I am working on a house with a old well that produces a great deal of sediment. This sediment and iron prematurely damaged the prior pressure tank and as a result and despite my explaining why it's dangerous to put a filter before the pressure switch, the owner had me install a10*4.5 sediment...

I just thought I would update and say that here is the final mock up and it was just approved by the inspector. I noted the IPC with respect to the toilet connection and he was fine with it. He didn't seem to care so much about the text of the code as much as if the setup would work properly ...

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately I cannot find a plumber willing to consult for a fee - I have an HVAC guy and Electrician doing so, but have struck out with plumbers. I NOW know the vent connection itself must enter below 45 degrees. I also I know what I did wrong for the shower and...
