I have a crack in my soil stack between the first and second floor. I assume the pipe runs vertically, venting through the roof. On the second floor, there are 2 full baths that share a wall. Most of the fixtures are not in proximity to the main pipe, and I have no idea what type of connections...

I've been on the 8 year plan for finishing my basement. But THIS is the year I actually do it. As part of it, I'm going to be putting in a bathroom. The house is 100+ ;years old, so who knows what's going on. However, I have floor drains, and presumably a cast pipe going down the center of the...

Am about to install a new Rheem Platinum gas WH to replace my 40 gal 1988 (!) unit, which has recently started leaking. I believe the new unit has integral heat traps (there is plastic inside the metal nipples). The manual says "some water heaters have been supplied with[...]heat traps. These...

I'm installing a bathroom directly adjacent to the existing one. The current vent exhausts air directly into my attic insulation. I'd like to remedy that, as well as install a proper vent in the new bathroom. I'd really like to only need 1 roof penetration. It looks like the way to do this...

I'm putting in double sinks in my new bathroom. Original plan was to plumb the drains and supplies through the floor, but it seems like the correct way to do this is to stub out through the wall. So I'm planning on installing 2 drains that will drop through the sill plate, wye into 1 pipe and...

Trying to get the supplies together for a remote 2nd home, so I don't know all the specifics I'm dealing with. I will be adding a sink and toilet, and relocating a shower. I was planning on using PEX for the first time, and wondering what size to use. I had planned on branching off of the...
