Tom, I am drawing something up now and will take pictures.

Tom, if you wouldn't mind having a look at this and answering I would be extremely grateful.

I just bought a couple of BrassCraft 1/4 turn angle ball stop valves for my laundry sink replacement. The look like they will work well. I will let you know after I install them. I got them at Home...

Chad, it's actually called a "ball & waste". Here's basically what you're looking for (from watts.com):

I'm not sure about the supported along the edge part, and I'm having trouble finding any instructions on installing them, so I can't confirm that. It may well be true though since they are made from...

There definitely would not be enough support for a one-piece enclosure if you have a square foot of opening beneath the drain area. Can't you dry-fit the piping and enclosure? You should be able to...

I agree with BillyRay, you need to change your valve's cartridge. There is a problem with either the o-rings or the valving on the hot side of the cartridge that is causing the issue.

My pleasure Doug, glad I could help. Please do report back and let us know what it was!

Is there water in the bowl above the top of the drain opening?
When it was replaced, was all of the old wax seal scraped off of the toilet flange and the flange cleaned to ensure a good seal?

It almost sounds like the ejector pump has something in the catch basin it can't handle, and is overheating from the lack of flow. Have you checked the basin to see if there's anything that got down...

First off, congratulations on building your own house! That must be one heck of a sense of accomplishment. I'm envious!

If I'm reading this correctly:


Kitchen sink to tub is 2", bath to...

It's most likely an electrical problem. You have a dead short or overload somewhere on that circuit. That is why your breaker trips. Sounds most likely to be a short, since it only takes a matter of...

Is this a storage-type water heater or instant?
When did this start? Has it been gradual or sudden?
Do you ever get any hot or lukewarm water in the master bath?
Have you made any plumbing...

I think that depends on what the pan is made of, what's around it, and if it's filled with mortar, etc. from the old tile or if it is just a plain pan (e.g. the tile you removed mentioning above was...

I just want to clarify, this is a hydronic heating system correct? From what I know of hydronic heating, this could be several things.

It is not out of the question for the heating coils to...

You need to connect the shower drain between the tee off to the sink and the wye into the main 3"-4" drain pipe. This would be an allowed wet vent.

Or you could cut out a section of the main (it...

Last things first: The drain for a stop and waste ball valve goes on the "off" or feed side of the valve, not the supply side. It is to drain the house plumbing, not your connection to the street. A...

Did this sound just start happening, or has it been slowly increasing? My guess would be that it is a worn or damaged fill valve. It could also be a failure of the shut-off valve that is below the...

It sounds like you have a clog in your drain somewhere downstream of your laundry and bathroom. Do you happen to know how your plumbing is laid out? Is the laundry upstream of the bathroom? Have you...

I need some advice on the design of DWV for replacing a laundry sink/tub/tray drain with a longer branch to include both the replacement laundry sink, and a new standpipe for the washer & water...
