    Macerating Toilet and fixture units question **with photos**

    Hi Michael, Thanks for the reply. I'll see with the specs what it is rated to.

My sump pump has...

    Waste Plumbing Question, Wye not?

    Hey Terry, Thanks for the reply. A few quick questions - 1. I had asked the gentleman before you, how do you vent the drain/overflow when the standard fitting package comes with just a prefabricated 90 to the overflow? 2. Can the kitchen clean out be a P trap with a cleanout in the bottom of...

    Hey Stuff, I plan on adding a 2" vent over by the pump in the basement (about 12' to the left of all this, same wall) and running it through the studs.

    Waste Plumbing Question, Wye not?

    Thanks Reach4. From what I found the 90 with an Ell is okay for waste, not for venting (unless the 90 is on its side horizontal to horizontal and the ell sticks straight up. I appreciate it!
