    Copper + compression fitting question

    I have put in copper in my bathroom renovation--1st time sweating joints. I have a stub-out coming out of the floor near the base of the toilet (Soiree), since the wall behind the toilet is where a pocket door goes. Is it normal to just cut this off and attach the valve with a compression...

    Thanks

    Hi folks, Just wanted to thank you for a great forum and resource. I just started a bath/kitchen expansion and remodel. Yesterday I had the inspector out for the underfloor framing and plumbing inspection. Searching the forum here, along with a few questions, saved the day. No changes...

    A couple of DWV questions

    About to start on a bathroom remodel and not lots of plumbing experience. 1. A 1 1/2 " drain from single vanity sink will connect on the horizontal with a 2" drain line from the shower. Each are previously vented. Is it correct that they be connected with a "y" fitting? 2. I...

    waste size question

    Bath remodel about to be in progress. I need to connect a waste vent from a sink ( 1 1/2") to the shower drain line (2"). Both lines will be vented prior to their connection. Under the UPC (San Jose, CA), can the waste line stay 2", or does it need to increase in size to a larger size at...
