    Plumber installed double sanitary tee in back to back install of eco drakes

    Thank you all!! Plumber came by this am and looked at everything. His opinion was that the fitting was just fine and wouldn't cause me issues, said the water in that pipe wasn't anything to worry about. I disagree based on what I've read and said that given this great opportunity to do things...

    Plumber installed double sanitary tee in back to back install of eco drakes

    The plumber is coming over on Wed am to look at the cut beam and address my concerns on the type of fitting used. If he tells me the fitting is to code and that he installs them without issue would you still have him replace it to a wye fitting based on your experience dealing and reading of...

    Plumber installed double sanitary tee in back to back install of eco drakes

    Another issue we had was that after they did the work my husband noticed that they cut into the support beam. He asked the workers about this and they said it was fine, that if they didn't cut more than 50% they didn't need to brace it. My husband was upset saying that it wasn't right so I...

    Plumber installed double sanitary tee in back to back install of eco drakes

    The day he gave me the estimate he suggested the eco drakes. In conversation with his office that week I was debating between eco drakes and drake IIs. The day before install it was verified that I wanted the eco drake for the master, hall bath to be installed once we finished the bathroom, so...

    Plumber installed double sanitary tee in back to back install of eco drakes

    Thanks for the info! So are you saying to measure the dotted orange line or the solid orange line in my picture? If the solid then that is likely pretty darn close to 18 inches, the dotted would not be. My husband asked me this am since one toilet crosses over into the other drain line what...

    Plumber installed double sanitary tee in back to back install of eco drakes

    This makes me wonder why he stated it was to code so I looked up and found that I think that florida uses international building code which states "Exception: Back-to-back water closet connections to dou- ble sanitary tees shall be permitted where the horizontal developed length between the...

    Plumber installed double sanitary tee in back to back install of eco drakes

    The floor will be aprox where the red line is and the water came up to aprox where the blue line is. So are you saying with my lines in mind that you think it will slosh the water but not drain any out? (since the water to me appears to be below the outlet of the toilet)

    Plumber installed double sanitary tee in back to back install of eco drakes

    Thanks for the reply. We took the cap off the tube and flushed the other side and water came up the tube to about where the upper part of the elbow meets the straight vertical tube, so there is definitely cross over. . . whether this will cause siphoning of the other bowl we do not know, so...

    Actually got through to plumber on text, he said they used a 4" cross, it meets code and that they use it all the time without problems, said I could call for a more detailed explanation, I said no need if you say it will work good. . .so hopefully crisis averted, fingers crossed!

    HELP please- replace wall hung or go floor mounted?? pictures

    I see your point with consumer reports. . .I think given that so many love their eco drakes that that is what I will go with for the master bath install sch for this week. . .I'll put it to the husband test and if it passes we will install same toilet in hall bath, if we feel it leaves more to...

    HELP please- replace wall hung or go floor mounted?? pictures

    Thanks! The plumber didn't actually give me a price on the glenwalls, I was just basing that off online price info I found. I feel more comfortable going to floor toilets now that I see it can be affordable for us to do so. I also found the exact same tile that's in our master bath at a tile...
