You know, that does make sense. I bet a single handle tub cannot deliver full hot water, there is always a little cold mixed in...right? ...And yes, the master tub will have a roman tub faucet, this one in fact. But I do not know which of the rough-in valves they will choose.

Bonus: I found the code for this: 424.5 Bathtub and Whirlpool Bathtub Valves The hot water supplied to bathtubs and whirlpool bathtubs shall be limited to a maximum temperature of 120°F (49°C) by a water-temperature limiting device that conforms to ASSE 1070 or CSA B125.3, except where such...

It is a logical idea, however, there is another bathtub in the home and it does not get this feature. I guess the plumbing code only requires it for the master? Only the master bath. Wouldn't the kids bath be a better choice for something like this? Update to earlier posts...I traced the...

The answer I got back from the builder: Will be for a mixing valve for the master bath tub. Code requires that you cannot fill that master bath tub with straight hot water. That mixing valve will mix a little cold water with the hot at that master tub to prevent it from being filled with 120...

Would love to...but this is new construction about 25 miles away. We get to drive over after work some evenings and see what was done. The trades are gone by the time I get there. I should be able to trace the line this weekend though.

Thanks for all the replies! Some answers: First floor, no basement, two separate lines, no tee, the toilet is on the other side of the bathroom with a cold water line plumbed. There is no water heater yet as this is just the rough-in phase. There are two pipes (a red and a white) that are just...

After the rough in on my daughter's new home, we noticed one of the sinks in the Master Bath has an extra hot water line plumbed in. The two on the left have red PEX pipe under the insulation. The one on the right is white PEX pipe for cold. So, anybody know why there are two hots?

just realized the thread is two weeks old. JVAD, can you update us as to the solution you found please?

Worked for 7 years and now only recently it is failing? I would not worry about the drain height (yep, it is a problem, but not his current problem). I vote for a clog between the bottom of the dishwasher and the disposal. Either that or his 7 year old disposal is on it's last legs and is...

This may sound crazy, but it's how I've done it for years. I call this the towel and cell phone method. Once I've completed sweating the joints, I spread a couple of old bath towels around to catch any drips or spray if the joint leaks. Next, I hand my wife a flash light and make sure she has...

CT-18, you were correct. I had asked her about this on Sunday, but I must not have explained it well. A plumber came by and that was the issue. The new seal was a little too low.

I used different words, but this is exactly what I told her. Are the bubbles from the filler valve normal?

My daughter (who lives in a different state) sent me this video. Her toilet keeps cycling in a small amount of water. The orange 3" washer is new as of today. The white plastic part that rises to flush is smooth at the point it touches the new rubber washer. So, it should form a seal. But...

On the initial install, the wax was not frozen, it crushed OK, just not as much as I should have crushed it. I certainly learned a few things with this project.

Thanks for the help and fun advice guys. Appreciate it! :) I decided to remove one of the spacers to lower the flange 1/8", so now it is 1/4 above the floor after screwed down. :confused: I'm not sure I had to do this, but just in case? I think the problem of the floor being generally...

I see. It's not hitting, in fact, it looks like there's plenty of clearance. I'm used to be a carpenter, so I have solved it by dry setting the toilet and figuring out where it is high and hammering :D the wood to flatten it a bit to help me get it more level :) Carpenters should -not- be...

I just measured it. The toilet is 3 1/4" and the flange opening is 3 3/4" so it should fit in the hole without issue when centered on the closet bolts.

Is this correct? Doing research, I've seen arguments for level with the floor up to 3/8" above the floor like this.

Do I need to lower the height of the flange? Is 3/8" above the floor too much? Is so, what is the desired height above the floor for the top surface of the flange?

I removed the toilet this morning and looked at the underneath side. There appears to be plenty of room for my flange that sticks up 3/8" from the floor to fit into the space underneath. The wax would have to smoosh out quite a bit though. So, do I need to change the height of the flange? If...
