Thanks. I will go with the brass one. I went ahead and did the rotated trap. I did have to extend the horizontal run about 3", but I guess the one coupling shouldn't cause too much trouble. I did do some more digging last night and realized what I thought was a wye, was actually just a...

That wouldn't have worked, for a couple reasons. One, I already bought the pan (special order- took FIVE months to get it, it's not going back at this point), and the original drain had to be moved regardless. It was touching the foundation wall, and my framing is about 1"off the concrete, so...

Thanks for the tip on locating the drain. That's pretty much exactly what I did though I marked and cut out the hole in the pan, I'll do it again with just the pipe size. And, I'm using the wrong terminology- I didn't mean a screw-together union, I meant just a solvent weld coupling.

Hi, My four year old house was roughed for a basement bath, but clearly they had a tub in mind, and set the riser from the trap basically right against the foundation wall (Pic 1). I am installing a standalone 60" x 34" shower, and need to move the drain location away from the wall some...

It was marked F1960, so I went for it, and cut back the one side of the Tee and replaced a short section. I was able to remove the pipe without scratching the fitting. So far so good, and I feel better about it. On to drywall! Thanks for everyone's help!

Ok, sounds like I should definitely change it. However, next stupid question. I ordered most of my fittings online, but ran to my local parts house to grab a few more (for just such an occasion) and they are a bit different, and appear to be from a third-party Mfr. I thought initially...

Hmmm. I don't recall seeing the .030" value anywhere before, but that is also way less than 1/16" (.0625). Guess I will try to redo that side. Like I said, I think I can get it apart without damaging the fitting, I just had not seen a reason given for why Uponor said the plastic ones can't...

Ok, thanks. Everything I've seen from Uponor basically says they must be fully seated, but like most MFR's I'm sure that is more of a way for them to cover themselves for warranty purposes. I think I have enough access to cut back the one side and get the pipe off without damaging the fitting...

First, thanks for any advice or feedback. Sorry if this is a bit long, just want to give detail. I have a five year old house which is plumbed all with Uponor Aquapex. This house is my first exposure to it. I have a tiny bit of experience with Pex B (crimp) types, and a good amount with...
