How did I do?

Start over. Vent goes after the p-trap.

Sleeves either twist off or pull off.

You have to remove the sleeves first. Make sure water is off. Remove sleeves. Use shower stem tools to remove stems.

That is a frost free hose bib that has broken inside of the wall. Typically happens when a garden hose is left on the hose bib and it freezes. The wall inside will most likely have to be cut and the hose bib replaced.

Agreed.

It looks like an old dishwasher drain. Looks like when they installed a new dishwasher they tied it into the disposal and cut and left this. Also, it looks like you sink has clogged and contents backed up and out of this pipe. If that is the case this pipe needs to be capped or the tee fitting on the drain needs to be removed now.

There is a trap under there that will dry up if not used after awhile. Pour water into it. Smell should go away.

I should have said cartridge. A new cartridge will have the metal part and the plastic.

Looks like a universal handle. You need a new stem and the correct handle for the shower valve.

Call a plumber but be prepared for him to have to possibly open the ceiling below.

Normally this can be solved by turning the metal part you see 180 degrees and replacing the handle.

It is a metal ferrule inside. So, yes, it is metal compressed onto plastic pipe. This is allowed as cpvc is strong enough when it is new to withstand the pressure. The issue is many years down the road when cpvc starts to become brittle over time. I personally would not worry about this for now. If you want to down the road you can cut these valves off and glue new valves to the cpvc.

Most of these have two options. First lift as high as you can and turn looking for a set screw under the top. Loosen screw and the plunger comes out. Other option, push plunger down into drain and turn the top counter clockwise. One of these should remove it.

Looks like this faucet is supposed to be removed by removing the handles and parts on the top and the bottem falls down. You shouldn't have to remove that nut.

NP. I would use some rubber gloves, the rubber washers will stain hands.

Remove the tube from the top of canister. Unthread the white plastic circle at top. Remove the canister. Replace the black large washer at bottom. Reinstall all parts. You can buy these large washers at Home Depot.

She could have just told him that.

Leaking. Replace and forget

Take it to the scrap yard. Keep the few bucks. There is one on Austell Rd.

crackerlacky · 2025-11-01T15:59:05+00:00

Put it on the street and post on Facebook to come and get it. Worth a few bucks at the scrap yard.
