    Gurgle noise from tub when flushing toilet

    ok sprinkler. obviously you need to look at that automatic valve or replace it. (insure it's getting power first if it's difficult to remove to eliminate that possibility). the whining is likely failure to fully close but attempt of close. it should be totally unrelated to the bathroom as it...

    DWV Seepage...needs sealed or bigger issue?

    i don't agree. stop blaming the pipe. (it'd only leak if some nauxous chemical put a hole in pvc - i doubt it. pvc "glue" actually creates pvc so for it to leak ...) it's not a pressurized PVC i assume, it's a drain if i see the size and guess usage right if you have water under your...

    weight limits on pipe - supporting pipe "right"

    yea i think that's easiest. i see there are copper straps at HD, i could two these || to floor at lowest point, leaving only weight on the soldered NPT ends (which i guess is ok? codes anyone?) anyone have input on how much hang weight is allow "to hang" and what is "code" ? is a hose hung...

    weight limits on pipe - supporting pipe "right"

    i just added the ball valves and shiny part at the bottombut did *not* change the pipe support. (i'm thinking of adding more support?) the support is the same as some "proffesional" plumber had installed (a single copper nail in 2x4). worrysome to me is ballvalve+pipe on right: notice how it...
