shower

I did my basement slab plumbing last winter. Continuing on the project this year and I will be doing the floor tile in the next month or so. We are on a septic tank so we had to install a sewage ejector pit. The photo here shows the routing of the shower to the left and the washer will be next...

My shower valve looks like this (pic attached). I *think* it's American Standard Colony Trim. The house was built in 1971. I have a drip at the shower head. I tried installing an inline valve just behind the showerhead (as a temporary fix just to stop the dripping sound), and that caused the...

I'm doing a bathroom renovation and my shower is pretty far (8') from my toilet and lav, so I can't wet vent them altogether. Joining them on the same horizontal drain is also difficult. So I had the idea to tie in vertically. The shower will be individually vented. I wanted to tie the two...

Can anyone tell what brand/model this is? Sorry, I only have this photo, not the cartridge itself.

Hello all. I have a house that was built in 1967 in Charlotte, NC. I believe this is the original shower/tub faucet. It is a 3 handle unit. The center diverter stem has stripped threads and is just spinning. I am trying to locate a replacement, but can’t figure out what brand or model it is. The...

hi there, i want build a cheap shower (shower cabin mode) my first idea is to use polycarbonate planks as walls, metal angles with holes for the sructure (35x35mm/1.378"X1.378") and a 70x70cm(27.5"x27.5") shower tin. this is just my idea, im open for others, first time im doing something like...

I have purchased three new Moen 1222 cartridges (one from Amazon and two from Home Depot). The barrel of each is loose and easily slips out of the cartridge shell. I am not able to put the cartridge inside the valve so that the HC tab is flush against the valve to insert the pin. It is a tight...

I'm not entirely sure how to handle the waterproofing in the seams on this slanted ceiling where Kerdi meets the drywall? Do I overlap the Kerdi band and then have to smooth out the thinset and paint over it? My contractor did the drywall, I'm finishing the shower with Kerdi, etc. What about...

Greetings! After removing my shower basin, I found this situation: black ABS, with no visible p-trap. I dug it down to where it looks like the plastic is coupled to the original line with a rubber compression fitting. I know I can endoscope or just dig down further to confirm the presence of a...

Just had a completely new sewer line installed made of PVC. I can now hear a sound coming from my shower drain. Not sure it’s flowing water, it’s a little like the sound of a seashell when you put it up to your ear. This is present even when there’s no water flowing or draining. I’ve checked all...

Can the vent and the shower pipe tie in downstream of the toilet. Meaning the highest point of my sewer line would start at the toilet

Hi can anyone help identify which cartridge i need for my leaking Grohe shower. Please see the attached pictures of the shower also with the knob removed. i appreciate any help...............thanks.

Looking to fix a dripping shower head because if a bad shower stem/seat. Need help finding replacents for this but can’t find any information on what brand these are.

My wife and I have been remodeling our 1963 house for the last 25 years and we have finally gotten around to our bathroom. Yeah, we are a little slow. It's single level with cast iron horizontal line under a far too thin concrete slab that then transitions to a clay pipe lateral once it clears...

The home owner strikes again... I told my wife id make her a second bathroom before first developing the requisite skills. Its gone alright so far but i am absolutely losing my mind over trying to install this alcove shower/bath. I bought this tub kit...

I am roughing in my master bathroom shower. I have two shower heads off a diverter valve and posi temp valve. The supply line is 1/2 inch off 3/4. The issue is that the flow on one of the heads is about a 1/4 less than the other. One of the shower heads is 2.5 ft from the diverter and the...

All i am looking to plumb in 2 shower heads of a Moen 2510 valve and want to run both at the same time, From a chart i found it looks like the shower port on the valve is rated for 4GPM and i need at least 5GPM (2.5gpm per head). I have read that the tub spout side can support 5gpm+/ Can i...

Howdy, I recently took on a job doing a house renovation and the owner had already taken the shower out and all I had to work with is the 2” threaded steel pipe with no floor around it. My question is What may be needed to put a kholer cast iron tub back in the same spot the shower was? The...

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...

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!
