Liquid plumber or a good quality drain opener should disolve the foam things. Pour about a pint in and let it set for about 30 minutes, then flip the stopper up to seal off the drain. Run about 1/2 the tub full of hot water, open drain, and plunge rapidly with a plunger. This should fix your problem....(plumber 20 years)

SOURCE: the tub/water stopper...how do you take that off

The overflow drain / stopper lever has 2 screws holding it in place, place a rag over the drain and remove the 2 screws. then remove the drain assembly, it should slide right out. You can now clean the assembly, you may still need a piece of wire to fish the hair out.

SOURCE: drain stopper in the bathtub has come off how do

the stopper just sits in the hole. When you turn the knob the cable operates the piece that raises and lowers the drain plug. The weight of it and the suction of the water is what seals it....provided the o-ring is good on the plug.

SOURCE: Bathtub takes 3 mins to start draining. The drain

Might be the problem, especially when you can't get to those pipes, always use 2 inch. If you had a vent problem, the water would gurgle out very slow, and the toilet wouldn't flush. The 2 inch trap at the tub is a must, it will never clog, and you shouldn't have to worry about it. I'm surprised that they built it that way. Most drain lines are 3 inch with a vent at the farthest point, so all the smaller lines would be 2 inch all the way to the roof except for the p-traps at the sinks. Hope this helps.

Testimonial: "Thank you that helps a lot. "

SOURCE: can't unclog stubborn bathtub drain

find a local hardware store or depot with a plumbing department and get a drain auger, it is a long wire with a spring around it that ends in a few hooks you can use to manually remove the clog if chemical clog removers do not work.

The tub is clogged with hair

Few plumbing issues such as Dripping faucets. Running toilets. Leaky valves. Clogged bathtubs can be solved by our own trying few things.
1)Firstly lookout for what is causing blockage such as soap or hair inside the pipeline blocking water just pull it out from pipes.
2)Secondly use a plunger(Tool used by plumber to clear clog) pour some water in bathtub to cover the plunger block the overflow of water with rag.Place the plunger over drain pull up & down 5 to 6 times.
3)Lastly if still the clog is not cleared try out with snake a long flexible steel cable wound on a handle In a sink you just feed the snake down the drain, but on a bathtub you need to feed the snake down through the overflow plate opening. Start by feeding about 3 feet of the snake into the opening, turning it as you push it forward. You will feel some resistance as you work the snake through the trap under the drain, and the turning helps to move the head through the trap. The snake should either break up the clog by pushing its way through it, or your turning will hook the end of the snake onto the clog and you can pull it out.

After trying with above if still there is plumbing issue call sewer line repair services for help.

How do you set to work

Hi, I'm Peter. On this style of live trap the solid lid you see on one end is the door that falls when the trigger is tripped. There is usually a couple of heavy wire rods that is attached to the outer end of the door that is connected at a swivel point and an arm that leads down to the "dog" on the side of the cage about midways. This is just a bent piece of metal that rest on another bent piece of metal that goes through the side of the cage to the bait ( Trip/ Trigger, Pan ) You lift the door up and when you do the arm with the bend down by the side of the cage will be in position. While holding that 1st bent arm move the second bent arm that is attached inside to the bait pan, into position to rest against the 1st arm. It will look like two fingers bent at the last knuckle hooked to each other. I put the bait on the pan inside before I set it. The animal will go in touch the bait pan with it's mouth or paw releasing the two bent arms that are held together by the weight of the trap door. This allows the door to fall trapping the animal in the cage. Most of these traps have a carrying handle on top but you MUST be EXTREMELY careful when carrying these traps because if it gets to close to any part of your body or a finger gets too near for example you will get bit or scratched by a highly irritated confined scared animal. It may take a couple of tries to get use to setting it without the door falling but don't give up you will get the hang of it.

What is the proper cage size for 2 rabbits?

As a general rule the cage should be at least 4 times the size of the rabbit, but if your house permits - bigger is better. This is true especially if the rabbits will spend most of their time in the cage.

As a guide: larger rabbits need a cage of 30" by 36" and smaller rabbits (Less than 8 lbs): 24" by 36".

Try this great guide: http://www.therabbithouse.com/guide_size.asp

I am trying to figure out which is the drain...there's a cup in the front right corner of dishwasher bed (is that the drain)? there's also a filter like base that's screwed down but not with normal...

Normally the drain is in the center of the maching under the center wash arm. Some models have a food macerator or grinder installed as well that is made to grind smalls food and hard bits to avoid clogging the drain hoses. Most have some sort of grill or strainer over the drain area in the washers.

Kohler bathtub drain seems to be disconnected from control lever. This is the type with the "in bathtub stopper" that raises up and down to let water flow out. The stopper does not move up and down as it...

Okay, remove 2 phillips head screws at lever handle/overflow.

Pull firmly with much effort and bowing the connecting rod a bit.

Up will come a heavy duty spring on the end of the rod.(prolly a big slimly hair ball too!)

Hope you get the spring, cause that's what works the drain stop.

If spring doesn't come out you'll have to "fish" it out.

Clean everything up real good and flush drain good also now.

The "Secret" now is to put the Lever,rod and spring assembly back in and replace screws and get the lever flipped to the left BEFORE you put the Drain Stop in.

Bath tub drain

You need to replace the overflow cover with the lever on it.You can replace the entire piece or just the faceplate.There is a spring on most of these that holds the lever in place when thrown and that is the piece that is broken causing your issue. Thanks for using Fix Ya.
