I would need a different picture than that.

Renters!!! I once opened up the ceiling on a condo, first floor basement unit. Water was coming though the ceiling above the stacked shower. I saw...

Inspectors have failed me when I tried the transition glue. I always use the coupling now. I have no problem with switching to PVC if you are using...

For above average size, then you would be looking at either a larger trapway, a Caroma toilet made in Australia (3" trapway in the bowl), or...

If you switch to PVC, then use a shield coupling between the two materials. I would not glue them.

Normally you would have a vent between the p-trap and where it enters a waste line for other fixtures to prevent siphoning of the p-trap. Also, the...

Gerber also makes a wall hung toilet. We do a lot of Glenwall installs too.

I have never looked into a wall to see if a shower arm was leaking. Either put tape on the threads, or pipe dope, thread the head onto the arm by...

Are you on city or well water? Do you treat with chlorine? Chlorine can break down the resin into small pieces. Do you have a bladder tank or...

You probably have too much air in the bladder and the tank is running out of water just as it is coming on. Your air and water gauges are probably...

With 11.5" to the wall you're fine with either the 500 or the Vespin II with their standard 12" kits.

I've installed the Neorest 500 at 11.5" from the back wall. Are you measuring the wall? Or the floor mold? You can also fudge the adaper...

That works with the 2" veritcal pipe on the vent.

It's just a matter of picking up a roof flashing, and putting the holes in the right location to drop a pipe through. It's not a lot in parts. In...

It drives the plumbing inspectors nuts that Home Depot sells product that doesn't meet plumbing codes. You may need to contact Glacier Bay for...

I quit shipping toilets ten years ago for that reason. 20% of the shipments were broken in some way. Good luck. You could be in the 80% on...

If you took more time to read what the OP did and less time beating up a DIY'er (me) you might notice that the problem preceded the checkvalve. Now,...

Some people perch at the end of an elongated bowl, rather than sitting back. The sitting position between round and elongated should be the same....

If the 3" line is used as a vent for the downstairs bath, then no waste can be put down it. You must determine if that is "really" a future waste...

The problem with your thinking is that everything needs to be in tip-top shape for it to work right. Fine for you and I where we know what the...

You have too much piping between the pump and the tank for how the pressure switch is located. Use a proper tank Tee and connect the sense line at...

If size was going to be an issue, then that should have been discussed before the purchase. That water has already passed over the dam. And if you...

Right. No inspector would allow a washer in any wet vent situation. That washer would suck the trap so fast it wouldn't be funny.

Thanks Don. I'm hoping that this is a good weekend for all the fathers out there. Being one sure changed my life. I remember seeing my first...

That Kohler faucet has a vacuum breaker on it. 2

You may get by with a decorative support elsewhere under the tub to take the weight off. Like hj mentions, there is no welding of cast. It's kind...

Theories abound on how water hammer works and how to mitigate it. Basically it is the inertia of mass as per Newton's three laws of motion....

I'm curious what brand you are looking at. I made inquiries with www.excaliburwater.com about their equipment since I could find very little details...

Why do you think it is the "last outlet"? If it were, it would not have 4 wires. Are your breakers not labelled as to which feeds what? It could...
