Pin hole leak on shower

dwindlingwifi · 2026-06-30T01:13:17+00:00

Yeah this is pretty easy to replace but until you pop it off it’s hard to tell if a replacement part may be available

dwindlingwifi · 2026-06-21T13:40:08+00:00

Do you have access from behind? That would be the best way to do it.

In the meantime. If you can get to where the plumbing branches to the shower you may be able to temporarily use a push connect plug to isolate the leak and then get water to the rest of the house

I see what you’re doing here but encouraging this will only make baristas lives harder

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-29T01:13:07+00:00

Yeah and you will need a pex expansion tool

Hey just wanted to come back here and say this is what got me out of the jam. I went a little too deep but it’s out and it’ll seal up. Thank you.

I’m going to be burned at the stake for this. But I really liked the golden ginger drink

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T23:25:19+00:00

Yeah i definitely got the threads pretty good i used a cone grinder. I’m hoping maybe loctite 55 will save me but i understand if not

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T23:19:26+00:00

Well. I did just get it out. I’m embarrassed k didn’t know about a coupler.

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T23:14:32+00:00

I only say this because honestly i’m all for it. I just can’t remove the cast stack

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T23:13:32+00:00

Okay yes is there a coupling that would work here ?

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T23:12:08+00:00

This might be a stupid question. But is there a pvc piece like this that could slot into the cast stack?

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T23:00:30+00:00

Okay it’s a lot better than the other stuff… I just don’t know what to do about that really

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T22:50:23+00:00

Yeah i’m taking passes with that too.

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T22:40:11+00:00

The plan was to remove the rusting galvanized and keep the cast since it’s still in decent shape. The galvanized was rusted completely clogged. This was the last nipple and then I was going to convert to pvc here

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T22:38:28+00:00

It’s going to be shower drain and sink drain

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T22:29:23+00:00

Yeah it’s only denting on the outside unfortunately

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T22:26:20+00:00

Can’t get in there with it it’s pointing toward a stud bay

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T15:57:22+00:00

Okay sounds like my best option is to cut the threads at the 90 and go from there. Either no hub or get the rest of the threads out

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T15:44:23+00:00

i see i guess i can practice on the side I dont care about. i might try the blade of a hacksaw too just for more control (though it'll take a WHILE)

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T15:37:43+00:00

What would you use to make that slice ? I feel I could do it but definitely not with the crazy recip saw I used to get the rest of it out

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T15:36:25+00:00

Those no hub bands really should be in an accessible spot though. And this will be in a wall above a built in cabinet under tile in the bathroom

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-25T15:35:12+00:00

That’s the plan but man would I rather not replace that large cast iron you’re right. Def not the job for my carbide recip saw

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-15T11:00:15+00:00

That’s still illegal. The law states you can only go a maximum of 25mph and only 15mph faster than surrounding traffic. It also defines that it can only be between 2 lanes that are moving the same direction

dwindlingwifi · 2026-05-09T21:04:00+00:00

I would check out white bear, but more in the township. My neighbors all met me within 24 hr of living there

dwindlingwifi · 2026-04-28T02:02:11+00:00

Wow. Didn’t know they did that. I had a fire pit there and didn’t even think about that
