    Proper waterproofing for new Shower

    I am a contractor, and have installed tile a few times, but not a plumber. Looking for suggestions on best construction methods for a new bath, including replacing the one-piece fiberglass tub/shower with a tiled shower. I would like to build the shower pan and tile it rather than purchase...

    Help! What's this brand?

    I'm replacing a residential shower floor drain cover, and the threads for it are very slightly under 3", so regular replacements don't fit. I need to track down this manufacturer, does anyone recognize this brand/logo? Googled OIC and nothing came up!

    So we went to Walmart and purchased a new shower head for our shower, and when we got home we realized that there wasn’t even a shower arm installed in the wall, they just screwed this shower head and secured it with a wire in place. How can we install a new shower arm so we can take a shower ...

    Can I use a threaded adapter to replace an flow control piece on a tub spout to be able to connect an NPT fitting to it?

    I'm currently planning out a bathroom rebuild. One of the things I'd like to add is a better ability to bathe our dogs (GSD) indoors. The restricted flow in the hand shower heads means it takes forever to penetrate the dual coat. Outdoors this is easy; as I have a spray adapter that screws on...

    Help! Pipe problem - tub to shower conversion

    Had to pull the tub out. It was the original 1970s tub and it had many cracks, it was squishy when you stepped on it. When I pulled it out I found that 1. The drain was not connected, so all the water was just dumping under the tub and into the hole in the ground. 2. The main drain pipe was...

    Tub/Shower handle removal

    I have a Pegasus fixture that I can't get the handle off. I have removed the set screw, sprayed with lime-away, WD-40 and tapped wood wedges behind the handle to no avail. Am I missing something? I hate to force it too much and break something. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Shower and toilet on same vertical drain?

    Is it OK for the shower to be on the same vertical drain/vent line as the toilet? Seems risky, if toilet clogs. Could back up into shower. But I can't figure out any other way to vent the shower. The shower line is the 2" blue one. The toilet stack is 3". My apologies if this is a...

    Shower and toilet on same drain?

    I've read online that it's ok for the shower and toilet to be on the same vertical drain/vent pipe. Seems risky, if the toilet clogs. But I can't figure out any other way to drain/vent the shower. I've attached a file showing what I'm thinking of doing. The shower line is 2", the stack is...

    Toilet/WC above Shower?

    I'm trying to get a wall hung toilet installed in my condo but my application got rejected because as I understand it, that the wet vented drain for the WC has to be at the same elevation or lower than other wet vented plumbing group fixtures such as the shower (I assume it is to prevent risk of...

    Replacement 3 hole bath valves for 1950s home

    Hello, I'm looking for some advice on replacing my bath valves and I'm not real sure where to start. I've actually already replaced these once 16 years ago, but the local parts store that I bought the parts from no longer sells them and I didn't keep the information. I'd like to replace the...

    Shower drain not flush with pan. Possibly installed wrong?

    This drain has bothered me since we purchased our house (2020), but it’s never caused problems or been enough of a nuisance to check it out. Our shower drain does not sit flush with the lowest point in the pan so we get some pooling water around the edges. It looks to be about 3/16" higher than...

    Moen Shower Faucet flow question

    I have a Adler Moen shower faucet. I just replaced the cartridge and set the scald guard to 12 o'clock (hopefully off). We have not been getting super hot water even though the DHW is set to 140.

    Remove old shower faucet

    My shower tub is leaking, so I tried to get to the cartridge, but am stuck on how to remove the cover/housing at the cartridge. I believe it is Kohler. The photos show the center, and 2 of the cover. How do I remove the cover? It won't budge. Thanks for any comments.
