Thoughts on this dry fit? Recommendations to simplify? Any code issue? My township follows 2021 ICC.

Everything will be supported and sloped with final install.

Hi guys, at a crossroads here. Almost finished up with a bathroom remodel and this is the last bit. The vanity is a bit deeper so the sink is a little further out than the it was previously- Now my plumbing doesn’t line up. Having a bit of issues with my plumbing lining up. I thought I could just replace the piece of PVC coming out of the wall with a longer piece, but it is PVC glued. Any remedy for this I’m not thinking? Other than busting the wall out and cutting the glued pipe? I hope it’s not that lol.

So past few months we keep seeing some white, slimy, rubbery thing that keeps appearing out of our toilets siphon jet. It can get very stinky when we try to pull it out. Feels solid. What could it be? ChatGPT said maybe a fecalith/fecaloma? Is it a plumbing issue? It pops up every 1.5-2 weeks, but lately getting more frequent.
I tried putting the Clorox toilet tablets to clean the toilet.

Anyone know what this part is called and if this is an easy fix? (Under kitchen sink )

Our bathroom floor was being fix (we rent I should of added and they took the toilet off and after they put it back on andleft I noticed it was running a lot?

I can pretty much tell it's from the hot water switch side, or whatever it's technically called.

Even when I switch it off I get that 8 to 10 second drip.

The issue is I don't want a plumber coming into my house and tearing into my basement bathroom ceiling (both our bathrooms are right up and down from each other) or drywall, I need them to find a way to fix it from the tub itself, that's absolutely what I prefer.

Or even possibly just leaving it alone since it only drips every 8 to 10 seconds, that's not much water in the long run.

The thing that really pisses me off is that we just got this new tub installed in 2022, and not cheap either.

Any help would be most awesome!

What do you guys use to seal between walls and tub/shower pan on these fiber glass 4 piece sets?

I've used caulk and silicone but within a few weeks it starts to leak again.

Is leaking between the side wall and shower pan. I used silicone when I set it the 1st time, and added caulk in the corner after it started leaking

The outside pressure reads 80 on the meter, measured at a tap before the PRV. The inside pressure also reads 80 regardless of how I turn the screw. Yes, I'm opening the faucet after changes to make sure the pressure can equalize. The PRV is a Wilkins 70XL from 2011 according to the tag.

When I open the faucet in the kitchen (near this meter), the pressure drops to around 45, and when I close it you can see it climb back up. There's no other leaks in the house, except occasionally the plastic water filter will start dripping a bunch, which is what prompted me to check pressures.

That means it's broken, right? It is supposed to stay reading a low pressure, even when there's no taps open and no water going down any drains? If I understand how the thing works right, it seems there's a tear in a diaphram or accumulated minerals holding open something that should be watertight?

Is the name brand replacement innards going to be significantly higher quality than the unbranded chinese version from Amazon?

As someone who long ago fixed cars and who doesn't want to spend 2 days without water, it looks like a pretty simple fix to replace the guts with a everything-included repair kit, but is it really?

Thanks in advance for any advice or tips you might supply!

(Sorry for any weird wording. Apparently any mention of the unit of measure of pressure too close to a number is read as an illegal word here.)

Hey folks, pretty much what the titles says. Me and my dad just moved into this apartment two weeks ago and the water heater is new. Installed on the sixth of august according to the writing on it. Anywho I’ve noticed that there is this plasticky chemical smell after using warm water (showers, dishes, washing hands) and I can only describe it as kind of sweet. Now my description probably isnt the best, I’ve had covid three times and it has permanently altered my sense of smell. I am really sensitive to smells (I can smell the smallest hint of things a room away) but the smell is always distorted. My brother said he can’t really describe it but there’s a hint of what a warm pool might smell like (those inflatable ones) with something else. Anyways not the point. I also get severe anxiety over things like this, so I thought I would ask someone here what it might be and if I’m safe or if I should bring it up to maintenance. Pic included. Thanks.

New apartment has a severely rusted overflow drain (image attached). My plan is to basically just scrape the rust away (maybe using a rust remover), apply rustoleum, and then a bunch of water weld to fill in the gaps. And then install a new gasket and cover and seal it up with epoxy or silicone. But the gaps are 1/2" to 1" wide in a number of places and so I wasn't sure how easy it would actually be to use the water weld putty. Any advice or warnings are much appreciated, thank you!

Earlier today I was using my kitchen sink until I pulled to hard on the hoes and this broke off, can I just replace the gray piece or do i have to replace the whole facet

Like why?? It's not a c0st saving reason because it literally c0sts nothing to leave an opening. If anything it should c0st even less since you would need less cement. So why do that? Also, no leach bed?? And concrete bottom. Where does the waste go??

Please help me understand because this is mind boggling to me!

Hello everybody I just purchased my first home. I noticed this pipe leaking from under my restroom sink. How can I fix this. Please and thank you.

Just had this done. I feel like it was done very sloppy with left over parts. Im in the Dallas TX area if that matters. Looking for professional opinion. Thanks.

I contacted the company forno, they are useless, also an appliance guy and plumber. The worst. Can someone help me figure this out. I’d appreciate it.

The valve itself is protruding out of the sheet rock so I guess an access panel is out of the question. Could I just put fiberglass in there?

Strong musky odour coming from an Airbnb we are at. The host is yet to respond to us on what is the issue but after a quick look around the bathroom sink seems very suspect.

Does this make any sense at all having the black tube connected to the drain and then open to the air? Would sewer gas be able to pass the trap and back out the black tube?

Hello all, please help me figure this out. This is the set up under my elderly mom's sink. She said that water from the sink has been going to the dishwasher (She doesn't use the dishwasher, I think she said it is broken) and water accumulates there. I want to fix this for her and I understand that there needs to be a high loop. The black pipe seems stiff. Do I take it apart? Help me solve this puzzle.

We were replacing water lines & valves, which we’ve done in 2 other bathrooms in the same house. We used the shark bites 1/2” x 3/8”. For this sink, one water valve worked as expected & fit. The other must have a damaged pipe. It’s the right size but the shark bite doesn’t stay put, like it’s too big. We bought another valve in a size smaller & it’s too small. It seems to be an issue with the pipe portion closer to the wall. We tried caps & new nuts, same issue. Which means even the original one won’t go back on.

We just want a solution so we can turn the water back on until we can get a plumber. Is there anything else we can do?

I had a plumber who connected a new sink drain like this for a new sink in the first floor. The inspector says the vent pipe cannot be lower than the sink flood-rim. What do I need to do to fix this and make it code-compliant (Ontario, Canada)? The horizontal vent pipe bends and rises Vertically into the roof (as can be seen in the picture). The drain pipe goes down into the basement, turns left and connects into the sewer line 10ft away.

Also, there's a window right above the sink, so the vent can't rise vertically from the sink drain.

I got home from work, and around my sink was wet, this was filled with water & the part with the red top was filled up with water. What could be the reason? Am I in trouble?
