It's form over function at K/BIS

BY ROBERT P. MADER OF CONTRACTOR'S STAFF You're not just washing your hands or a dish, you're living a lifestyle and plumbing manufacturers are happy to help. When the home builders met in Orlando, Fla., in January, their show was all about function (April, pg. 39) . The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show , on the contrary, is all about pizzazz. While the show covers everything one will find in a kitchen or bathroom, the 60,000 designers, contractors and remodelors at this year's show in April in Chicago saw plenty of plumbing products . High-tech plumbing Kohler has entered the programmable shower market with its DTV custom showering system . Featuring the DTV Digital Interface and DTV Digital Shower Valve , the product offers customized shower experiences with multiple showerheads, hand showers and body sprays. The DTV's pre- set hydrotherapy experiences include up, down and wave massage, as well as temperature therapy that can ...

Hi, I have a Bathtub Shower Valve that is not working. (The middle one that turns the Shower head on) I would like to know how to remove it from the wall. I bought the Wrench Socket set for it already. It is an American Stanard Faucet (about 20 years old). 1. I unscrewed the Cap (covering the screw) 2. I removed the screw Now, I thought that I was supposed to just pull the handle off. It seems to be stuck or am I supposed to remove something else? Also, do I have to turn off the main water supply ? or do I just shut the hot and cold knobs in the shower? Thanks for your help.

What to Expect by Rick Steves

European bathrooms can be quirky by American standards. Your hotel’s WC may come with luxurious heated towel racks — or a rattling fan and leaky sink. Just keep an open mind, and remember that nothing beats a good bathroom story when you get home. No matter what, my advice is to wash up quickly and get out and about in the place you came to enjoy. First, don’t expect big spaces . Over the years, hotel owners have carved out chunks of elegant bedrooms to shoehorn in prefab private bathrooms — and they can be very tight. Counter space is often limited, and showers can be surprisingly tight, especially if you’re a larger person.
