    critique my dwv model

    Since this is a Plumbing & Remodel DIY advice forum, perhaps Tyler came here looking for advice on a diy project. Only Tyler knows his true abilities. I don't see why plumbing professionals that are offended that people would consider taking on projects themselves (and thus take food off...

    Advice - Tankless Water Heaters !

    Sure, had the drip pan been installed 35 years ago!! The heater that recently failed didn't drop its water. There was decades of damage there, my friends. When I replaced the water heater on the other side of my house a couple of years ago, I put a drip pan under that one. All nice and...

    Toilet Venting

    Toilet Venting

    Hey guys, I'm renovating a guest bathroom, and due to some weird foundation issues, it appears I have limited choices in venting the toilet. I can vent 3' downstream of the toilet. or I have found this fitting with a high heel outlet that would work in the space I have (naturally the 2"...
