The seal under the flush valve looks pretty ragged.
Are you putting chorline tablets in there?

What's Up

The Longstride cover of the 4 Non Blonds song "What's Up"
The singer is pictured on the top of the page on the right.

A Fluidmaster 400A would work for that, and it's parts.

While the toilet is refilling, the shower has to share the cold supply, thus the warmer temperature in the shower. It's similar to someone using a cold tap while your are in the shower.
I would...

And did you measure the water from the tubing that was refilling the bowl during the refill process?
That water bypasses the tank and goes right to the bowl.
If you turned off the water at the...

Pipe B is in the wall. A lav that wet vents the toilet.
Pipe A is 13" in front of the framed wall. This is for a standard 12" rough toilet.
Pipe C needs to be in a wall and it's for the tub drain...

Any bowl needs to set flat to the floor without rocking. Shim as needed, though we tend to shim the back and try to pin the front of the bowl to the floor. Then we use polyseamseal and caulk the bowl...

If there is "any" restriction on the tub spout piping, it will force water up to the shower head.
It needs to be unrestricted copper, galvanized or brass.

CPVC or PEX won't work.

I would remove the PRV first, and then you will be able to unsolder the shutoff valve and resolder a new one.
While you are at it, you might also change the PRV. They only last so long.
The PRV...

You can dump them in a container, but it's easier with an elongated bowl to just do it all there while sitting.
Plus, you can't take all that other stuff with you when you go out.

You can order...

Sometimes it's time to replace an old shower faucet and go with a new pressure balanced faucet.
Moen makes the Posi-Temp, which holds the temperature within 3 degrees. Pretty nice if you have...

You would be looking at the Vespin II if you wanted to go with the 14" Unift adapter.
Same tank, but a different bowl that allows moving it back 2".

The center of your drain will be at about the...

Looking at the spec sheets everything looks fine.

1/2 NPT, which is standard stuff.

I see that the K-9511 has two outlets, a male 1/2" pipe thread and a 1/2 hose thread with diverter.

The plumbing takes presidence over trash bins.
That's why you have a plumbing inspector, and plumbing permits.

Normally we would do it from an inside wall to access the connection to an outside hosebib.

It doesn't really matter whether the manifold is before or after the 3/4" upstairs pipes as long as it's sized properly.

It looks like you would have to change out quite a bit.
The parts for...

I like the Rheem units too.
You might also look into tankless if you have a good enough gas supply there.

It may be easiest to work out from the CPVC

I would cut it back and start over. The threads where the shutoff threads down look to be fine threads, not pipe threads.

I had the TOTO Aquia for a while, and then changed it for a TOTO Double Cyclone.
The Aquia was pre Ostomy bag, and the double cyclone was during the time I had the Ostomy bag installed. I know the...

In an old 1939 home I have not had an inspector make me change that dimension.
Some old homes in Seattle are 7 feet for the bath. That meant 24" for the toilet and 24" for the lav.
Way too small...

A thirty year old non-balanced Moen, the cartridge would not have much affect on water pressure side to side.
If you have the pressure balanced "Moentrol", you may have an issue with the balance...

The previous drawing you have posted shows many more fixtures.


A standard laundry trap drain is pretty small.
Some people are installing kitchen sinks and using them as laundry trays.

When the fixture above drains quickly, like pulling the plug and draining, it can siphon the trap below.

Will the bar sink drain slow enough? Well...........if it's really a kitchen sink with a...
