Hello everyone, I am doing a remodel and have tied my new bath drain into a conveniently placed existing vent. Based on my research I thought it would be okay in this circumstance but am now questioning the setup and looking for a second or third opinion. The new bath drain ties into the...

How does this layout look? I have a very small amount of height to work with and I'm trying to retain the main 3" abs pipe's slope. Also the setup is ending up kind of backwards with the toilet at the start of the plumbing run instead of the end. . Unlabeled drawing is an elevation view of...

I have a single-zone sprinkler system that keeps watering even if the system is off or unplugged. The only way the water stops is if the water is manually shut off. Anytime the handle is in the on position, the water at the sprinklers will run. I've tried: Bleeding the Rain Bird unit Removing...

So I have a 2 pipe well pump that pumps water from my 60ft well, there’s 38 ft of water in there and 55ft of pipe. Recently I had a bunch of mud stir up in the bottom and get sucked into my pump. So I replaced my foot valve and a whole new water filter housing and filter. The water runs out of...

How do you remove this cartridge? I am looking for a nut or a pin and I am having no such looking trying to remove this. Maybe this one has a special trick to release it? I am thinking about replacing this to see if the leak will stop. Any other suggestions?

Hello all. Ive been having a problem with my toilet and was hoping to get some help. My toilet has been making a constant nonstop hissing noise. I tried tightening the screw on the fill valve holding the float, but ran into another problem. By tightening the screw, I am lowering the waterline...

Homeowner here, I'm NOT a plumber, but I was hoping I could find someone on a forum to help me as I've had high success rates in the past with this. Please see attached pictures. So one morning I was taking a shower, and the handle straight up snapped off. This is what I am left with. I could...

Hi there! My wife and I recently bought our first detached home! We bought a Moen Trim Kit for our upstairs bathroom, however, when the plumber we hired to install it (among many other things) came to do the work, he said he could not install it because he has never seen this valve before...

I'm trying to do something nice for my dad and update his shower fixtures. I know it's a Moen kit that is currently on it and I know I have to stick with Moen. But I've never really messed with anything like this before. My question is, how do I determine which model I need to get? I have...

Hi everyone, I need to know what I should do to correct this. The white pipe coming out of the wall pipe is wrong, I am pretty sure. What is the name of the part I should use to properly plumb this waste tube? Do I use a charlotte pipe/reducer? It's a 1.5 inch diameter opening on the pipe but...

We had a new shower installed a few months ago, and consistently get a loud whistling sound when we turn the shower temp hotter. The contractor and his plumber have been back twice, (1) flushed out the shower head, and (2) the 2nd time flushed out the hot/cold value. Both times did not fix the...
