well, it is in a convenient place. it's right inside the door to the crawl space. my question has more to do with what happens if and when water comes out of it?

i mean, i'm going to have to...

i just had an irrigation system installed @ the house. for now, i opted to tap off the water main under the house and not have a separate meter installed.

they put the backflow preventer in the...

hj:

you are right. that's exactly how i ended up installing the assembly.

now, the problem is that there is a very slow leak from the showerhead/showerarm threaded connection. this is despite...

both good ideas. thanks very much.

ok, so i need to install a straight showerarm in the ceiling for an overhead rainshower.

i don't want to scratch the finish. i tried a strap wrench; couldn't get it tight enough and the strap...

strap wrench...that's it!

thanks very much.

what tool do i need to install shower fixtures (arms, showerheads, etc.) that will grip without damaging the finish?

i thought i had once seen something that looked kind of like a oil filter...

thanks cass,

so really, all fittings have to be sweated both sides at the same time?

no way to do one side of a fitting then come back to do the other without screwing up the first one?

one...

i'm getting ready to install a shower rough-in valve and all associated plumbing connections.

i need to attach a few elbows to the valve before installing it.

question: if i sweat the elbows to...

thanks.

there's actually going to a knee-wall on the left to about 48". i think i'll run the new vent in that wall and then run it vertically up the back.

thanks for the suggestions.

p.

thanks herk.

basically all i want to do is re-route the vent from "A" to the other wall "B".

the vent is between the jacuzzi tub and the shower stall.

i'd run the new vent under the shower...

Does a vent have to be a straight run or can it incorporate 90 degree right angles? I'm re-doing a shower stall; one wall is going to be glass block...right in the middle of that wall is a vent, so...

yeah, about those sharkbite things. i've been reading on some of the posts here that they haven't been out long enough to have proved themselves.

again, this plumbing is going to be in a wall...

ok to use threaded fittings behind a wall with no access panel???

i'm confused...the valve requires soldered connections. what transitions the soldered copper to cpvc? a diagram or photo would be extremely helpful to me if possible. thanks.

plumbing for a shower remodel; the supply lines are cpvc and the new shower valve is brass with 1/2" cc connections. the cpvc/copper fittings i've seen have a permanently fixed piece of cpvc. how...

AH-HA!!! i didn't know that the valves were reversible. that answers that! thank you very much.

p.

Does anybody know which diverter handle position on this valve controls which outflow port?

When the handle is straight up and down, I'd like to have the wall showerhead on. When I turn the...

thanks. i'm definitely not a pro, so i'll probably end up overheating the thing. i think i'll just remove all the cartridges and stop-check valves just to be on the safe side.

thanks again.

Hello,
I'm starting a shower remodel project and I'm trying to sort things out before I start.

The right-hand wall of the shower stall will be tiled, the left-hand wall be tiled from floor to...

do the stop-check valves have to be removed as well prior to soldering?

thanks.

pietre.

thanks patrick. how "not perfect" does it have to be?

1/2" drywall, thinset, kerdi, thinset, 3/8" tile...about how thick would you think this is? about an inch more or less?

pietre.

p.s....

i'm ready to plumb a new shower using the Moen 3330 valve.

the valve instructions are horrendous, stating that the plasterguard must be "flush with the finished wall"...well now, exactly how does...

Another question regarding this diagram: between the spout and the valve there is a measurement of 1-11/16". WHAT is 1-11/16"???

is it the distance between the finished wall surface and the...

Hello all,

i'm just starting a bathroom remodel project. i'll be re-doing the existing shower stall (48" x 48") and would like to have a regular wall shower (we like our speakman showerhead) and...
