    Advice on Toilet Drain

    Yes, you're right. Those unshielded Fernco couplings are not approved for use within interior framing. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll only use the shielded type. This is the vent pipe configuration in the attic. As you can see, the main vent stack going up to the roof vent is merely a...

    @Wayne, WorthFlorida, I take your points. I'll look at this tomorrow. Cheers.

    Advice on Toilet Drain

    Thanks for your suggestion Terry. I might have a look at that configuration also, assuming I can find a medium sweep 90 locally.

    Advice on Toilet Drain

    I really don't know. House was built in 1995. We moved in 11 years ago. With the temporary patch in place the pipe slope from the vent at the wall is adequate (1" in 4') and I'll make sure that is maintained when I seat the Wye - so the section between the Wye and Vent is not flat. Actually...

    Advice on Toilet Drain

    Problem solved. 60 degree elbow. Lip of hub will sit just below top of 3/4" OSB subfloor which will work perfectly with with an ABS flange.

    Advice on Toilet Drain

    No it doesn't go to a tee. At the end of the 10' horizontal run it just bends down vertically and passes down to the basement where there is a clear-out. There is nothing else connecting into the vertical section. Over the horizontal run there are two inflow connections. One, a 2" drain line...

    Advice on Toilet Drain

    Actually what you are are suggesting looks like it could be doable. Here's how the 3" vent pipe comes down the wall. As you can see, as it passes through the sub-floor it makes a bend to line up with the existing toilet drain line. So if I were to cut it, it would have to be above floor...

    Advice on Toilet Drain

    Thanks for your reply. I hadn't even considered that as an option. I just assumed the vent pipe is connected that way for a reason and that it should be preserved. No, there are no other fixtures connected to it.

    Advice on Toilet Drain

    As discussed in an earlier post, I'm re-modelling our main bathroom. https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/advice-on-support-for-replaced-sections-of-osb-sub-floor.96818/ I'm not a pro, so it's quite a challenging project for me. The original shower stall, sunken bathtub and toilet...

    Advice on support for replaced sections of OSB sub-floor

    Great, thanks for the advice. My mistake -actually the OSB is 3/4" not 5/8". I don't think there was any adhesive. Once I'd removed the nails it came up very easily with no residual bits stuck to the joists, but I'll definitely apply some PL when I fix the new sections. The tiles would sit...

    Advice on support for replaced sections of OSB sub-floor

    I've begun a major DIY project (for me, anyway) re-modelling our main bathroom upstairs (first floor). Previously, the toilet, shower stall and sunk bathtub were installed on a tiered platform structure. The wife want's everything on the same level. Having removed the platform structure, and...
