    Shower Drain P-trap Depth?

    Resolution Well, I tried measuring the water depth in the P-trap, and nothing I did (slowly pouring water down the drain versus running the shower) seemed to make a difference. The P-trap was staying full regardless. So then I got nervous that maybe I had done something to mess up the main...

    Basic Soldering - Shower Installation

    Whenever soldering near a shower valve is unavoidable, I use a cold wet rag draped over the valve and pipe to keep it cool.

    Shower Drain P-trap Depth?

    Good thinking, HJ. That should tell me if velocity through the riser is my issue. I'll check it out. Thanks

    Shower Drain P-trap Depth?

    Stinky Shower Drain Ok, so I got my bathroom all finished up. But if the shower goes unused for a few days, the house begins to smell funky and it seems to be worse in the shower stall. I'm pretty confident that my new P-trap isn't leaking. The old P-trap was ~3'-6" deep, so I set the...

    Shower Drain P-trap Depth?

    This may belong in the shower/bath forum. Feel free to move it if necessary. I'm remodeling my master bath. As part of this bath redo, the shower will be expanded. The old shower floor is recessed in the slab. So in order to change the shower footprint, I'll have to bring the recess up to...
