Wonder if many of you out there have had problems with this setup. Last year built a house with two showers, both have Talia level handles and 29 273 rough-in valves. There are a couple of plastic parts that link the valve to the lever, the problem part being the inner one, which is a black...

Tub is a Kohler Maestro cast iron drop-in, white. It sat outside my plumber's shop for a month or so in its crate, then we moved it to the job where it was inside, uncrated, and in perfect condition--I checked it carefully (I'm the GC). We installed it by lowering with an air bag due to a tight...

A customer of mine has tentatively selected this tub. It's a cast iron tub and goes for about $850, which seems fairly low to me, although I am a GC and don't deal directly with a lot of fixture prices. Anyone have experience with this item? Is it well-finished? Hate to frame for it, rough in...

We recently did a bath remodel and the lav faucet seems to have a very slow drip (so slow it's almost not happening, but the drain stopper is wet, and there is usually a drip hanging from the aerator). This appears to be from both the hot and cold sides, which I checked by shutting off one angle...

I have a client that is interested in a precast shower pan. She saw something on the east coast while traveling there but was not able to name it. I have used Florestone terrazzo shower pans a few times but they are not readily available here in the northwest--they are made in CA and the...

We have a 150' well with a submersible pump. Occasionally the pump runs when there's no water running anywhere on the system. After much head-scratching I've come to the conclusion that there must be a check valve down inside the well, and that the pressure tank is forcing some water back thru...

I have a shop building about 40 feet from the house. When I poured the concrete I installed a Liberty sewer ejector that will handle the drain from the one bathroom. There is 2" ABS piping buried that runs from the pump to the house. I tunneled under the house foundation near the front porch...

I bought a couple of boxes of 2" and 3" C-shaped pipe straps from Keller. When I opened them they turned out to be galv steel. I'm going to be running ABS drains and am not sure that metal straps are OK on plastic pipe. The salesman I buy from is generally right on as far as what he sends out to...

Before I say anything else, let me say that I know I need to get the water tested and will do so. It's geographically inconvenient and therefore has not happened yet. Anyway, we are on a well that produces plenty of good water. However, it appears to have a fair amount of sediment in it. I...
