    Understanding venting for a bathroom.

    Hey guys. I've been reading alot and trying to understand and learn different scenarios of venting bathrooms. I find it pretty interesting. So I came across a website that posted a customer's idea of how to pipe out a bath. Obviously it was posted as a "what not to do". Anyway, the poster...

    Which pvc fittings for vents?

    Thank you. I was thinking to use long radius elbows and combo tees. Am I gaining anything by doing this or am I just wasting money? I was thinking it would be less restriction when pulling/replacing air?

    Which pvc fittings for vents?

    I am piping out a vent setup for 2 basement baths. I see that home depot sells long radius, regular, and short radius fittings. 1) Which of the 3 should be used? 2) When using tees for the vents, should I be using combo fittings, sanitary tees, or just regular tees?

    Basement underground and vent plans for 2 baths and kitchen.

    I appreciate that advice. It's good to know not too much needs to be changed. However, I have a few questions. 1) So when you say you "can" go horizontal below flood level rim when "drainage fittings" are used, are you referring to the combo fitting that you just mentioned as being a...

    Condensate pump recommendation for Alpine Burnham 80k btu?

    I currently have a Utilitech Pro(UL-AC-pump). It still pumps after 9 years, but last night I noticed it kept running constantly which tells me maybe the float is sticking. So I assume it will burn out if I dont replace or fix. Problem is they dont sell this one anymore and I believe I stayed...

    Which kind of hangers for back of stud 1" copper pipe?

    Thanks guys, I didnt know the j-hooks work with copper. And I thought the Oatey suspensions were just for pex. These sound great, thanks. Injust wish they made them a tad longer to allow for ½" insulation. But these will do nonetheless.

    Which kind of hangers for back of stud 1" copper pipe?

    Hey all. I need to run 1" copper pipe horizontally against the back of a new wood stud wall. There is only 5" in between the back of studs and concrete foundation, so I would need something I can secure from the side. I see the Hap System blue metal hangers, but I'm not too sure about...

    Which material threaded rod can I use for copper split ring hangers?

    I need to run a 1" copper domestic water line horizontally against a concrete wall and be as close as possible. Originally I had 1½" kindorf with clamps, but i need it closer to wall. The run is only about 6ft. I was thinking copper split ring hangers and drop-in concrete anchors with...

    Adding an additional washer drain and ejector pump to main sewer header.

    Thank you for the reply. I do in fact have a septic tank ***AND*** a cesspool, "septic tank/cesspool". I guess I confused things with the forward slash. 1) According to your diagram, is my existing plumbing wrong because there is a wye fitting on the verticle where the two toilets tie in...
