clawfoot tub

Hello! Me and my mother live in an older house and she has had this old clawfoot bath for a long time and since we do not have the means to purchase another faucet, I wanted to seek help in order to understand the issue with ours. Everytime we try to turn the faucet handle (green) in order to...

I am trying to install a clawfoot tub faucet using provided S-union in an inside the wall mount. It's taken me over 2 weeks of research to discover that the S-union is an NPS (straight) thread not a NPT (tapered) thread. After going to too many plumbing supply stores where no one knew the...

Recently purchased a home with a clawfoot tub that is installed in such a way that you can't really get a shower curtain around it. The lip of the tub appears to be resting on a 2x4 with a bit of trim attached to it. I think it is just cosmetic but would like some confirmation before I start...
