Hi all,
I don't know what I'd do without online forums, although it's usually acoustic guitar forums for me.............However, I'm doing my bathroom over so here I am.
Thank you Terry, for hosting this wonderful place and all its knowledgeable people!
I'm setting an acrylic shower base after a dry rough in to get my new drain, trap and vent all set. Tested out just fine with water poured right down the drain, but without the flange set in plumbers putty.
I've now set the drain in the putty, and although it has 'loosened' a few times (as the putty squeezes out) I'm at the point of little putty squeeze-out, and the nut is quite firm, using the wrench they make for those things.
Any advice on how tight is enough, sans torque wrench or the like?
Thank you in advance for any info.
Best,
Howard
