Hi there, In the process of remodeling my house and I have a question on those LED retrofit lights/trims. I have a bunch of 5-6" cans in my house (~30-40). Currently I just have incandescent in them (no trim). By the time you buy trim and either PAR38 or CFLs bulbs the price rivals the LED...

I'm renovating my home, '56 single-story ranch ~ 1600 sqft, gutted and currently installing drywall. My plumbing supply guy turned me onto a Lochivar Knight Mod Con and Crown DWH... he figured I would need a WHN085 (69 MBH IBR). The house originally had an oil-fired boiler, domestic coil...

I'm try to figure out the layout/function of the master shower (walk-in). While I was at my local plumbing supply, the guy talked about installing a toe tester in the shower. Essentially a tub spout (though I guess they also make small "specific" spouts) with a diverter that you test the water...

I just want to verify what actually is flat venting. Below are a few models showing a basic drain, p-trap, trap arm, vent arrangement. Which are considered flat vents? First up is what I think (based on forum comments) is the preferred "method" of venting, horizontal trap arm into a sanitee...

I'm remodeling my house (single-story ranch) and now fixtures are much further away from the original main stack. The main stack is on the backside of the house, the sewer line comes up the side and around the back of the house. I want to avoid running 3" waste lines horizontally down the...

When connecting two horizontal drain lines, or a trap arm to a horizontal drain, using a wye fitting can the fitting be horizontal or does it need to be rolled up some? So can the short leg of the fitting be perfectly horizontal, does it need to be tilted up, or tilted up just to take...
