    Water coming through stem on Kohler stacked shower valve (K-2973-KS-NA)

    Hello all, I recently installed Kohler stacked shower valve (K-2973-KS-NA). When I put water into the system a stream or water came straight out of the screw hole of the lower valve stem. I've never seen anything like it. Anyone have any experience with this? I would just replace the cartridge...

    Fitting to maintain air gap in wet/dry horizontal vent run

    Hi there. Actually I was considering combining the two vents together in the attic. I will have a shower, a tub and a double vanity on the 1-1/2" branch which will combine with a 2" vent stack going through the roof. I should be good on my DFU budget. To be honest I'm not sure that my...

    Fitting to maintain air gap in wet/dry horizontal vent run

    Okay guys I'm optimistic that I may have this as advised. One note. The slight jog that I am indicating on the horizontal run to the "bonus vent" is to avoid having to break more concrete. I'm hopeful that is not an issue. I haven't attempted to fit this yet and its possible I may be able to...

    Fitting to maintain air gap in wet/dry horizontal vent run

    Hey Jeff, Inspectors aside, in your personal opinion does the "bonus vent" cause any functional issues? I am inclined to think my inspector wants it to remain but my real concern is that it actually works before I cover it up. Thanks, again, Rigo

    Fitting to maintain air gap in wet/dry horizontal vent run

    This is all very interesting and also a bit confusing! Okay, I forgot to mention that I am considering putting a cleanout on the vertical portion of the "bonus vent". Does that impact this situation in any way? Thanks again

    Fitting to maintain air gap in wet/dry horizontal vent run

    Hi again Wayne. So would it be accurate to say that the "bonus" vent could be eliminated from either of the last two versions of my diagram and this would be good to go? Would it also be the case that leaving the bonus vent may be technically outside of code but would not be functionally...

    Hi Wayne, I've been giving your last suggestion some thought. I'm not sure if I interpreted you correctly but here is a diagram that I hope capture's your suggestion. Please let me know what you think. Thanks again for your help with this. Rigo

    Fitting to maintain air gap in wet/dry horizontal vent run

    Hi Wayne, I have modified the layout in a way which I believe allows me to retain the old vent (useful or not) as well as include the new one at the vanity. I sort of anticipate that this inspector will want me to retain that vent. Please let me know your thoughts. Many thanks. Rigo

    Fitting to maintain air gap in wet/dry horizontal vent run

    I updated my sketch based on your comments although I'm not at all sure that I interpreted you correctly. Not sure I can keep the existing vent pipe connected with this change. To horizontally wet vent, abandon and remove the old lavatory vent (or if it goes through the roof and you don't want...

    Fitting to maintain air gap in wet/dry horizontal vent run

    All - I would love some DWV advice. I just had an inspector come by to check on my master bath remodel. He wanted me to "roll" a fitting to ensure that the horizontal vent pipe has elevation to ensure that there will be sufficient airflow to ensure proper drainage. I get that but I'm not certain...
