The sprayer isn't that heavy (doesn't feel like solid brass).

In addition, the flexible braided hoses underneath the faucet are permanently affixed to the faucet. By that I mean I can't replace...

This is the faucet in my kitchen. It drips, so I'm thinking it needs a new cartridge. The problem is that I have NO idea what brand it is. There is no name on it anywhere. It looks like I'll need...

I'll take the nuts off of the bolts and see how badly it rocks.

Since there has been some rocking, does it make good sense to remove the toilet and replace the wax ring? My concern would be...

Just answered my own question. Plastic. Pick it up a Lowes.

I'm going to go with the Gremlins. Them and that damn invisible cat that I'm alergic to...

I never thought about shiming the toilet. That could very well be the problem. What do you use to shim...

I'm fairly certain the flange is in solid. I put 4 stainless steel screws down through it into the subfloor, and I drove them in as far as they would go.

I just installed a Toto toilet in my upstairs bath. It is a standard installation and didn't take long. But now I'm having a problem with the toilet. Specifically, after tightening the 2 nuts that...

Mort,

Forgive my ignorance, but was that an A/C unit AND a furnace, or just the furnace? I didn't quite catch all the terms.

Thanks for the info. I looked up the rebates that the utility company might offer (didn't know they did that), and it looks like I might be able to get a couple hundred from them.

The only...

Hello everyone. I have a very general question, and of course, there is no right or wrong answer to this. But I'm looking for advice or opinions on my situation.

I have a 20 year old house that...

Yea, I checked out some more info today. I checked with the actual office staff and found out that the water heater is "supposed" to be set between 120 and 140 deg. Not sure why. I have mine set...

Here's the quick summary of what I'm doing. I'm remodeling a master bath that has BOTH a shower and a separate tub. According to the plumbing inspector here in central NJ, I need to have a...

No, the water doesn't accumulate when taking a shower, but it's a low-flow shower head and I take short showers. Maybe I'll try some of the organic desolvers in the trap to see if that improves it....

I just purchased one from BainUltra. I, too, did some research on these tubes, but mainly from an installation viewpoint. BainUltra apparently is the leader in the market, or they invented it, or...

I have a standard 5' tub/shower in on of my bathrooms. When taking a shower, there are no drainage issues with a 2.5gallon/minute shower head. When someone takes a bath, however, the water takes a...

When running ABS through an exterior wall for drain and vent, how does fiberglass insulation get put into place?

The existing R-13 Fiberglass insulation was installed 2 different ways. In some...

I'll look for brass. Any issues with soldering copper to brass? I've done it before, just not sure if i've done it right :D

If I want to plumb this the "right" way, it looks like I have a couple of decisions to make. The drain and vent are on the extreme left of the bathroom. In order to move the drain/vent to the...

For some reason, Jado builds their faucets to NOT allow the soldering on the inlets and outlets. You can't fit the 1/2" inside and it specifically says not to try it.

Thanks. I had done a search here, but my search terms were too vague and I got too much info. A search on the internet yielded a few clues that agree with what you listed.

I suppose the key is...

This seems like such a simple problem, but I'm at a loss as to how to deal with it.

My wife just purchased a Jado shower head and valve body (pressure balanced). The inlets and outlet are 1/2"...

Just as a follow-up, here's a picture of how the drains look now. Both sink drains connect to the vent/drain stack on the left side of the picture (partially visible in the open floor).

It seems...

Hmmm. Interesting. So what is the proper way of plumbing the drain pipes for 2 sinks that are 4 feet apart? should the drain line come up BETWEEN the 2 sinks and then T off to the left and right? ...

Herk,

Yes, we have codes here (in new jersey), but as I'm finding out, my master bathroom is a bit of a mess when it comes to the plumbing and electrical compliance. Or at least it was a mess and...

Thanks.

Along those lines, I'll have to replace the majority of the vapor barrier that was behind the sinks. What's the proper way of putting it in? Does the pipe go on this side of the vapor...
