Study Bath Re-Plumbing - Part 1


The water pressure has been a bit low in the study bathroom. And every once in a while we get a foul odor from near the toilet. So, it's time to do some re-plumbing...

I'd already replaced the old galvanized supply trunk with PEX when I'd re-done the laundry, so this isn't going to be that hard.

Saturday, I punched a couple of holes in the wall to remove the old galvanized supply lines for the sink and toilet. Note that the valve on the hot supply line is starting to fall apart between the shaft and the housing (top shut-off valve in the picture). It's too bad the old lines are badly corroded on the inside; these old shut-off valve are cool looking.

I had only a couple of hours between other commitments so was glad to get the sink's lines removed and the hole punched for the toilet.
