Copy. I was really asking if anyone has been the situation that they just couldn't achieve full seating on a gravity drain waste repair but were able to get a good depth that felt good and tight and solid after glued and assembled if they ever had an issue with it leaking. Not really in the book...

Acknowledged. The original intent of the question was what an acceptable depth seating would be when you're in a "not be able to achieve full depth" situation with little or no risk of failure or leak.

Even in a gravity drain system? So if could get 3/4 of the depth seating with a good amount of glue on it and there is no pressure on the pipe to pull it apart it would be at risk to fail and a no hub coupling would be a better repair?

I know PVC pipe should be seated into a fitting until it reaches the small lip inside the fitting but let's say you're making a repair and you may not be able to achieve full depth. What is acceptable? Note: I'm talking waste / drain line

I spread it out 2" to 3" thick before I set the tub on it but the space under the tub was only like 3/4"

Used mortar mix under the tub.

Does that mix fully harden?

Would Quikrete Mortar Mix do the job also?

Looks like you used building paper on the subfloor before the sand topping mix. I have a self-leveling compound over the area where the tub sets.......would I still need to use the barrier between the floor and the self-leveling compound?

Thanks for the replies...........looks like the green top compound is not the way to go.

Oh no I didn't look..........it says pvc..........is this going to be an issue?

Replaced the fittings in the areas of concern.

I'm installing a drop in type acrylic tub that someone suggested using a (5) gal. container of drywall compound as an acceptable substitute for mortar mix........is this true?

Yes sir you are correct............working on it.

I've looked on line and some tubs don't appear to be fastened and I see some that have screws through the top flange into the studs. Other says place the screw over the top of the flange letting the head hold it down. It's a drop in tub with a ledger board under the rim and a knee wall under the...

Called Moen and you are correct sir.............just switch the valve cartridge and shared functions are achieved. Thank you!

Copy Thank you..........if replacing that works it would be awesome! I'll call Moen tech support.

I'm not a (obviously) plumber also. What part of the valve on this exploded list is the diverter. I assume you are talking about the cartridge, correct?

Ok a new twist in my quest to renovate my bathroom. So I must had a misunderstanding with the salesperson at my local plumbing supply store when discussing my needs / requirements for my valve functions. I thought I asked for a valve for (3) devices that would operate (3) independent and...

I purchased the suggested items to correct the valve piping. 8" X 12" copper stub 1/2" copper male adapter 1/2" X 1-1/2" brass nipple for the handheld shower 1/2" CPVC / Stainless drop ear 90 for the tub spout and handheld shower
