I always use basin wrenches in this type of a situation.

I'm glad you got it taken care of successfully. Your experience is interesting to me as 2 inch is the readily available standard In Minnesota where I live.

It is just a bar sink strainer. Every Big Box store or plumbing supply house should have it. You just have to ask for it by the right name bar sink strainer.

Perfect. Nice job.

Water heater is rusted out. Time to replace.

Appears to be Moen. Middle screw should be only screw, put it back in a few turns and then use the handle puller. Always have the screw in place when using a handle remover otherwise there is seldom a solid surface for the puller screw to push against.

Previous response was incorrect. Not having the hot connected to shower faucet is SUPPOSED to reduce the cold flow to little or nothing. Hook up the hot water and you should be fine. When only hot OR cold is connected to shower valve little or no water is supposed to come out. Faucet pressure...

No serious attempt has been made to unscrew that nipple. Big pipe wrench and a lot of elbow grease usually gets it out. Old nipple is ALWAYS destroyed during removal so that one looks untouched.

Save PVC couplings for outside irrigation projects only. Use brass unions.

Has all the tell tale signs of freeze damage. PEX is freeze burst resistant but that short piece is too short to allow much expansion without bursting. Is the pipe near an outside wall?

Make sure the suspected clogger holds down the flush handle until all waste is removed from the bowl. Remember quick flush for liquid waste, hold down the handle for solid waste. Not following this advice may result in clogs in any brand of water conserving toilet.

Call Pfister faucets back and have them give you technical assistance on how to replace the diverter. The phone person sometimes has to run to check with a tech so it takes a little bit of time but they've always been good at answering my questions.

I'm with Frodo (again jeez Frodo's always right...) on this issue, too many unknown variables. I would also check if a backflow preventer insert in the nipples on top of the water heater is sticking shut.

If it is the right shape and fits, I prefer the plastic in this application.

Yes, Rickyman called it, Price Pfister Avante. Call Pfister Faucet customer service and have them send you a new cartridge. Usually free!

Now that's just mean...

Mr_David nails it again. For sure Pfister. Call their customer service line and they will send you a new cartridge. Remove and re-use the brass extension from your current cartridge.

Looks like a standard gasket size for an old toilet. Replace what you have with a Fluidmaster Flush valve replacement kit and the gaskets are included.

I have not noted an inner diameter difference.
