Most difficult fixture - Page 4 - Plumbing Zone

First I would say if the soaker tub is sitting on tile, the tub could crack. the tub needs to sit on the floor possibly in morter or compound or whatever , and if the carpenter and tile guy are ok i figure to leave about 1 1/4 " over ruff frame to lip so they can slide board and tile under the valve trim of course goes last. also in the north east I very rearly see 3 inspections as most homes have basements w/ horizontal build. sewers above floor height.

Not setting one right now but have in the past and the guest house I'm roughing in now will have one. A Kohler Persuede water closet. They suck.

How about a 33x22 kitchen sink, on top of a 27" sink base cabinet, with a dishwasher next to it

. And of course they pick out the disposal that has the largest housing I have ever seen.

Looked great on the drawings

Ped Lav fo sho!

I'm really trying hard to think of a hard fixture to set. And I agree with the earlier posts, if the rough-in is done correctly, nothing during trim is hard. Somethings it might take a little more time then others do to size or weight but that shouldn't be confused with difficulty. I once hooked up a ten foot tall six foot diameter clear martini glass bath tub. It wasn't too hard just time consuming.

Hate them with a passion. I now always ask if it's a Toto when someone wants a Pedestal installed and if so I explain and price accordingly.

you got that right!!!!!!! it seems that most of this high end pedestal sinks are a big pain in the a$$$$$$$$$$

i would have to say that the most difficult i have installed wasn't due to the difficulty of the independent fixtures itself, but due to the many components i had to fit into this dentist's cabinet:

pedestal sink, two rpzs (hot and cold feeds) for the instrument washer with drain running into the tailpiece wye branch, reverse osmosis system with sliding five component filtration system, trap primer for the hub drain, the routing of the rpz drains also to the hub drain, two compartment sink. think spaghetti. will have to pull the pic off my phone to post.

apologies to my previous post. i meant to say a sink with foot pedals, not a pedestal sink
