    Tub drain on a spa tub

    So I cut through the new sub floor and test fit the tub to the 2" inlet I left for it and so far the alignment looks good. This is wet vented to the sink and vent and if there was ever the need to snake this line it would be done from the sink. My question is about the p-trap for the tub. I am...

    Confirmation of plumbing layout needed

    Confirmation of plumbing layout needed

    36 inches for the tub. I don't want to install this crazy thing this way either but I don't see an alternative that satisfies minimum branch arm length, allows vents to exit vertically and allow me fit the floor plan

    No its not, the shower is minimum you can be, two pipe diameters from weir to vent then the vent goes up to 42 inches above floor level before turning horizontal connect into the roof vent..

    Confirmation of plumbing layout needed

    I realty appreciate the constructive criticism. I thought about what everyone has said and went back to my basic books and made a new plan. I think this addresses the issues raised. Its a bit weird but I tried to get the vent to exit at vertical. This time I also drew in the toilet DWV. Before...

    Texan drought sets residents against fracking - video

    I know that's weird. I own the mineral rights to like 1/7 of an acre in OK due to my great great grandfather getting 80 acres during the land rush. Then during the depression one of the famitly sold most of the land and kept all the rights. I don't know why that's possible apart from it was...

    Confirmation of plumbing layout needed

    All great points and I tried two different layouts and I have a drawing of the second because the first would have required that I cut holes through the joist too close to the bottom. This second layout takes a vent from the tub to the wall. The first way took the water to the wall and then over...

    P-Trap to vent minimum, Weir to Vent question

    I have a tight shower location using a Kerdi line drain and if you use 2 pipe diameters as the minimum then the weir to vent distance is 5.75. If I just put the P-trap right on the 2" tee the distance is 3.75.

    P-Trap to vent minimum, Weir to Vent question

    When sizing the weir to vent minimum on a P-trap is it measured from liquid edge in trap to start of vent inner diameter (=> than 2X trap arm diameter)?

    I might have a solution that that will work avoiding the issues brought up. I with make the changes and post later.

    Confirmation of plumbing layout needed

    So if i delete the vent section going to the tub and use a long sweep or better a combo wye to connect the tub this becomes a branch and put a clean-out on the end of the wye using a 45 or 60 bend to angle it up to the tub service access that would work?

    Confirmation of plumbing layout needed

    It seems like it this system as i have drawn was looked at as a wet vent system then it could work (UPC 908.1) or i could tuck an island sink type vent under the rim of the tub (UPC 909.0)

    Confirmation of plumbing layout needed

    What if I dumped the 1.5 tub drain into the 2 in with a wye and 60 deg bend so the entry into the 2 was at a 45 down and the 2 inch continued to the wall as is to vent. Would this work or would that just make an "s" trap?
