Can p-trap be installed higher than drain entry? S Traps are prohibited in BC (Canadian National Code as well), so make sure they are approved where you live. I believe that the issue/concern with them is that they promote self-siphonic action causing the seal to break. |

How can I replace a water pipe on the second floor without the need to damage the bathtub? Things to look for in the drain is: (1) The connection of the drain to the tub. This connection is often made with plumber's putty which can dry out and create leaks. (2) The connection of the tub overflow. I have seen it where it was not connected correctly and when the overflow devise in the tub was rotated 180 allowing water to leak when using the shower. |

Why is sewage backing up from this outdoor pipe? I don't think that this pipe is a vent or an old downspout connection. The pipe is most likely a cleanout installed on the building sewer as it leaves the building, which depending on your local code will most likely be a requirement. Usually you would have a proper cleanout fitting installed but here there have used a non-glued cap. Have the line scoped and cleaned/repaired but do not disable the use of this pipe to act as the cleanout. |

How can I add an ice maker water line? The copper tube in question is 3/8". The only tools that you'll need is a copper tube cutter and two crescent wrenches. This is a simple task, but the best advise is to take it slow and don't over tighten anything. When using the tube cutters, don't tighten them too quickly as you can deform the tube. When tightening the compression nuts, again, don't over tighten them as you can always tighten them more if they drip a little. |

How can I add an ice maker water line? The fittings in the original post are compression type and have a running thread. The coupling shown here has National Pipe Threads and are not compatible. |

What alternatives do I have to cap/plug the kitchen spray nozzle Tim, have you tired getting the model number by using Moen's website? You answer a series of questions and they try to determine the model that you have. You might be able to get a shop drawing or a parts list. Here's the site: moen.com/replacement-parts |
