Toured my house with a plumber yesterday. He looked at a couple of PVC drain lines that I had installed 20 years ago and pointed out that two of the 2" sanitary tees were installed with the curve in the wrong direction. Both tees connected pipes that were part of the vent system, one for a shower and one for a vanity. They went directly to the attic and tied into the house vent. He said it didn't matter, they were wrong and he would have to replace most of the PVC pipes in that bathroom. Whatever happened to the three rules of plumbing? 1. Water seeks it's own level 2. "Stuff" floats 3. [b][u]Air don't care[/u][/b] I agree that the tees are in wrong but in this case does it matter? The plumber is working from an already agreed contract price so he's not trying to pad the job.

Howdy, I've lived in this this house for 15 years, several years ago I replaced this spout with one from the store, it was a simple buy and replace procedure at the time. I recall it just screwed right on. However, now the diverter is starting to give problems and I want to replace this tub spout again, but this attachment seems to have been welded on by the contractor when the house was built. I've been to Home Depot and the local hardware store and none seem to be any kind of simple screw on replacement as all of the new one's I'm finding are of a smaller diameter fitting. Any advice like what brand or type I need to be looking for? I apologize because I hate plumbing and pipe work, I'm much more comfortable dealing with electrical. Thank in advance. Ferris
