I'm installing a Toto AP toilet and am working on the wall plate. Two questions: 1. The screws to attach the inner plate seem much too long to me. However the instructions don't say anything about shortening them, so I'm a bit nervous about clipping them. Can somebody confirm they should be...

For annoying reasons I need to move an ABS pipe over in a stud bay. It is in the way of where I need to put some blocking for bathroom fixtures. You can see my attempt at putting in blocking (which shows height for blocking) but I'm giving up and I just need to move the ABS pipe to the left side...

If my PRV is set to 75PSI but the pressure coming in from the street (connected to PRV input) dips to 25 PSI, will the PRV's output go up to 25PSI? If not, what will it go to? I ask because I'd like to hook up a small circulating pump temporarily to run hot water through my cold water lines...

I recently replaced the main valve to my house and reran a lot of the cold water lines. Maybe 40 joints. All sweated. Most 3/4" copper (type L) with a small amount of 1/2". To prepare for a joint, I'd cut pipe to length (with a Ridgid 101), ream it out (with a Husky pencil reamer) , clean the...

I recently replaced the main valve to my house as well as a number of other pipes. Total maybe 40 sweated 3/4" joints. All on the cold lines, not hot. I used Oatey H-20 flux. I finished the job last night. I've run faucets for maybe 45 minutes or so and taken a couple showers but the water still...

Hi - we were on vacation for 3 weeks so I powered off (via button) our S300E washlet. I came back last night and powered it back up. It has been acting up ever since then. Specifically, the valves actuating the sprayer are not working properly. For example, when I put it into cleaning mode it...

I'm modifying my framing for a Toto tank in wall toilet. We're also planning on using a washlet. We're buying the CT426CFGT40#01 kit. My question is this: My current plan is to put the toilet right next to a shower - with its center 15" from the shower curb. If I were to follow the framing...

I watched this video about installing a TOTO AP toilet. They mention using 1/2"+ plywood between the tank/carrier and the toilet at about 5:30 in the video. I haven't heard of this before. Is this actually required? If you were not planning on tiling over that area and instead just having...

I am interested in installing a tank in wall toilet in our house. It would be on an exterior wall which uses 2x4 framing and does not have sheathing - instead it just has board and batt siding. The floor joists underneath run parallel to the exterior wall. How bad of an idea is this? Things I'm...

I have 4 hose bibs on my house. I think 2 of them are connected before my pressure regulator. The other two are after pressure regulator. There are no backflow prevention devices in my house. House was built in 1959 in California. What is standard? Pre or post pressure regulator? Does it...

I am trying to replace a broken American Standard wall hung toilet from 1959. I purchased a Gerber maxell wall hung toilet (model 20-021) to replace it. The hole pattern appears to be the same between American Standard and Gerber. But the thing that is causing me issues is that the coupling...
