a number of times, but would like opinions on PEX and CPVC. PEX appears quite a bit less expensive, and easier/faster to install, but copper seems so much more durable. And CPVC just seems cheep. I live in southeastern...

    Above the floor drain

    New guy here. I have what may be a silly question, but have not found any info, about an above the floor drain. I know that a tub with this type of drain has a few inches of clearance rather than a fraction of an inch. And I know that the drain tail (?) goes through the sill on the wall...
