When you used that handle puller..... was a little bit of the small pin still showing ?
If not.... the threaded part hits the top of the knob and won't act like a puller.
That pin needs to hit the bottom of the valve shaft to work properly.
The puller I use is a little different. You loosen the screw and the puller pushes off that.
Sometimes I'll put a longer screw in the handle to push off of.
Some PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench or any type of rust eater down the screw hole can help.
Hi folks!
In all the bathtub installations I have seen, the drain from the tub always turns towards and connects to the overflow drain which goes down to the p-trap. Is it possible to have the overflow pipe turn towards and connect to the bathtubs drain pipe which would go directly to the p-trap? In this scenario, the water from the tub would flow directly to the p-trap.
While on this subject... why do all bathtub drawings show only the tub's drain opening location and not the overflow's location (where the overflow pipe lands at the tub's base) which is where your actual drain plumbing needs to connect to? Some drawings of tubs show an almost centrally located tub drain which seems to be quite a ways from the overflow pipe.
Thanks
My house was built in 1974 and the old toilet (from 1974) had a 1/2 inch space between the toilet tank and wall. The bathroom has a 12" rough-in that I measured from the wall to the center of the toilet flange (where the toilet bolts are located).
I just installed a new Kohler toilet with 12" rough-in but the tank rubs against the wall with no space.
Please advise feedback to correct my issue.
Thanks
