Cool, thanks. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but could you walk me through how to tie-in the kitchen and lav vents with those fittings? I'm having trouble visualizing it...

Sorry, duh: wherever I said TY, I meant to say combo...

Hi. We are renovating our kitchen and adding an adjacent half-bath. This is our very first plumbing project, and we wanted to run our DWV rough-in by you experts to get your input. Here is a drawing of our current plan: http://freepdfhosting.com/08990ebc90.pdf The picture shows the back...

Sorry if I was unclear -- we will actually be building the wall (using old lumber from another wall we tore down), so I guess we could predrill the holes and wouldn't actually need the right angle -- but it sounds like in any case we would need the power of a 1/2" drill to bore that big of a...
