Thanks. The p-trap for the tub in the basement has a clean-out in it - does that matter?

On the new waste and overflow drain that I am installing there are 3 possible configurations (direct, indirect down, and indirect rear). I am installing new dwv lines to the main stack so I can place the trap below in any location (open basement) so it is possible for me to use either the...

OK - here is what we have come up with (plumber) based upon recommendations from here. The toilet it now the lowest drain on the stack via a saniT (3") and has been separated from the upstairs drain. The clean-out was left on the end of the toliet run. The upstairs drain (from the sink) now...

Thanks so much - should the cleanout be left on the end of the 'toilet only' run or should I remove it and just have a 45 bend there (more cleanouts are better??). Is the double 45 bend a better performer than a wye with a 45? Also, does this configuration not mean that I am now 'wet venting'...

OK - you lost me. The vent for the toilet (and the etire main floor system) ties into the vent stack going through the roof in the attic space above all the drains in the upper floor. How does that make it a 'wet vent'? The drawing was not provided by the plumber to me - I did the drawing...

What type of connection should be used to tie the toilet into the stack? The only options are a Sanitary T or a 45 Wye, correct? And everything I have read states that a wye is preferable to a tee. This can certainly be changed to a saniT without issue if that is what it needs to be. Please...

Hello - first time poster here! The main floor bathroom in my home is being remodelled. It is smallish (8x8) and will include a tub, toilet and a vanity sink. The toilet and vanity sink will be along one wall with the tub on the opposite wall. The room is being completely gutted. The...
