Re: How to relocate the steam vent to the proper place
So in this case, it would be better to have you for a husband than a plumber. 😆EdTheHeaterMan said:This is a personal preference. If that radiator was in my home, since it looks like the bushing would come out easily, I would get a new full size plug. After the pipe joint compound set for a few weeks, I would clean off the excess with a wire brush at top and bottom plug and paint the plug the same color as the radiator. If the other side is in the same condition, I would also brush away any excess pipe joint compound and paint the fitting up to the valve union nut. I might even polish the nut and valve if it is brass than put a coat of clear lacquer on the polished valve to preserve the shine. I would not do that for a customer, because I charge too much and would not want them to get angry with the invoice for that service.

Re: Steam Valve
It looks about > ... < this big.
But it could be <...........>this big
Perhaps a picture with a reference next to it (like a ruler or a silver dollar) might help

Re: Limited options for a toilet waste pipe in concrete
"I would try to use some type of silicone so there would be a chance of removal down the road without cutting everything out. I had to do something similar in my own house."
Bad idea. If the drain ever stopped up it would be a leaking mess.
They make "Azek" (cellular pvc) in 4x8 sheets. That could be used to make a spacer.
Or a counter top manufacturer.
But if you had a half decent service plumber, who has a variety of closet flanges, that job would be done in less than an hour.
Of course that's probably a tee on its back..........

Re: A terrible steam tragedy in Brooklyn
Try getting a few estimates for granite countertops. I bet it'll be a whole different experience.

What were they thinking? Other than setting the... un, throne... on a raised platform to better survey the occupants domain, I can't think of anything...
