Assuming you are going to replace it, I'd just use a recip saw with a fine metal cutting blade, or an angle grinder with a cutoff disc to cut through the bottom of the basket. You could probably even do it with a hacksaw, but it will take a while.
No harm in trying your way first...although it will stink a bit.
Thank you,CarbideTipped. I took your advice. I do not have suitable saw for that space, so I used a soldering iron to sever the flange. Yes, it stinks. The smoke went up, so it was not too bad underneath the sink.
Hi folks,
I am trying to install a shower slide bar (for a shower hand piece)
My problem is that the slider bar needs to be mounted to the wall with two screw anchors.
I'm concerned that there is a copper pipe going from the temperature controller to the shower head.
I've been burned before with trying to mount anchors into walls. The ones I needed to go into must have been bearing walls... solid concrete.
I suspect that there is drywall behind the marble in this bathroom but I'm worried that I might end up punching a hole through the show head pipe.
Any suggestions?
Thanks guys,
Doug
I am doing what I thought was a minor task under my kitchen sink. Noticed that pipes were bad so decided to change them...how hard could that be, right? Well, I have replaced pipes, a garbage disposal and the hardest challenge is switching out the sprayer hose from under the sink. Spent over an hour at local box store to be sent on my way...the gentleman did try his best but...I digress. This is my issue. 1) The first pic shows the sprayer hose that will be connected under the sink. 2) The second pic shows the attachments that came with the sprayer and hose. The black piece (that is connected to the grey piece) fits perfectly onto pic number 3, but this can't be right because the water is leaking from the connections that I have made. Any help would be much appreciated.
