Thanks, I don't think it's in there, but I'll give them a call tomorrow. Anyone else have any ideas, keep them coming.

I'm looking for replacement stems/spindles for a Speakman supply valve. Their plumbing specialist thinks this is a Flo-Free model made in the 60's to 80's. They don't make replacement parts for it...

I realize that and wouldn't have even consider it unless there were an individual unit shutoff. I've emailed my niece to let her know about the possibility of a license requirement. Glad I don't...

Thanks for the reply, Jim. Several good things to consider. Some I thought about. Some I hadn't.

I've asked my niece if there is a water cutoff in her unit, but don't know the answer, yet. ...

I'm trying to help my niece, in another state, replace her tub/shower surround economically. The drywall was tiled at some point before she bought the condo and just realized it was caving in. This...

Why wouldn't the wall kits made by Swanstone work? The installation says they can be applied to drywall. Home Depot special orders them. If someone knows of a problem, let me know mucho pronto,...

I like your conviction. I need to check for the clearance issue and go from there.

Apparently, Delta agrees the drop can be too much. They advise the drop from valve to spout be 8"-18" to avoid "shower-rise". First, I've got to figure out if the cover plate will fit above the new...

Thanks for the comments. Delta said the 8" minimum drop is so water won't back up and dribble out the shower head when filling the tub. If the 5" drop isn't enough, I've wasted time & money on a...

I have a 3 handle valve in a tiled tub/shower and want to update to a single handle valve. The existing drop from valve to tub spout is only about 5" and Delta calls for an 8" drop. If I move the...

Thanks for the advice. I will pass this along.

Any Toto model would provide satisfactory flushing even if it is at the low end in price?

Thanks, Jimbo. I suspected as much. I knew it was old. Just didn't know whether parts were available. I figured this was the place to get the answer.

For reasons I cannot comprehend, a friend's toilet tank cracked for no apparent reason. It is a white American Standard #F4058. Is it reasonable to expect to find a replacement tank or will my...

I'm leaning toward replacing the cast iron toilet waste line with pvc. I don't have enough room for the drop required for a 4 x 3 closet bend & flange. I was told to use a 3" street 90. The flange...

Cool. Thanks, Jim.

Thanks for responding. I'm new here. The question may have been better suited to the toilet forum. After some looking around in the toilet forum, I've removed the flange intact. Yippee!

If...

Help! I'm redoing a bathroom and need to replace plywood subfloor around the cast iron toilet flange. I've never worked with cast iron before. I don't have access from below without going through...
