Had a plumber over on friday to give advice on how I should vent my 3" toilet drain, and even after telling the receptionist on both phone calls I was only looking for an idea on where to run the vent line, the guy was still upset when I told him I was doing the work myself. He said he's not in the business of giving advice, he wants to do the job and threatened to leave. I made it clear from the start I would pay their service call fee. He was the owner of the company, one of the largest in central Jersey.
Nonetheless after a bit of conversation yoga I convinced him to give me a quote anyways and I will talk it over with the fiancé and maybe give him the job; fully knowing I wasn't going to do that. I know how I'm going to route the vent now, up through the wall behind the shower and tie into the 3" main stack in the attic with a couple no flex fittings and a sanitary tee.
To my question: is the piping configuration in the attached picture an S-Trap? Is this not correct? He told me it would not be up to code and said he will need to tie the shower into the new 3" toilet drain and run them both to the stack in a new line and wye fitting (I was planning on running the new line for the toilet, just not tie the shower into it). I didn't want to take the tape off the end of the pvc for the picture, so I strung the trap up there as best I could so I could get the whole line in the shot.
Thanks for the help!
