Here is the update, tank is touching on all three points, followed the advice here and the toto drake thread and I ultimately had to snug the nuts about as much as they would go. When they touched...

Thanks Jim, I was just going to update my post. Upon tightening down the flange bolts a little more than hand tight it took the rocking out completely. Guess it was a flase alarm due to my...

Hi, I am trying to install my first toilet. It is a toto drake 1.6 gal round. My closet flange is a sioux metal/abs type and sits on top of a tile floor (it is tight to the floor and secured with 6...

Thanks for the replies, I'm leaning towards taking it back but I'll probably check a local plumbing shop in town and see what they sell there. If I end up finding the same integrated supply lines I...

Hi, I purchased a price pfister selia faucet for my kitchen and it has integrated 35" pex supply lines that seem pretty rigid. They are much considerably longer than I need and I seriously doubt I...

I have never installed a acrylic tub (or any other type for that matter) and had a concern about the underside of the tub I purchased. I understand that the drain shoe has a rubber gasket that goes...

Looks like Laurel Mountain is not well known, or maybe just air tubs in general. I did order a laurel mountain air tub from Lowes. Oddly enough the laurel mountain website does not even show the...

To make a long story short, the 5x32 whirlpool tub I had ordered could not take the in-line heater that the store said it would so I am going to order another model (looking to go with air injectors...

HJ, just a quick thanks, thats gonna do the trick.

Gary, do you think carefully cutting away the rubber stop with a razor knife inside the banded coupler would be ok? I need to be able to slide it up to cover the joint, I could mark the pipe with a...

Hi Gary,

I just fit everything together pre-gluing just to get it at the right length, that is a good tip about the glue allowing the fittings to fit together easier. It is a pain but I have been...

Hi again,

I am in the process of moving my closet flange for my new toto drake and am reconnecting my waste line and the vent. I need a fernco fitting for the vent line (3" abs to 3" abs) and the...

dcelite and HJ, I will use a wye and not a sanitary tee, does it make a difference if I use a wye/45 with another 45 or a wye/90?

Thanks for the help!

dcelite, I reread your post again and I think what you are saying is to use the wye and then a 45 also?

If I used the sanitary t it would lay on its back. I wondered if that would be ok as I have read a couple threads here that said it violates code in most places. So it would be best to use a...

Hi, I am moving a closet flange and had a question regarding which abs fitting to use when reconnecting to the vent stack.

I will be cutting the vent line a bit below the subfloor and drain line...

Thanks Terry, I am just going to get the American Standard 2425 ordered since it seems like it not that big an issue overall to offset the drain.

Frenchie,
I did not get the impression that HJ thought the plumbing was wrong, out of the picture is a 6 inch duct and I was actually thrilled to see essentially no hacked up floor joists :) I have...

Thanks for the reply. I was concerned that if I ordered the tub that needed a drain center 16" from the wall that it would be a large problem that might have included cutting out a section of the...

Hi all,

Very glad I found this forum as I am remodeling a bathroom at have a question regarding what my options are for the two whirlpool tubs I am considering. I pulled out a standard 5'x30" tub...
