    Under window kitchen sink vent

    so there are different types of AAV's? If the AAV is two way, how would you create the vent piping under a sink to keep gases from coming back up and out the AAV? Maybe I don't understand the AAV very well.

    Kitchen sink venting height

    The existing vent does run about that 6" above the top of the counter top. And if I understand you correctly (and I apologize in advance if I don't), but since my lowering of the horizontal run would be below the top of the sinks or "flood level" I can get away with lowering it as long as I use...

    Kitchen sink venting height

    So my situation is this..opening up a half wall on back side of kitchen sink. Want to lower the overall height of the existing half wall, which means we will need to lower the sink vent as well. The vent takes a 90 degree turn at roughly coutertop height. My question; is there a specific height...

    Converting single bathroom sink to double sinks

    Hey Terry, which do you think is the better way, using a fixture tee (as in the new construction photo) or doing the fixtures individually (as in the "green background" photo)? In the green background photo, you mention a distance of 42" is that from the sanitary tee's up or from wye to wye?

    Converting single bathroom sink to double sinks

    quick question on this subject.. doing some reno work on my parents main bathroom on the second floor of their 80's split level. Their main bathroom has a 72" vanity and is plumbed for one sink. They wanted to put a double sink in so I was going to open up the wall behind the vanity and see what...

    double sink versus single sink

    Thanks HJ, when you say 2" from the "connection" are you saying the P-trap under each sink should be 2" or the "connection " inside the wall. Haven't opened it up yet so I don't know what is there. My assumption is that it will be 1-1/2" but we'll see, its 1982 construction - so I'm fairly...

    double sink versus single sink

    was looking to expand my bathroom and get a bigger vanity with a double sink. Going to be taking down the wall and expose the plumbing and venting. When plumbing for a double sink do I need to have more than just the 1-1/2" ABS? for the drains? I imaging that I can have 1-1/2" from sink to the...

    remodeling basement shower

    going to be using a Lasco Bathware two piece unit. (sold at HD) Is that a solid enough pan? It sounds like the best move is to mix up some self leveling cement (SLC) and lay that down, then build the floor up from that?

    remodeling basement shower

    there should be room. the shower pan will be sitting on a "raised" subfloor. that is, I am coming up off the cement slab 2-1/4" (1-1/2" + 3/4") to match the rest of the subfloor in the bathroom there. I know that the slab is a little uneven in the area under the shower. (debated about using a...

    remodeling basement shower

    Thanks for the replies. I was planning on replacing it with a one piece pan ( no mortar bed etc). It appears that the damage is mainly just the threads of that stub out. The section of the galvanized pipe just below the threads is intact and not very damaged. I'll have to take a closer look at...

    remodeling basement shower

    new to posting here. wanted to get some advice. I'm remodeling a shower in a basement. old fiberglass shower pan and subfloor removed. The drain is a galvanized pipe with about 2-3" exposed out of the concrete. The problem is, that the previous shower pan drain, was not connected very well and...
