I put in a ledger, but its not really holding anything. I put my flange screws through to the studs shimmed and made sure all is level. I think the feet are just there to make sure the apron is at the same height. If its sitting on the feet, they're sitting/surrounded by mortar now. I pretty...

Its finally set the 60x32 Kohler Expanse Used Quikrete Mortar mix brought to a packed "brown sugar" consistency. Used Piles, could form balls and place them on top of some plastic. Almost one 60lb bag. Sitting about 1/4in above where I thought it would be. I assume thats because of the packed...

I should have read a few posts up a little better I think the mortar is what holds this thing and the leg shims are just to get to level. I see what you mean about 3 legs. the floor is ever so slightly out of level leaning in towards the long back wall. After getting the back wall legs...

Thanks for the tips! I plan on using piles on top of plastic. I gotta get me a bucket scoop. I thought about the plastic shims. I just put it in the spot and shimmed it from the back with a wood one to see what it took to get to level. I have a couple packs of those plastic U shims but I...

I know I'm resurrecting the dead thread, but I have a similiar situation here. I've got a Kohler Expanse 60x32 tub. This thing has 4 feet I assume are 2" PVC pipes embedded in the sled. It states that if you use a ledger, the warranty is void. Glue down or mortar like the OPs tub. The...

I guess the solution is easier than I thought, but it almost seems like you're not supposed to do this - rotate the drain shoe (left or right a few degrees) and use a couple of 45's to make the overflow meet the sanitary tee. Like this guy: Mine isnt as dramatic and also meets the trap and...

Glad I asked (and I'm not surprised lol) Didn't realize the materials would be so different. Yes. Its going to have an access panel as well on that side for getting into the space. I dont have to cut up through the ceiling. I'm sure I can come up with a cleaver combination of approved...

Nice catch. Didn't pay attention to my example for the post and have never heard of furniture grade. I had actually been looking at this one: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Charlotte-Pipe-1-1-2-in-90-Degree-Schedule-40-PVC-Side-Outlet-Elbow/5013804245 Thanks for the confirmation!

Does the tee in the drain assembly need to be a sanitary tee? I noticed the complete kits come with a tee that looks like a straight connection (propylene and brass). I see that a lot of the plumber's when using the "packs" use a sanitary tee. If the tee isnt a requirement by code (even if...

That's just like, your opinion, man.

Well then, perhaps this is all pointless and I should just focus on correctly installing the new tub in two months. I'm looking at those sterling vikrell units. Do they hold the mustard....if I were to fill the tub with it?

This is a hallway main bath on the second floor. Its the only one with a tub. On the back side is the kitchen, at the foot is a small closet that seems like an afterthought because the return register for the hvac is behind it. The head/plumbing side of this tub/shower backs up to the master...

Been doing a lot of research on this. I understand the pitfalls of band-aiding this situation. I plan to rip out the tub in a couple months budget willing and DIY it with a real base like structolite. Anyway. I have been looking at low pressure, low expansion foams to fill the space beneath...
