bathtub

Hi guys, I was wanting to replace my temperature control lever in the bathtub/shower because it was leaking. The problem is, no Allen key fits in the metal lever. When turning the Allen key that seems to fit, there seems to be some ticking noise but it just doesn't move the screw. Refer to the...

Hello, I have a weird plumbing issue and hoping one of you can shed some light on it. The faucet knob in my bathtub is broken and there is no way to stop the water. So I stopped the main water into the house and called a plumber. Now I noticed that there is no water coming in any of the...

I am replacing my yellow tub with a white acrylic tub. I turned off the water to our bathrooms 2 days ago to start demo and have turned it back on whenever I'm not working on it. Today I determined I needed to raise the faucet to accommodate the taller tub. Figuring this would be a good...

I'm trying to install a Toto Diverter Toto THU4131 As when I turn to the tub i still get water come from the shower head and vice versa. Could it be anything else other than the diverter? Any way, I purchased a new toto diverter and it comes in 4 parts. The brass cylinder, a rubber plug, a...

I appreciate your advice on this freestanding bathtub rough-in done by my renovation contractor. Is this set-up correct? If not: what is wrong with it? If we used this set-up: what might be bad impact/consequences? Most important: What should be the correct and best/practical set-up? Please...

I’m installing a new 2nd floor bathroom with a freestanding tub. (There is a separate shower and toilet with its own drain.). The drain we can use is the 1 1/2” vent pipe coming from the 1st floor tub/shower combo. This exits to the roof on one end, a septic on the other. 12” wood floor but I...

Hello. Need help in identifying a bathroom faucet. This was already put in when we bought the house. It is now leaking and we have no idea how to take out the knobs. Any input helps! Thank you!

Hi, I have a midcentury square Cinderella cast iron bathtub whose overflow is like nothing I can find information about online. The brass overflow plate mount threads from the face of the tub into a female elbow pipe located behind the tub. The mount has two screw holes located 2" apart and...

I had two questions... One, should I run the PEX the same way the old galvanized steel or maybe use a manifold and run it differently? And my second question is, my bathtub currently has 1/2 inch galvanized steel, should I stick with 1/2 PEX or do you think I should run 3/4, or would I lose...

Hi, Our house was built in 2006 and I believe the bathtub is original to the house. The bathtub is upstairs. So a couple of things: We get hot water in the sinks and shower, but not bathtub Cold water in the bath tub works But as you start turning handle the hot side, the water pressure...

I discovered a small leak coming from between this connector on my tub drain (see arrows on photo). I haven't been able to determine if it's coming from both spots or just one. It only happens when a full tub is draining -- and it's not much water, maybe a tbsp every time the tub drains -- but I...

I'm getting ready to install a bathtub in my basement. The basement has already been stubbed out for a full bathroom. So I bought a tub and a drain kit and attached the drain kit to the tub. At this point I'm trying to figure out the exact location the tub will go, based on the drain. This...

My old bathtub faucet/ diverter is no longer working. I go and buy an identical one from Lowe's. I open the instructions and find 4 types of pipes shown in the directions. My type of pipe is not on there... of course. Mine protrudes a little over 3 inches and has threads close to the wall? SEE...

Hello, When the water is on the faucet functions fine, but once the diverter is pulled up to activate the shower the spout shoots out. I've tried to manually hold it in place and it still fights to come off or the water comes out of the back end. I've tried some Teflon tape on the tip of the...

I have an ongoing problem with small gnats that collect in my bathtub and sink overnight. This happens only in the summer months. Steps I have already taken: Poured very hot water mixed with salt and Dawn detergent down the drains Taped the drain shut Neither of these had any impact. Could...

Recently bought a 100+ year old house with basement. When someone takes a shower or bath, the main floor seems to get a strong sewer smell, but none in the basement. We still smell it after coming home from work in the afternoon, but very strong with a bath. The stench really comes through...

I have a weird setup in my bathtub. The tub spout is attached to the normal 1/2" copper stub, but if you grab the spout it can be moved from side to side. The copper line coming down from the mixing valve is regular 1/2" copper but it goes into some type of "swivel fitting", that allows the...

I just installed a new Moen bathtub faucet/shower combo. (Probably basic model). Replaced the galvanized piping to the faucet with PEX. Works fine, except the first 20-30 seconds after turning shower on it whistles. What do I do??
