Thanks for the replies. Would bath fan venting out the wall rather than the roof make a difference? I figured the damper isn't the most reliable thing for this intent. If I'm incorrect let me know. Thanks!

Is there a minimum distance between where the sink vent goes through the roof and where a bath fan exhaust goes through the roof? Seems if they are too close you could get sewer gas coming back through the bath fan. I did a search but couldn't find this specifically.

Okay, will do. I think I see what you mean now about why it needs that vent. I corrected the dishwasher line, too. Thanks for your help.

The vent is in the wall. I know this because the cabinet was removed to replace the drain under the foundation and replaced it all the way to the vent. Thanks for your help.

I have a three-basin kitchen sink with disposer in center. I will soon replace the sink and wondered if the current configuration is correct...I can't find a good source on how to set up the drain for a 3-basin sink (a good link would be appreciated). So currently the left basin has its own...

Okay, the cartridge says Hydroblast Italy and I think it's this one: http://www.griggindustries.com/page329.html The brass plate actually had QMF, not OMF, and this is their website: http://www.qmfco.com/index.htm but it looks like they fabricate for other people. Any help?

That thought did cross my mind. I will remodel this bath in the next year or so but just trying to update it a little to tide us over. Really hope someone can identify or at least have an idea of how to find a replacement trim set for a square-holed lever handle. I will have some time this...

I would like to replace the shower trim pieces but I can't figure out the markings. There are no numbers on the valve. The only place where it is marked is on the back of the big plate...it has P12040 and a little "omf" in a kind of oval. The handle lifts and turns side to side. The handle...

I am having trouble finding a double fixture cross locally and went online. I ordered one from a supplier but what I got was a sanitary cross instead. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Ideally it would be either 2" on all connections or 2" top and bottom with 1 1/2" on the sides. Thanks.

Wow, thanks for that great diagram! But I have more information. I took down the sheetrock on the toilet wall and broke out the concrete between the toilet and wall. The toilet vent and drain are in the wall behind the toilet. I think it's a 3 inch cast iron drain pipe and a 2 inch vent. I am...

bump Any thoughts?

I hear you that what's under the floor is what's important. Thanks. I have started demo and I have a few pictures to show. I haven't broken out the concrete but the wall is exposed and the tub is out. Hopefully this will at least give a closer notion of what's under the concrete before I...

Thanks for your opinions. I'll update as I know more and start demo to see what's in the walls.

Thanks for the comments, and sorry to have moved the thread on you, there. I figured the change in toilet location was going to be a bigger issue. And I truly understand that you need to see the exposed walls to know how things are vented, etc. Again, understanding the lack of information...

REPOSTED in plumbing Sorry, I reposted this one in plumbing...after looking more carefully the posts in this section are mostly non-plumbing related. Thanks
