The restricted flow in the hand shower heads means it takes forever to penetrate the dual coat. Outdoors this is easy; as I have a spray adapter that screws on...

    Tub/Shower handle removal

    I have a Pegasus fixture that I can't get the handle off. I have removed the set screw, sprayed with lime-away, WD-40 and tapped wood wedges behind the handle to no avail. Am I missing something? I hate to force it too much and break something. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Toilet/WC above Shower?

    I'm trying to get a wall hung toilet installed in my condo but my application got rejected because as I understand it, that the wet vented drain for the WC has to be at the same elevation or lower than other wet vented plumbing group fixtures such as the shower (I assume it is to prevent risk of...
