shower

Hey everyone, this is my first DIY renovation. I'm mechanically inclined (Auto tech by trade), and I pride myself on research, just so I have a general idea and am not completely ignorant to what's going on. :cool: With that being said, My home was built in 1924, I just gutted the bathroom, and...

Hello, I had a Kohler (model Rubicon) Bath/Shower Faucet installed last year during a bathroom remodel. After the install there was a constant drip from the tub spout after the faucet was shut off. I contacted Kohler and they sent me a replacement (one piece cartridge) (model GP 800881 -...

Hello Everyone! Question about some plumbing work I'm about to do. I need to move the drain for a new shower install (installing in a basement, the drain is in an opening in concrete). I'm going to cut the current p-trap out to the main drain line that runs under the concrete floor and...

Hi there! My wife and I recently bought our first detached home! We bought a Moen Trim Kit for our upstairs bathroom, however, when the plumber we hired to install it (among many other things) came to do the work, he said he could not install it because he has never seen this valve before...

I'm trying to do something nice for my dad and update his shower fixtures. I know it's a Moen kit that is currently on it and I know I have to stick with Moen. But I've never really messed with anything like this before. My question is, how do I determine which model I need to get? I have...

I recently moved and I am looking for a solution to allow me to use both shower heads in my main bathroom shower. The previous owners were apparently tall (I can't reach more than half the cupboards in the kitchen). There is a single shower arm and flange installed in the shower high on the wall...

Hey all, happy holidays. I am finishing the basement and the builder "roughed" in some stuff for a bathroom down there. Ive completed the toilet, vanity and shower water supply lines. Looking at where the shower drain is, its off center. Im not sure what to do with it or what I am really...

Hi, my question is when I start my shower I have to put it to almost 50% on the hot side. Then after 5 minutes the water gets colder (Luke warm). Then i turn the knob a little hotter, right after 5 min it gets colder again. What could be the cause of this?

Got myself into a plumbing pickle, right at the first hurdle. We have a funky smell coming out the bath drain. Despite knowing little about plumbing, I figured removing the drain cover would be a good place to start, get a better view down into the P-Trap etc. But the screw just keeps spinning...

So I have a shower pan that requires the drain to be moved from it’s current position closer towards the threshold three and a half inches but the problem is the trap will hit the water lines. I was wondering what I could do to navigate around the water lines

I need to get the knob off this shower valve so I can tighten it up. The valve itself is tight and works well, it is only the knob that is loose, but I can't see a way to remove it. There is no brand identification anywhere on it. Nor are there any screws or other fasteners visible. If I...

First off - what a great forum this is, I'm lucky to have found it. I imagine this is an easy question for some, but as I'm a DIY homeowner I want to make sure I get some advice. We're renovating a small square bathroom with a small walk in shower. There was a wall separating the side of the...

Might be able to get better help here , old cartridge dead and the ones i use to replace all get stuck on the turning and low water flow . Any help ?

Hi, I have a standard delta setup in my bath: tub spout, upon which you pull down the lip to direct water to the shower head plumbed behind the wall. I am wondering if it is possible to replace or modify the spout, so that you have the additional telephone shower head, without losing the...

I have to replace the diverter and I don't see any mfgr information Thanks for any help. Abbott

I do not know the make/manufacturer of this Thermostatic Shower Valve that is malfunctioning. It is difficult to turn, makes a scraping sound when turned, doesn't appear to regulate temperature, hot is lukewarm even when the control is at the hottest setting. I am fairly certain I need to...

I am trying to replace my shower handle and I can 't quite figure out how to remove the old handle. I have removed the lever and the escutcheon, but cannot get the rest off. I can't find any screws or anything on the handle, and I am wondering if anyone knows how to remove? Any input is appreciated!

Hi all, Thanks in advance for any help here. We are doing a bathroom remodel and I feel like everyone I talk to gives me a different answer--even employees at the same plumbing supply store. I'm hoping to arrive at some sort of consensus. Our bathroom is completely torn apart, but here is a...

I like the old push-pull valves because I can control water pressure with them, and I don't have to turn the knob through the "cold" region when turning off the water. Is it crazy to install one in my new shower? Do they even sell them anymore?

Hey Everyone, Hoping you can help me troubleshoot an issue. I just finished installing an aquatic A2 4 piece tub with surround. Unfortunately, after I already had the drywall patched up I noticed that there is some creaking when pressure is applied around the drain. Not sure how I missed that...
