Thanks for the thoughts Terry!

The replumb is already done, other than the flange. I needed a side inlet elbow, so as far as I know, a spigot end is not available with the side inlet. With how...

Hi All,

I've been searching everywhere, and can't seem to find a 3" spigot (inside 3" hub fitting) offset closet flange anywhere. Does anyone make such an animal? The closest thing I've found...

Man, I didn't notice it killed another key word there. The 4 asterisks is that big auction site... No competition here for Terry's products, so I'm assuming its ok to talk about these suppliers in...

As suspected, it killed my link. Anyway, search **** for "spray foam insulation kit" and most of the results you get will be that type of product. Touch N Seal, Tiger Foam, Foam It Green, Froth...

You can get the foam product on ****, or from the individual manufacturers. They come in 2 canisters, which attach with 2 tubes to a spray wand that mixes them as it shoots them, activating the...

If this were my project, I'd cut off that PVC line in the shed, bust out just enough of the floor to dig out the elbow, and then go inside and cut out the PVC from that end. This should leave you...

this isn't really going to answer your question, but you really shouldn't use PVC for water distribution, unless its CPVC. I can't see enough in the pic to tell...

I haven't worked with a bathtub from the Sterling line, but I have done a number of their shower units, and they've been very nice to work with. Much heavier duty than most others I've seen. Might...

IF that is indeed a dry vent, then it would be vented if you tie into it at least 42" above floor. What we can't really say for sure from this info is that it is indeed a dry vent, and that that dry...

I think the choice between the two is primarily preference. The enameled steel, if properly taken care of, will almost certainly outlast the acrylic. But its also more rust prone, heavy and...

This makes good sense, thanks Jim :)

is this setup vented? If so, you can tie in your drain line to the line you wanted to before (don't do the pitch thing, come over and tie in with a PVC SanTee, not the fernco thingy), and then bring...

the sequence of event it would take to have that pump energize your bathtub water would be about as likely as you getting hit by lightning while taking a bath. unless you decide to run your romex...

Jim is a respected member here. He is trying to explain to you why your idea won't work. You clearly don't want to listen, just want someone to tell you to do what you already intend to do. That's...

I manage a bunch of rental properties, and one of the properties is complaining of sewer gas smell. I smell it too upon inspection. It is in a sort of hallway section of a master bath. Along one...

Yeah, I don't have a block behind my Toto, as I was able to get the tank to seat securely down on the rim of the bowl with no wobble. My previous POS toilet didn't have a raised rim, and the tank...

The reason for CI not being run that high is b/c the heat loss has been reduced in the building. Then you get overheating, so you turn down the temp.

The old school systems were almost always...

The easy rule is, anytime you turn TO horizontal (whether from vertical or horizontal), use a long sweep 90 or 2 45s. Turning to vertical you can use a medium 90.

A trap arm, I think, can break...

ok, i prefer to drill my pipes through the joists, but if its code compliant where you are, in your type of construction to just clip them to the joists, then that will make it much faster/easier. ...

if you want to do fiberglass, do as hj said. for foam, you won't need a vapor barrier, its part of the foam.

and yes, you should sheath the bottom to protect it from critters making a nice warm...

today's toilets are not supposed to actually touch the wall, so that's not really much of a concern. If you put in a 12" rough toilet, it will likely be 1/2" to 1" from the wall anyway.

that...

It may be that some more modern systems (which usually aren't CI) have reduced that temp, but those are the standard numbers for hot water heat. Its how pretty much every hot water radiation system...

If you want to do a complete, nice job, and spend a little mula doing it, get a spray foam contractor to come out and fill the joist bays in the cantilever, and while they're there, also spray your...

I assume this is a hot water system, not steam?

Even still, as much as I like pex, i wouldn't want to see pex used for a radiator system. You're flirting with its temperature limits. Its good...

Oh, and make sure you support that 3" every 4' along the horizontal, or you'll get a sag. And that's just a drag on a poo...
