Introduction

Plumbing can seem like an overwhelming part of home DIY. Walk down any plumbing aisle in a large home improvement center, or even your local hardware store, and the vast array of fittings, pipe, and tubing types and accessories can seem endlessly complex. How do they all go together? Which material is best? The questions quickly mount. But you can rest assured that tackling your own home plumbing issues, improvements, and repairs is not only entirely doable, but it will also save you big money. The really good news? All your home plumbing follows basic principles and commonsense guidelines, and is dictated by simple hydro science.

Plumbing Tools, Materials & Skills

Many plumbing projects and repairs can be completed with basic hand tools you probably already own. Adding a few simple plumbing tools will prepare you for all the projects in this book. Specialty tools, such as a snap cutter or appliance dolly, are available at rental centers. When buying tools, invest in quality products.

Installation Basics

To ensure that your project goes quickly, always buy plenty of pipe and fittings-at least 25 percent more than you think you need. Making several extra trips to the building center is a nuisance and can add many hours to your project. Always purchase from a reputable retailer that will allow you to return leftover fittings for credit.

Toilets

Whenever you’re looking to replace an existing toilet or buy a new one for a bathroom addition, pay careful attention to the details. Although toilets look remarkably similar and all perform the same function, there are several variations in shape, size, construction, and flushing technology.

Common Toilet Problems

If minor adjustments do not fix the problem, further repairs will be needed. The parts of a standard toilet are not difficult to take apart, and most repair projects can be completed in less than an hour. Common problems include toilet handle sticks or is hard to push, toilet will not flush at all, there is water on the floor around the toilet, and more. All of which can be easy fixes.
