I have a couple of thoughts, -Does the toilet bubble when any other fixture is run? -Could it be the sink, or shower in the room? I am also wondering if they bubble or gurgle when anything else is run. -I would consider pulling the toilet, and installing a rubber test plug in the flange to...

Venting is tricky, and varies by state. Most of the information you’re asking about will be in your local plumbing code. The minimum length of the trap arm to avoid forming an s trap will be in the code as will the minimum and maximum distances of the individual vent(if required). The height of...

If it is in fact a Kohler rite temp, (it doesn’t look like one to me but I’ve been wrong before) the circular escutcheon directly behind the handle will unthread counter clockwise taking the lever with it. The larger plate is pinched to the wall by the center portion. Once the plate is off...

I’ve never seen someone drive screws through a drop ear 90 from the back like that. What a good idea.

Do you have any pictures, I am unfamiliar with that style of drain. The only drain I’ve seen that can be installed from the top only is a mustee showerbase that uses a resilient gasket between the pipe and a funnel in the base. I have used the three inch version on closet flanges with varying...

It looks like it could be either of the cartridges below. It may be neither though. What I am unsure of it what retains it in the valve body. Thermostatic valves are usually threaded in, or have some sort of spring clip/trim that hold them in. Both of the cartridges that I found have a set screw...
