    Freestanding bathtub not flat on bottom

    We are in the process of installing a DXV Freestanding bathtub. The instructions say to apply a 3/8" bead of Liquid Nails to the bottom of the tub to adhere it to the floor. The tub is not yet glued down. It feels a little rocky. The floor is flat but if I push down on one side, the other side...

    We are installing a free standing tub. The overflow is in a cavity of the tub behind an access panel. The angle of the wall of the tub causes the overflow to not be vertical. This causes the trap arm to slope upwards. See the attached diagram. I see a couple options: 1. Place a couple 22.5...

    Decoupling Membrane Under Bathtub

    I intend on using a decoupling membrane (eg Schluter or similar) for the tile floor in a small bathroom and thought about running under the bathtub. Although not conventional, is there any reason NOT to put the uncoupling membrane across the entire floor, specifically under the bath tub? To...

    Water Draining Around Bathtub Flange

    I've got water leaking around the bathtub flange in my seldom used bathroom. I confirmed this by closing the drain, running an oz of water, putting some dust particles into the water, and watching where it sucked up to as the water drained out. It sucked up to the outside edge of the flange -...

    Question on shimming bathtub flange

    I just put in an alcove bathtub and I am ready to shim and screw the flange into the studs. However, the front of the tub has about an inch gap between flange and studs. I can put about two shims between the gap. Should I use something else, or is double-shimming okay? Also, what size screws...

    Will reducing drop from wall valve to tub spout be an issue?

    The printed instructions from Delta says 8-18" between a faucet valve and the tub spout when using a shower head and spout diverter. Can I shrink this distance to my liking since I've capped off the shower port on my faucet valve? (i.e. tub only, no shower). I've mocked things up so that my...

    Venting a basement bathtub

    The last element to plumb in my basement bath/laundry remodel is the bathtub drain. Like pretty much everything else, it was done poorly (or outright incorrectly!) when the house was built. The photo shows the plumbing that I’ve done in the hole that was already there. It wasn’t vented...
