Hi All, My Dad is a snowbird - NY/FL - in the winter, the NY house is shut down - in the summer, the toilet sweats to the point there is a puddle! After a couple years of threatening, I will install an anti-sweat valve - it occured to me that it has check valves to prevent the comingling of...

Hi All - What are the requirement for hangers on the horizontal in this situation - about 48" of PVC and 62" between the hangers on the CI. The wood blocks attached to the wall maintain the gap behind the pipe. as you can see, i like the color purple, and the neat streaks it makes when...

Hi all, working on some last supply side items to get ready for rough plumbing and i have two ways to go - situation: it is a laundry and bath group on a first floor, full basement underneath Choices: there are places i can tie into existing copper inside the wall - which means...

I'm splicing a new clothes washer drain into my main stack - the stack is is 3" copper. The stud may need to be notched depending on the solution here. I may also swap the valve/drain position for more clearance. anyway, our inspector requires 10lbs of air, or 15' of head as a test - this...

This was going to be so easy - slide a 2" vent up through a gap between a door frame (jack stud), and the perpendicular closet wall. drilled up, and found that the 2" pipe would not fit in the gap - just a hair too big - I have other options, but they mess with my plans for an A/C vent, and...

I'm staring at a picture of a horizontal wet vent figures 9.13 & 9.14 in the 2003 intl plumbing code book - here is a link - i'm 95% sure that is what we uses as of last year sometime. this example is a back-to-back bath group (terminology check?) with a single vent - it looks wet, and it...

This just occured to me - i'm planning on adding a bath group, and will have a vertical 3" pvc into a 4x4x3 combo on its back joining 4" cast - i was going to go with two hubless/banded couplings to splice this into the horizontal run. perhaps relevant info: there is a 2nd story bath (on...

I searched around, but didn't get a direct answer in the forums... Is it code compliant to put a banded coupler inside a wall without an inspection panel? I need to increase a drain from 1.5" to 2" for a washing machine. My plan was to insert PVC into a 3" copper main stack. I'm putting a...

What plumbing visualization software is this? What software did 'orbea1' use to create this? I pm'd last week, but didn't hear back...did some google searches also, no luck. https://terrylove.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18195 thanks!

Here is one that is perplexing me a bit. I am moving a full bath and laundry room to prepare for a kitchen expansion - the Laundry room will share a wall with the bath, and will have kitchen height cabinets w/drop in sink - this sink will be back-to-back with the lav. if i use a back-to-back...
