Excellent, thanks again Peanut 9199. It was driving me crazy because I couldn't find it in any of the spec sheets - I thought something so crucial would certainly be there!

Peanut9199 thanks again for your help... So the stub-out that I place coming up from under the slab to go into the wall to connect to the Geberit wall mount bidet carrier should be 1.25 inch? And the rough-in drain stub-out for the Geberit wall mount toilet carrier should be 3 inch (measured...

Peanut9199, am I correct that the drain for the bidet is 1.5 inch (one and a half inch)? Rough-in is day after tomorrow! :eek:

jadnashua, thank you for responding. At first I didn't understand what would be more dangerous about a step down than a typical shower curb if they were of equivalent heights. Actually the step down initially seemed safer, because it always feels awkward to step over that curb, or worse yet...

Building a new house - my foundation guy is putting out form boards today and I am trying to get everything right. The custom built master shower will be "sunken" or in other words like a depressed spot in the slab. I would like to do either a shallow step down or even like a beach entry into...

Very entertaining, indeed! It always amazes me when someone goes on about "the code" as if it is a government conspiracy put in place simply to generate revenue or to infiltrate the psyche of the homeowner. That's crazy talk! The code is there for a good reason. Those of you who know the...

Peanut9199, thank you for responding. I'm looking at the Starck3, by the way, technical drawings at this link: http://www.duravit.com/products/categories/bidets/starck-3/bidet-wall-mounted--223015_2100_93613_useo6q3rvu.html I guess I wasn't reading that drawing correctly. So am I correct...

I am installing a Duravit wall mounted set, toilet and bidet, in my new house and I need to figure out the rough-in details. For the bidet, where does the P-trap go? There doesn't seem to be enough room between the fixture and the waste outlet on the mount. Do I need to install a trap for it in...

Ok, another Duravit wall mount question - this one is for the bidet, so I also posted this in the other forum. But where does the P-trap go? Is it between the bidet fixture and the mount? Or do I need to put a trap in the rough-in plumbing under the slab...

Ah, that clears it up. Thank you Peanut9199 !

You're right FloridaOrange, I should talk to the chief inspector and ask what he would like to see. I just hope he doesn't say he wants to see it all thrown out! :eek:

I'm looking at what to spec in regards to a wall hung unit in my new house. Will probably go with Duravit/Geberit. But a tempting wall hung option is on offer from Cheviot for a little bit less. This is a Canadian company which actually just imports, but the toilet and concealed tank are made...

Can't visualize what you're describing. Wouldn't the san tee still take us straight up from that 90? If the lavatory sink is vented could I just wet vent the toilet?

Florida Orange, thanks for your reply. I am posting the link to the geberit spec sheet. On I think page 2 of the PDF you can see a cut view from the side. Directly above that waste outlet where you would think a vent would go, the mechanism for the flush actuator is in the way. I don't think one...

I am a couple of weeks away from roughing in the plumbing on my new house. I want to use wall hung toilets and will probably go with Geberit concealed tank carrier mounts and Duravit toilet fixtures. My main question is how do you vent such a toilet? I have spec sheets for the in-wall...
