well, judging by your second picture... you mention a tub, which is most cases is trapped below the floor... and i don't see a p-trap anywhere, maybe its out of the frame... and the sanitary tees on their back and the use of what looks like pressure pvc fittings... a bit of a no-no... if, as you...

no air admittance valves are your friends edit: wait... did you install the new pvc pipes? if so, call a professional... i feel like im being trolled :confused:

whats with the putty haters! how else are the bolt caps gonna stay secure?! im kidding, relax... although! when i first started the trade i was reading a manual for either the wax seal or the toilet itself and it was suggested to line the bottom rim of the toilet with putty. then i guess...

my first suggestion would be to rip it off the wall, throw it out back and give it a few blasts with a shotgun... second, as havasu mentioned, call tech support. i've had to diagnose a couple noritz units, their tech support was very helpful... and again as havasu said its very odd its...

first thing i want to know is if you know you should be disconnecting your outside spigot during the winter. that may freeze, and you won't find out until you start using it. how old is your house? reason why i ask is if you know of any past issues with pipes freezing. your idea of...

You haven't had any work done to your house or modifications during this time??

the largest concern i can think is that painters will be able to paint the area behind the tank

replace it (the fillvalve, not the toilet :P )

why? is there a particular reason you want to do this? it sounds completely unnecessary to be doing this... to answer your questions, i don't know of any code that would prohibit this... if an inspector were to see it, he may ask for a vacuum breaker of sort... but i doubt an inspect would...

the video would have been better with music... anyway, behind those two 3/8's copper supply tubes, you should find a nut... it'll be roughly be a 3/8's socket size and be about an inch tall... it threads onto a rod that protrudes through that horseshoe shaped washer...

sounds like you rigged it up nicely [/sarcasm] if what you said is true, hit it with a plunger... if that doesn't solve it, call a professional

thanks Cad and Phish for your responses... Caduceues, you made a very important comment about 'fudging' joints, which skipped my mind but shouldn't go unnoticed. Mark, i think you may have over looked the point of my diagram... the answer to your question "Is there a max slope for shower...

it can, and yes

not neccesarily true. i don't know how your current venting configuration is, but i hope this diagram can explain. the top trap is what im guessing what you're asking. that is considered an s-trap, and that is what you should avoid. basically the weir of the trap is higher than your...

i don't think anything backed up... if you look at the drips on the rim and inside of the bowl, somthing was poured in there or theres a leak from above...

well since its not me bumpin this thread from the grave in the first place, i gotta add my two cents... but it sounded like to me that the laundry room was the only safe house for his wife unleash her flatulence... clearly the op figured this out

it is a bit over kill (and unnecessary) for your relief valve to have its own drain... i suggest putting a temporary cap over the 1 1/2 waste line and just dropping the relief valve pipe strait into your water heater pan... in any case the relief valve begin to leak or malfunction you'll be able...

sounds like ectoplasm to me... i'd contact the ghost busters ASAP

it's probably the most interesting piece i've had to remove... yes, its completely real... as i said before, an older couple had a remodel done upstairs for a master bath and hall bath. i don't have any clue who they used, but their concern was the lack of inspection/permit. since they were...

thats your p-trap! :D its just like any 'j-bendy' lookin thing under any kitchen or lav sink... its there to prevent sewer gasses from coming up the drain. you should always have water in it
