Hmm. Terry, is there not a way to just release the water out of the riser on this particular style of shower valve? If water has to drip while shower is on that’s fine but if when it’s in the off position it drips continuously I’m not sure that seems right - I know what you were saying about it...

Yes where it says “the water flow will not shut off completely from the spout per code requirements” is what I meant to highlight in sharing the disclaimer on the side of the box. I mean, maybe I never noticed this while the shower was on in my entire life, that’s fine if it has to be that way...

when the diverter valve is turned to both off and shower there is a steady dribble coming out of tub spout. And obviously when turned to tub it runs The dribbling (slow but steady flow) never stops. I’m wondering if what it says on the box is what’s going on and there actually isn’t a problem...

Does this explain my “problem”?

Installed the valve over the weekend and no leaks when pressurized. However when the diverter valve is turned to both off and shower there is a steady dribble coming out of tub spout. And obviously when turned to tub it runs. I took it all apart as far as I can tell nothing is missing or...

When you’re testing your tub/shower valve for leaks is it a good idea to leave the tub on for a day - capped - ie a long period of time) and the shower on for the next day - capped- to see if all the fittings are good or is this unnecessary/unwise even? Or should I just check them quick while...

So looks like I tug on 25 to get that out as only hold up is o-rings. And with 11 I’m not sure if 12 is an o-ring or not, if it is I definitely need it out. If not an o-ring I would still like it out since I know I’ll likely be slower than a pro and 11 might be plastic. So, grab hold with some...

This is a Kingston brass valve model KB36330PX. Getting ready to solder but I don’t know if I need to take beige piece out, nor do I want to try as I’m afraid I’ll break it. Seems to be a hard plastic. Also, the piece right by my thumb is what turns the ball valve I don’t see a way to remove it...

I’m Assuming you mean a loss... at first. But eventually not.

Perhaps I have a glamorous view of plumbers. It seems to me the options are simpler, and more than what a welder has. It seems relatively easy to start a plumbing business if that’s the route I wanted to take eventually. I can guarantee you no one in my neighborhood is googling “welder near me”...

Not sure if this would be the place but does anyone have advice getting into the plumbing trade? Specific advice or general doesn’t matter anything is appreciated. Currently I am a welder, been so going on 10 years or so, but thinking about the switch. Better money, could move anywhere in the...

Wayne, I asked in another reply but I suppose this is more appropriate because you already laid it out for me here. Specifically about venting the right side of the wall in this new setup we’ve been discussing today (vents in both left and right walls)... everything remains the same except the...

How about on the right side? Should the toilet just be 2” wet vented by vanity? Or is it a good idea to dry vent it up the wall then tie vanity into it?

Wayne I think I’m following you perfectly. See photos. Something like that?

Sorry for the multiple blank replies I’m not sure how they are posting some of these. And I can’t figure how to delete

First I will try and slope it up 45, but if I don’t have the room/elevation I’ll have to route it as you drew it up

If I’m venting up both walls, here’s what I’ve gathered correct me where I’m wrong. Thanks! heres my attempt based on what I’ve gathered. Check my work? Thanks!

Wayne, I’ll post here instead of copying and pasting the other, and I’ll delete the other. And I’ll just ask this more straightforwardly and specific. With my situation if I desire to dry vent the left and right walls, I need help with how to do this on the left wall fixtures (and maybe the...
