Can a S-style shower arm be used to lower the shower head or is it only used to raise the head ?

Hello! I’m renovating my second floor bathroom. I want to reconnect to an existing threaded, 2-inch copper pipe that served the old shower floor drain. As you can see from the picture, the pipe extends about one inch above the 1/2 hardibacker subfloor. The plan is to build up a mortar bed...

American Standard has a shower kit that fits a 48" space that comes as a curved pan and a three panel wall set. I was helping my sister install one in a rental she has, replacing the aged and leaking shower that come with the modular home. Pretty crazy stuff you find in old modulars. The...

I am in the process of building a home and just installed new delta shower mixers. One shower is near my pressure tank and has two shower heads on opposite walls.

Hello, we are looking to update an old Delta shower handle in our new home. Most likely from late 1980s. It is in good working condition but would like to cosmetically update the look without cutting into the wall. Turns right to left with screws at the 5 & 7. Can anyone identify which series...

Hello all, New to the forum and embarking on an old basement shower remodel. I want to put in a Kerdi drain but can someone please let me what type of drain this is and how I can install a Kerdi drain with it? Or does it need to be taken out? Believe it's in a mortar shower floor. Any advice...

I have a shower floor in which the tile was starting to buckle / leak. The pan was a mess of concrete and clay and now I'm left with hot mop, which I suspect was put in back in the 40's when the house was built. The drain pipe is cast iron, but seems embedded in the hot mop. Any suggestions...

Hi. Wondering if you all could offer suggestions as to how to plumb my shower/tub combo. I have the Kohler 2971-k-na 3/4" inlet and outlet mixing valve. I'll be bringing up 1" PEX to the 2nd floor the entire way from the 3/4" copper main. This unit does not have a built in diverter and has...

Hi all - Thanks for your insights previously and taking a look at this post. I have read several other, similar posts that deal with this issue, but thought it would be beneficial to share my particular situation with a photo. Appreciate any thoughts you have or your experience if you have a...

Greetings, I want to remove a prefab neo-angle shower and build a tile shower. The problem is I am confused about how to approach the floor tiling because the sub-floor is concrete and every tutorials and articles I have read describe the process assuming a wooden subfloor. So far the below...

Alright, so I'm far from a wiz with this stuff, but the shower drain had grown to a crawl I removed the plastic cover and the dirt and crud from it, as it seemed like this was blocking drainage. When that was not the case I plunged the drain and pulled out a bunch of hairballs, which I then...

I'm rebuilding my shower and ran into an issue that I'm not quite sure how to solve. After pulling the old shower out, we discovered the whole house needed to be repiped. Yay home ownership?... We had the repipe done by a local company, and now with that done, I've resumed plans to rebuild the...

I have been lurking for a while and scouring the Interweb for an answer to what I think is an interesting question. (don't laugh at my drawing, we all need a way to think about problems) I am doing some work in the master bath located on the first floor of our house (Ranch with unfinished...

Hello, This is probably a stupid question but here goes nothing. I am getting a tankless water heater installed and after that I am going to be re-plumbing my house using a pex homerun & manifold. My issue is I would like to have a 3/4 inch PEX supply to the master bath (2 showerheads at 2.5...

I just had some tenants move out and I noticed the shower / tub Moen faucet was leaking. Little more than a drip. Since I don't live there I have no idea how long it's been leaking. I could ask.....but they did not leave on good terms. I just assumed it was the 1222 cartridge. We have hard...

Had "Accord Smooth" tub & shower by Sterling Kohler installed. The long side wall of the shower is on an exterior wall. Previous shower was installed on regular bare drywall so I had them take that all out. Sterling insists the unit has to be installed direct to the studs; I understand part of...
