Plumber came by today with the bill and checked the Pressure Regulator. Today it was at 80 so he'll pick one up next time he is in the area and the total bill including all supplies was only $230. I...

Just popping back in to say the plumber never did come back yesterday and we were so sad and disappointed thinking he just didn't want to do the job. We've had that happen before and our "back up"...

I guess 8 years is about the lifespan of the PRV then? It doesn't have a way to adjust it. I looked online and they run around $50 so hopefully he will replace it. It doesn't have connectors at both...

One more quick question? The water company mentioned that we have high pressure here and we had the pressure regulator changed about 8 years ago but they tested it and the pressure is 100 instead of...

Thanks to both! Hackney is right that we are on the coast in the SF Bay Area. We were told to dig 12 inches in the areas no one walked (ie. bush filled hill) and 18 at the lawn but we did 2 feet just...

nevermind, after talking with both the plumber and the water company, pvc is what they use here in our area. I guess it's the cheapest and easiest to use if not the most cutting edge technology. I...

The line from water meter to house was eaten by a tree so I am having to dig a new trench away from the tree and put down a new line to the house. The old line is a white pvc pipe that the water...

Thank you for all of your replies!

jadnashua, I did not buy the "optional" vacuum breaker. I saw that it was "code" in a bunch of states but not mine and didn't really understand at the time what...

"I could tell you where I would like it..." Redwood, does this mean you don't like these? Why not? It's not too late for me to switch it out for something better.

I think I figured it out. I...

Gosh Redwood, can you come do it?! You have already helped me so much, I should be paying you.

I think this is something that the plumber should know but now I see people just put them anywhere...

Well, I think I messed up. One side of shower has a regular wall mount shower head, the other side has this slide bar and the corner bench is there. The slide bar is this one and now I think the hose...

Plumber is here and putting in the plumbing for the shower. I have a Grohe Shower Bar with a hand held shower head but there are no instructions as to where to put the pipe from the wall/ the elbow...

Thanks so much Redwood. I like the look of those Speakmans!

I went to the plumbing store and oh boy, my head was spinning. It's probably "unethical" but the salesman wrote everything down I...

George, that is a good idea but I want each light separate simply because my vanity light is soooo beautiful. I went last night to get all the switches and oh boy, it was tough.

I finally picked...

Thanks so much Redwood! I am off to the plumbing store this morning and am taking printouts of your posts with me so I should have good luck! Any tips for picking nice showerheads, go with the Moen?...

Redwood, You are right! Originally I just wanted those 3 items-regular shower head, handheld shower on a bar and a rainshower head. I wanted to be able to run each one by itself or all together at...

Oops. forgot to ask: since these are 3/4" and my pipes are 1/2" will that be an issue or will it be just like I have now with the 1/2" pipes that have adaptors at the valve that go to 3/4"?

Thanks so much for your help. My eyes are blurry from spending so much time on this computer and I finally decided to order this set up-one for each side. Can you tell me for sure if I can run the...

Thanks-yes, the pricing really scared me off. After searching for the moen part Redwood showed me with the valve, I found it as low as $220 on the internet-big difference from the $570!
But...they...

Thanks leejoespho, For some odd reason I thought all 4 of the panasonic unit's switches had to be together in the same box! Are you sure they can be split up?

If I can split them up, I will put...

Aonther question, please? (posted this earlier but don't see it..hope it's not a double)

I was going to get the (4 gang) electrical box and a switch for the fan-found a nice compact rocker switch...

Redwood, So would that let me run a rainshower head, a regular showerhead and a handshower all at one time? The only thing it can't do is adjust each to different temperatures? I could live with that...

Good luck with ordering! I used the mfg coupon code and got 25% off and it was $160! I think that is a good price and I'm happy!! Thanks so much for all of your help-now on to the plumbing-ugh!

I think I've found the answer to which model? From another website:This product(11vhl1) has been discontinued. Available in Limited Quantities. Replaced by FV-11VHL2

I guess I will go with the...

Thanks Mikey, That is a smart configuration! Do you design it yourself? Wow, if I could add those 2 extra walls, it would save me big time on the shower door!

Thanks for the plumbing help. This...
