shower

Hi everyone, I’m putting together some shower lines with Sharkbite PEXb, and I keep finding mixed messages on bends. The bend in the attached photo runs from the valve to the wand drop ear. It’s wider than the 90° bend support (shown in the photo), but I’m curious on others thoughts. Would this...

A month ago we replaced the pressure tank & pressure switch as the bladder was busted. see previous post below to get info on the pump if needed. https://www.plumbingforums.com/threads/questions-about-my-well-pump.20049/#post-155643 After changing the pressure tank for the most part things...

A friend had a new shower fitted along with a pump but they find it too powerful for them as the person that uses it is in his 80's and it actually hurts him what with his skin being very thin. Its a Aqualisa ipx4 and I wondered if anyone can tell me if the flow rate could be reduced?

We are selling our home and need to install the trim for our shower. I called and sought local help, no one seems to know. We renovated the shower a year ago but didn't keep the trim or think to replace the value. I don't want to have to remove and replace the tile. Does anyone have any idea...

I've read what I could about this topic and have made a number of changes but still have the problem. I am renovating a house and one of the showers I ran 1/2" PEX from the valve to the shower head. When I turned on the tub faucet it would drip quite a lot from the shower head. I never...

Greetings. We’re looking to install a glass shower enclosure in a corner in a guest bath in a California. The existing space we have to work with is ‘very’ tight in all directions (see attached plan). When I Google the minimum allowed size, most of the home improvement websites cite 30” x 30”...

Hi everyone, I am having a serious issue with my newly remodeled guest house shower. See attached pic. Every day that I check by turning on the shower, sewer smell comes out from the new shower drain. It also happens when I flush the toilet first, before turning on the shower. The smell...

Hi, I have my bathroom done up last year. The builder forgot to put the waterproof cap on the shower, now it is getting rusty inside. I wonder if anyone know where to buy this cap? I am not even sure what it is called? Thanks Read more: Shower waterproof cap

The screw from my shower handle fell off. I don’t know what brand it is. My tenant sent some pictures. Any idea what screw I can use?

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 hoping someone can identify this cast iron canister connected to the drain line of a stand-up shower in a house built in the 1940's, it's about 5.5 inches (14cm) tall, has a removable top and has no markings that I can see. I wouldn't bother, but the drain began leaking and I need to know...

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...

Hey all, happy holidays. I am finishing the basement and the home came with a "builder" rough in for a bathroom down there. I've completed the toilet, vanity and shower water supply lines. Looking at where the shower drain is, its off center. I'm not sure what to do with it or what I am really...

Hi, my question is when I start my shower I have to put it to almost 50% on the hot side. Then after 5 minutes the water gets colder (Luke warm). Then i turn the knob a little hotter, right after 5 min it gets colder again. What could be the cause of this?

How d0 I replace this fixture in my shower. Any feedback, who could be the manufacturer. I opened the screw, but cannot figure out how to take out the outer layer

The shower was far too hot for this Summer even on lowest setting. I've taken off the cap and screw which led to the heat dial coming off, and now I'm facing this toothy something, and not sure what to do next. I've tried researching it, but I cant find many similar shower heads and without the...

Hello all. Very new to this scene. here is a zoo of water lines that connect throughout my house. I was planning on tiling the this shower floor and walls. (A fiberglass shower and base pan were here previously) Does anyone have suggestions or advice as to keeping this plumbing how it is? Does...

Ah, the joys of older home ownership (1974). We thought our major plumbing issues were dealt with when we got rid of our orangeburg sewer line and our rusted out galvanized supply line to our house. It's still galvanized under the house, but we live in a very dry climate and the pipes/joints...

I am working on an outdoor shower to put on top of my van, but I spent hours at home depot trying to find the right hardware to fit things together. I am a complete newb, so any advice on finding the right parts is much appreciated. Here is my kindergarten cartoon of the idea: The tube on top...

Hello! Just some background I live In a Tiny House which is setup like an RV with a RV hose, on someones property/ well water. I have avoided showering/bathing because of the water and taste ( when brushing my teeth), Originally I thought it was hard water but after getting quotes for possible...
