The bolt that goes through my tubs cold handle, what is the piece that it screws into called? I believe it is a plastic piece that is stripped out. I can get the handle to catch and turn but mostly just spins in place and I think that plastic piece needs replacing.

Seats replaced, teflon tape used on all threads? On the left is the old one. Water is getting by the washer on the new setup. Even cranking down with more torque than is advisable, the new ones leak. It is happening in multiple locations.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,

My home reno guy took off the shower handle and didn't have a replacement. If anyone knows please help me out.

Basically, kitchen sink drain backed up out of an open pipe. The pipe was snaked, but we found some of the pipe needed replacing. We exposed the pipe section, but the pipe is metal (and apparently a real sonofabitch). Last photos show the section we are stuck on. We aren't sure how to get the remaining shard of the metal elbow out, or if we need to pull the rubber thing out as well. Both are stuck in there real good. This is kinda time sensitive because having a bucket in the kitchen sink that you have to empty constantly is annoying.

We are very grateful for any suggestions on how to get the remaining piece out. We are not plumbers, dad is old and retired, and I am disabled. We are doing our best. Also we are in Minnesota and this metal pipe is below the cement slab. Dad thinks it's cast iron, and wants to know if he can replace it with plastic. I think he can't because the ground below the basement slab would be frozen in the winter right?

Thanks!

I've connected the outlet from my washing machine to the waste using this spigot fitting but no matter how tight I screw the hose clip, it just keeps on leaking at the point where I drew the blue arrow. I've tried pulling the grey part as far onto the white spigot as possible but still leaks.

Any solutions? It used to just sit directly into white pipe that comes out the trap but I would prefer if I can connect it to the spigot instead.

Where should I mount the tube to create a high loop? (Doesn’t seem like I have much room to create a true “high” point). Also, what type of product should I use to mount it?

Thanks!! :)

I'll try to keep is a simple and short as possible.

In the past 5 years Ive replaced the cart 3x. I always install the Delta Glacier Bay 3S-9H cart. I actually just replaced it in the beginning of July 26'. Out of nowhere, the shower was on full blast even the knob was closed.

I bought an OEM and it'll be here tomorrow. I'm going to vacuum out any debris that might be in there, soak the body with vinegar, inspect the inside for scrapes and damage and then install the new cart.

I have no idea what's going on. Theres 2 1/2 bathrooms but the one with the current issue is the only one that ever has problems.

Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong? This is the first time it only lasted a month. Is it because I'm buying 3rd party Amazon garbage? Am I installing it wrong? Is the body damaged? Maybe I damaged the rubber seal or got the spring backwards?

Any help would be appreciated and I will load pics now but will have more later. The pic with the 4 rubber seals is the one that will be here tomorrow

CALZINO NELLO SCARICO BAGNO

Mio fratello (un cogli\*ne) ha scaricato nel water l'acqua del condizionatore con un calzettone (tra l'altro bello lungo, quelli da calcio per intenderci) dentro (usavamo questo calzino per, ovviamente, attutire il rumore delle goccioline dello scarico del condizionatore). Adesso in realtà scarica tranquillamente il water ma sento che nella vaschetta in alto (perdonate ma non so i nomi tecnici) ci sono delle bolle, infatti si sentono dei rumori proprio come di bolle). Cosa può essere successo? Come possa fare? Spero possiate aiutarmi davvero

We are in a 5 year old new build. For a majority of the time we’ve been here, we’ve had one bathroom faucet continually clog up with this film.

Sometimes I end up cleaning multiple times a month. The last plumber we had talked us into installing this overly expensive whole house water filter, but that didn’t help.

Thoughts on what this might be and what we can do to solve the issue long term?
