    Japanese shower fixtures- thread sizes???

    I have looked and looked and can not find anything in the US similar to the Japanese style shower fixtures. These are basically a faucet with a hand-held, surface mountable, shower head take-off.

    Japanese shower fixtures- thread sizes???

    I plan to order them from a supplier in Japan. I am sure they will not come with any adapters. While they do not sell the fixtures I want in the US, I guess my best move is to call the US rep and ask them, maybe they can find out....

    Shower room drain size???

    The two showers will supply roughly 2-3 gpm, the tub drain will be 1.5 or 2 inch diameter. The curb will be 4-6 inches. I know that the flow out of the tub will decrease as the water level decreases. I have written the equations but my calculus/differential equation solving is a bit rusty...

    Please comment on my plumbing system design....

    Thank you for clarifying. I have figured out a way to route a vent from that last sink to a tie in with the toilet vent which runs up to the main stack up on the second floor. It would be ok wouldn't it, to run that last drain line as drawn towards the oncoming line but have it drop in from...

    Please comment on my plumbing system design....

    Thank you very much for your comments- I really appreciate it... Could you explain what you mean by a "backwards connection"? Do you mean having two drain flows coming at each other and meeting together where the line exits to the septic tank? Similarly, does the "end clean out" refer to...
