Got a Vigo shower panel, out of the wall it needs 1/2" mips fittings. As per their manual the threaded part face up. Should I use brass or copper fittings? Does it even matter ? Thanks

Did a lot of reading today. 1. Pitch issue, I think I can fix it, if I understand correctly I am allowed 135 change of direction from the trap to the 3" pipe. Is that in the horizontal plane only? Can someone pls confirm. My plan is to go with 1/4 per foot pitch as close as possible to the 3x3x2...

Terry, Is this the venting 90 that is wrong ?

The trap is almost resting on the laundry room ceiling, cannot drop it anymore. The other end of the 2" pipe is tied into a 3" and is 1" away from a sistered joist The original vent was thru the right I just used the same one. From the wye I go slightly up and towards the trap with a 90...

The pipe ends in a 3x3x2 wye. Here is a picture: And here is the reference to a maximum slope of 3" per foot: http://www.doityourself.com/stry/drain-pipe-slope-calculation

Thanks for your reply, was asking about the maximum slope.

Upgraded the drain to 2", I understand the min slope is 1/4" per foot, is there a max ? Read somewhere about a max of 3" per foot, not sure if is reliable information. Currently the drain drops 4" in about 38", venting is done at 9" from the trap weir. Thanks much,

Hello, Just finished upgrading a shower drain to 2", I cut out the 3x3x 1.5 wye and replaced it with a 3 x3x 2, I used 3" shielded no hub couplings . I am weekend warrior, I dont own a 60 lb 5/16" torque wrench, looking for suggestions on how much to tighten the screws without damaging the...

I am almost done tiling the bathroom floor and the old flange sits underneath the finished floor.. If I use a waxless ring like the one in the picture do I still need to add a 1/4" flange extender ? Also I read somewhere that waxless rings might not be the best choice for some toilets. Can...

Thanks. The 2" pipe has a vent at about 2 or 3 ' away from the p trap. Frank

one more question Would be possible to use a tee-wye combination instead of a wye ? I need to use fittings rather than hubs and I can find only 3x3x2 tee-wye fitting. thanks

hi, 2 quick questions: 1. can I cut out in a 3" ABS pipe, insert a 3x3x2 wye and use rubber couplings on both 3" sides ? My concern is about lateral movement. 2. my 2" drain makes two 90 degree turns - both horizontally - should I use those large 90 ell pieces ? Thanks

11/2 to 2 coupling Thanks much for the answers. Is using a 11/2 to 2" coupling to connect the new 2" pipe to the existing 3x3x11/2 wye an option ? Thanks, Frank

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the confusion - I was in a hurry and didn't explain enough what I need - I rented a demo hammer and dug all the way to the main stack. I need to replace the existing 1 1/2" drain with 2". I thought I will find a 2" pipe somewhere to attach the new shower...

Hi All, I am replacing a bathtub with a shower. The drain is 1 1/2 all the way to the main horizontal stack. Please take a look at the attaached picture and let me know if my plan is OK ? Is the toilet flange to close to the new wye ? The distance is about 11". Thanks much

I just purchased a 2 pieces toilet and I noticed the the waste horn diameter is only 2". Is this the standard ? I thought size matter and the diameter should be bigger. Thanks

Hi, Thanks for your answers. It was one of those thermo vs pressure balance confusion. Frank

Hi Mike, Actually I will replace a bathtub with a ceramic shower see the attached pic thanks
