We are installing a new shower arm, and kept the Old Shower Arm plate, since it was larger and covered the original shower hole wall. However the new shower arm is smaller radius, so I see a noticeable gap in the internal hole (green box). It isn't as snug as previous. The picture quality isn't...

We see this is a common issue on quite a few posts however ours is unique: Our new install of a prefab shower pan has the drain coming dead center of a joist. Today we spent 8 hours (literally) searching for answers. We found boxing and sistering and understand them all however if you take a...

Greetings everyone. I have a house originally constructed in the 1950's in Southern California. There is a shower valve that is leaking out the stem that I want to replace. I am fairly handy and want to tackle this myself. After reviewing available replacement valves at the local Ace store I...

I'm adding a toilet and Shower to my basement and I'm unsure on the venting. My vanity is on the other side of the main drain and is straight forward. Please see the diagram I've attached. I have the Toilet venting up through the wall between the shower and toilet, and the shower emptying...

I have a Shower Diverter that keeps breaking. Last one, I had for 10 years, and it got stuck, or sprays water between the Shower head and faucet. So plumbers replaced it, 2 more in fact, and the same issue. I promise I am not pulling the shower head hard, never broke this many shower diverters...

Hello, I'm a DIY person and I'm having trouble turning off my water to my shower head. My problem started when I was cleaning the shower. I knocked the shower arm and the arm started leaking. I turn off the water and removed the threads with a nipple extractor. Replaced the shower arm and...

Hi So my tenants noticed recently that the hot water in their shower will turn ice cold after about 5-7 minutes and not really get hot again. After testing a bit I noticed the shower water would stay nice and hot for as long as we needed if the sink was also turned hot while the shower was on...

I am trying to replace an old shower valve after a remodel. It is a single handle valve. I have not been able to find any similar looking ones online. Can anyone tell me what brand this is so I can buy new parts? Also do I still need to take out the white plastic piece and other pieces before...

Our plumber installed a Tub Spout slightly rotated 10-15% degree angle to its left, like a globe. Curious if there is any reasons plumbers have any installation reasons do that, I will just rotate back myself. One time, I had a plumber install a bathroom sink 10% slanted in the xy plane, due to...

Hi, I have a toilet and a nearby shower stall in my basement. Both of them overflow occasionally. It seems to be happening once ever few weeks, seemingly during the weekends when we apparently use more water. In the most latest episode, it was Saturday evening and I flushed the basement...

I have a Shower Diverter that keeps stuck having issues, where water goes to Both the Tub Spout and the Shower Head. We have replaced two shower spouts with diverters in the last month. Is there an underlying issue which can keep causing this? The shower diverters keep having issues, regardless...

Hi all - longtime lurker but first time poster. I am redoing my bathroom and trying to set up a plan for the DWV lines for a standing shower and stackable washer-dryer, which are side by side (30" wide each, with a 5" framed wall dividing them). I am unsure how to properly lay out the vent...

Kohler K-45904 HydroRail® installation A nice way to allow height adjustments for a shower. The shower arm is replaced and 1/2" holes drilled for the mounting. I picked up a diamond bit for this. The lower attachment holes. Stuff in the box. One side in. Both side in.

We would love to convert our half bath to full by adding a shower. We have the space but no shower drain. Our unit is in high rise condo with concrete slab so no breaking of concrete allowed. We don’t mind stepping up or doing whatever it takes. Hoping there is a creative solution out there! Thanks.

Where can I find something that will allow me to attach an attachment meant for a standard sink faucet to a standard shower? I believe I need 1/2 to 15/16 female female. I know the 1/2 is right, but not positive about the 15/16. Does this just not exist? Do I need to use two adapters to achieve...

Has anyone made a DIY shower water flosser? I want something like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ES2HNI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but it has an awful lot of plastic that breaks, and people say the tips are too large. No company seems to sell a good quality one...

Hi folks, it's late now, but I'm just checking on the requirements for a shower pan membrane. As shown in the attached picture, there are screw holes along the bottom of the cement board that go through the shower pan membrane (it was very tall, about 12-14 inches). A few things: The lowest...

Hello, I had a leaking shower so I called Delta and they sent me out a new cartridge. Upon removing the old cartridge I discovered Delta sent the wrong part. I called Delta back and they are now sending the correct replacement cartridge. The cartridge I removed was broken and the plastic half...

Hello, I'm moving my toilet in my main floor half bath to make room for a shower in my first ever renovation. I'm looking for advice on if I've got the plumbing configuration correct (I live in Ontario, but wanting to make sure the basic plumbing choices I've made are sound before I ask for my...

Hello. I have recently installed a Delta R22000 Multichoice Faucet with a RP46463 multichoice 17 series cartridge which is routed to two shower heads in a walk in shower. I am having a problem with water coming out of the shower heads not getting hot. For starters, yes I have adjusted and...
