Working on other bathroom now, everything requires a special tool.
29/32" shower valve wrench, don't make it 7/8" or 15/16":confused:
Special square valve seat tool, bigger than a 1/4" drive, smaller than 3/8":mad:
13/16" 6" deep socket, 6" deep sockets are common.:hammer:
And of course no one has my one of 16 million valves

How about a standard or two?
Every brand has there own, if you can even figure out what brand it is, no markings or part numbers on the parts.:mad:
I hate plumbing industry.

Off the soap box.:flaming:

I just found out this weekend, the pipe from the wall all the way up to my toilet is effectively one piece. (i.e. soldered).

And of course, it has a leak. :mad:

I feel your pain.

Better brush up on you soldering skills,;)
Mine are very well honed at this point.
Leave the valve open during soldering.

Or bend over for the "pros", I have not had any luck with this "profession", that is why I'm acquiring all the tools and "skills".

Need more young Mexicans trained in this industry, old fat ass butt crack white guys cannot perform these jobs to any level of expectations in my experience.
