Just got an email response back from Manabloc Tech Support: Paul, Unfortunately we do not offer a 3/4" port adapter for the ManaBloc and in most cases when a 3/4" line is required the installer will connect two 1/2" ports together with a 1/2" 90° elbow and a 3/4x1/2x1/2 tee running the 3/4...

I'm installing a Kohler 3 port digital shower valve system and they recommend 1/2 copper or 3/4 PEX supply lines (I'm assuming this is PEX B) With my Manabloc manifold I can only find 1/2 and 3/8 port adapters for PEX B. Does anyone know where I can find a 1/2 expansion type port adapter for...

Thanks for the feedback John

Here are my final plans to plumb the shower and in wall toilet while connecting to the existing drain and vent to the right. Vent goes vertical 3-4 more bays to the right. Everything look ok with this plan?

I'm installing a Toto in wall toilet in a 2x4 wall that required the 2x4 Duo Fit connection. The 3 inch connector is PVC but my existing plumbing is all ABS. I know Oatey has a green transition cement for PVC to ABS, just wanted to know if this is recommended or is there a better method to...

Hey Jeff, I think so, but I'll sketch up my plan and post it to get some feedback. Thanks for all the help!

That's the old shower drain...I still need to remove it.

Correct, the entire setup will be shifted to the right and the wye portion will be on the right of the joist so a 4" hole should work. I just placed it there so I could balance the mockup for the photo.

Thanks for the feedback, the p trap for the shower in the photo is the old shower which gets removed, and the entire setup gets shifted to the right 4-5 inches so the wye portion is to the right of the joist.

Wanted to get some feedback on my current setup for this in wall toilet. Nothing is glued yet, wanted to make sure everything looked good before gluing it up. I'll still need to cut a 3 1/2 inch hole through the joist.

It's one of two walls on the first floor for a hallway so there is another wall 3 feet away holding up the same floor joists. I will need to drill a 3 1/2 to 4" hole in a 2x10...probably close to the max if not exceeding it a bit...

How do you measure the branch distance, the total length of pipe or a direct line between the p-trap and the branch? If I draw a straight line between the two it's 7feet...

Thanks Jeff, The joists are just sitting on the supporting wall below so I agree, cutting a 3 - 3 1/2 inch hole in a 2x10 should work. The "Existing drain and vent" continue another few feet and pick up two sink drains and turns vertical up the wall and continue to a vent on the roof.

Agreed, there is a supporting wall directly below so I think I may be ok

Thanks for the feedback John, I like you're idea better. I assume you're talking about adding a 3x2 wye here correct?

Another idea I had is instead of using a 3x3x3x2 Hub, is using a Double 90 Hub with a 3 to 2 reducer to pick up the 2"drain. This would require me to move my 2" pipe one more bay to the left but I can do that easy enough...what do you guys think?

Unfortunately with the 2x4 wall I would end up removing an entire section of the stud to do that...

I'm trying to plan out my new plumbing to connect a wall hung toilet to and existing 2" drain and vent. In the image below the new wall hung toilet is covered in black plastic to help keep things clean. The old 3 inch drain is in the left bay and turns vertical down through a 2x4 supporting wall...

Hey Jeff, good point. Not taking the wall out below, can't image anyone ever would. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks Wayne, the Toto outlet will be vertical, I didn't do a very good job of labeling my drawing...the top image is looking at it horizontally, and the bottom drawing is looking at it from a birds eye view. I've done some more research and the combination tee isn't recommended in this case so...
