Sorry for the delayed reply... I searched for "PVC fittings". Be sure to switch to the "Models" section. You should see quite a few collections there. I pulled parts from a couple of collections, one called "PVC Pipe fittings": ...and another called "ABS DWV or PVC Fittings":

Good to know. Would a decent teflon tape be recommended instead? I designed it to be easy to remove and rebuild, if necessary.

2-1/2 years ago, I used Hercules Pro Dope on a brass assembly for my main water supply (pictured). Recently, I noticed the dope around the joints is turning green. No leaks, but the valve box does trap humidity (the little black box is a temp/humidity sensor). Is it normal for the dope to...

I've also been a frequent lurker of these forums for years. Condolences and gratitude. Thanks to all for carrying on the legacy.

@Lukewalker64 - Thanks. I used Sketchup. I Started with the free version to create a scale model of the building structure (thanks, pandemic). But I recently gave in and upgraded to Sketchup "Pro" (aka: paid) so I could gain access to their "3D Warehouse", which includes the PVC pipes and...

@wwhitney Wayne, thanks for the feedback. Very much appreciated. I've attached an updated drawing that includes some existing structures for spatial context, plus a rough floorplan. Per your advice: - Item 1: I made the half-bath san-tee 2x2x1.5. Is that ok for a large, single-basin type...

Gonna redo the franken-piping in my addition. It has a utility/half-bath, and master w/double vanity, over a crawlspace. The 3" main vent and 2" vented sink drain are in the 2x6 wall separating the two rooms. I'd be grateful for any advice you guys can give on my design. My local code is UPC:

To follow up: I traded the Delta valve with the shutoffs for the model without, and the ID of the PEX inlets are indeed larger on the model without the shutoffs. My solution for providing an unrestricted connection to the tub spout was brass fittings which increase the size of the pipe between...

Terry and Jim, The valve body does have threaded outlets which can also receive 1/2" copper. I now understand what you're both saying about reducing the flow on the outlets, and how a smaller outlet pipe or fitting (ie: for PEX) to the tub spout could force water back up to the shower head -...

Hi Terry - thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I was trying to link pics from my google drive. For the tub outlet, would a 1/2" FPT to propex adapter to a propex drop ear elbow with 1/2" FPT for the spout not be best practice? Here's another try for an image:

Hello All, this is my first post. I want begin by saying thanks for everyone's contribution to this awesome site. I recently bought a Delta R10000-MFWS for a remodel - it has the 1/2" propex inlets built in. Upon inspection, the inner diameter of the inlets are considerably smaller than any...
