    Tub flange/shoe standardization

    Thanks Jeff, Just to clarify, I thought the bushing was 1 1/2 and without it was 1 3/8? If I do replace the tee and lower it I was concerned doing that would tilt the shoe flange assembly as well. That is unwarranted? If I tighten the flange snug then there is enough play to lower the tee...

    Tub flange/shoe standardization

    Helloes, A neighbor has water leaking around his tub drain. I am unable to remove the flange, the shoe is galvanized steel i believe. I bought a stopper/flange from the Borg that is for 1 3/8" shoes with a threaded bushing for 1 1\2" ones. I was planning to cut out the old flange by any...

This is the only diagram i could find, it's for the...

    The most insane bike ride down a mountain

    Epic. Looks like the Red Bull Rampage but with trees. I wonder how they decided which trees to put those red pads on.

    Shower valve/drop ear depth problem

    Ello, I am installing one of those waterfall showers for someone. When i install the valve at the prescribed depth and run the pipe vertically for the drop ear the depth of the ear is too far recessed based on what i can tell from the Chinglish instructions. If i tilt the pipe slightly...
