Thoughts on a dedicated line straight to the drain with no trap but using the SureSeal fitting you just described?

See my response to Turtles Revenge's post below.

I understand what you're saying but the two nearby traps are already tight within an 8" joist so there's really not much of a tailpiece to connect to. I could certainly put a trap under the pan and hook into a wye entering the main 2" horizontal drain but I'd worry the pan wouldn't get much...

Thanks Jeff. I should've mentioned but I have no plumbing fixtures anywhere below this pan. There's a nearby main 2" horizontal run. There are also p-traps on a nearby shower and toilet. Except for these 2 p-traps, the 2" main drain run and down the line, the main stack, I have no fixtures...

Does anyone know the appropriate way to drain a washing machine pan, particularly in a cold climate? I've seen conflicting info when researching this issue. Some recommend draining direct to the outside. Some say tie into existing DWV. Others say no p-trap needed. My scenario is its a...

For clarification, each fixture would have its own trap so the question should be can a washing machine, shower and lav feed into the same 2" horizontal drain run?

Can a Clothes Washer, a Shower and a Bathroom lav share the same 2" drain?

Thanks. I think where you write "But you can take a dry vent off the stack above that 2" drain,..." Is my best option as it will be my a dedicated dry vent for the WC and less than 3' away from the flange. I should be able to draw something up later just to confirm but I'm pretty sure I'm...

Great, I'm following you so far but just to double check my understanding... where the toilet enters the stack will be the upper most drain entering that stack. I will have a 2" drain entering the same stack but BELOW where the toilet enters. That 2" drain (laundry stand pipe, shower & lav) is...

I appreciate your patience! So are you saying I could vent out with a 3x3x2 wye along any portion of the stack as long as its within 6' of the fixture? (In another words, the vent doesnt have to T off the horizontal drain, it can T off the vertical stack provided it meets the 45 degree or less...

Thanks Terry. Given what wwhitney wrote above about horizontal takeoffs, I'm assuming I still wouldn't be able to use the double combination wye you described by me still running a horizontal vent about 20" from the right side of the wye prior to it turning straight up? (I'd have to cap the...

Or would this be more appropriate for the intended use?

Would the below pictured fitting work as described in the pic? It's a dedicated 3" toilet drain entering the left side of the fitting. The right side would reduce to a 2" vent that turns upwards well under 6' from the toilet drain. The bottom empties into the main stack. I'm really limited...

I have a 12' wall that has a washing machine, shower, (toilet) and a lav along it. Am I able to drain the 2" washer standpipe, a 2" shower drain and a 2" single lav drain into the same 2" drain pipe that would run directly under these 3 fixtures prior to it emptying into the 3" toilet drain...

I think your idea could work except that I'd have to cut a hole through the 2x8 header portion of the framing that's big enough for my 3" toilet drain pipe. Is that doable?

1st time poster here. I'm remodeling a bathroom and the 12 1/2" rough-in location for my toilet is dead-centered on a 2x8 joist that runs parallel to the same wall the toilet is set back against. Unless I'm missing something, going with a 10" or 14" rough-in toilet would still clip that same...

The electric service around there is pretty good although there's been a couple of extended outages of 1-2 dats over the past 7-8 years. Fortunately, I get text notifications of outages and only easidebless than an hour away. I'm not sure what you mean "if the LP burner was an afterthougt"???? Pat

Thanks John. We're likely to leave the heating system on over the winter as I anticipate using the cottage fairly frequently for snowmobiling and ice fishing (you have to have an outdoor hobby here or you'll go crazy over our long winters!) Along with that, we'll be ae to leave out water on...

It's my first post on this forum so hello! I am renovating a small cottage that I would like to also use in the winter here in Northern Wisconsin. The cottage is 20'x20' and 2-stories (800 sq. ft.) with a living area & kitchen in the walk-out basement and 3 small bedrooms and a bathroom up...
