Is there any possible way to fit a tub drain and p-trap into a 6" (5.5") floor joist? This bath is on a second floor and the joists are only 5.5"s deep. I'd rather not have to fir down the ceiling in order to fit the plumbing in. I measured a 1.5" p-trap and it was 6" deep just by itself...

I think I know the obvious answer here, but I'll ask anyway. Can a vent pipe be routed down? Due to a sloping roof line, once the vent reaches 6" above the flood rim, it will have to be sloped down into the existing vent stack. I know that liquid will fall either direction but gases could be...

Can I vent fixtures where they meet, or just before where their arm meets the main drain line? Due to existing roof penetrations and stacks, it would be much easier to vent these fixtures on the top side of bathroom rather than on bottom side and running vent lines all the way around the...

I've got an old shower stall that appears to be 40+ years old. Its got the metal lathe on the walls with concrete floated over it and tile laid on top. Whoever built it did a dang good job because the only place it appears to be leaking is around the drain and a little down the copper supply...

I originally hired a plumber to help with this bath remodel, but when he didn't show after a few weeks, I decided to do it myself. You guys actually made the whole thing pretty easy. I had no prior plumbing experience. Basically ripped out all the old plumbing and put in all new waste lines, 3...

Gentleman, I'm on the final stages of my bathroom renovation. Can't wait to share some pictures with you guys since y'all have been so helpful. Quick question. Do I just use an adapter coming out of the wall to decrease the 2" drain pipe to mate up with the 1.5" sink drain? Is this alright?

I can't find a niche that exactly fits my needs. I don't see a problem forming one out of 2x4's and lining it with cbu board but what can I use to seal it? Redguard? It seems like there are a ton of products out there, what do you recommend? Also, what do I use to tape the hardibacker seams...

I'll be surprised if this question doesn't cause some debate. Should my toilet flange rest flush with the finished floor or should it rest on top of the finished floor? I've read for a few hours and the consensus is that the code states on top of finish floor but the people who do this for a...

So I've got a small bathroom and I'm trying to save space. Here's my question. Is the difference between a 10" & 12" rough-in toilet mean that the entire toilet will sit 2" closer to the wall on a 10" toilet. Or does the difference have to do with working the plumbing around floor joists, etc...

Need to tap into 3" drain pipe from washer. This tap will drain two vanity sinks. Should I use a T fitting or a Saddle? Im not sure I can squeeze the T fitting between the lines if I cut it.?. The line is about 15' long so I may have a little play between the two, but I'm not sure there is...

Looking for a good way to attach the shower elbow that you screw your shower head connector into. When I tore out the old shower it was just secured with the old metal strapping stuff. Didn't seem like a very secure way to do it. Is there anything I can buy that clamps around the elbow? I...

So, my wife and I cant agree on the shower design... I'm sure this isn't a surprise for you experts. Anyhow, after hours of thinking, below is what I have come up with. The shower would have two shower doors. One that opens towards the toilet and one that opens toward the vanity. This way...

Tell me what you think. Double vanity being added on this wall. My main concern is the vent pipe distance. It snakes quite a bit.

I'm looking for a shower base that doesn't have the 3" lip that runs the perimeter of the base. I have a rental property that has a large shower and the base is completely smooth, "not level" it still slopes towards the drain but it doesn't hump up 3" inches at the wall. I can't seem to find any...
