best way to get the 2” pcv into the wall cavity? 2- 45’s and a diagonal run, or 2 long sweeps? if option 2, is there a minimus length for the horizontal?

Appreciate the feedback but Im done with that cast iron vent. When I cut it inside the basement noticed the inside was clogged and corroded. When I bought the place I it came up on the inspection and we knocked some money off the house for it among other things. (should have negotiated much...

I was going to do that but then we noticed that the trap under the floor was a violation and putting a trap in the wall would make it above the vent which can trap sewer gases. I cut out all the steel pipe except for the vent pipe but that is clogged with pine needles and whatever the animals...

Someone posted this picture online. Is this valid? The sink would be exactly 30" from the laundry drain. It looks like the AAV should be taller than the stand pipe?

Yes the system has a roof vent off the main branch. So I can just add an AAV? That is a game changer.

I'm not having any luck here, no wonder the last owner didnt attempt to fix this,. This part of the home has a flat roof. What if I just run at outside above the roof far enough away form any windows?

ugh. i don’t wan to do all this work and still not be compliant. here is a picture of the vent. can i just poke a new hole and put a vent there? going through the roof isn’t an option as there is another level above.

Looking at the original photo I posted, would the sink technically have a vent? I think that is categorized as a wet vent, but is that design valid if I just replicate with new PVC?

sink would have a trap not shown

what about this. i have to use 2 45’s to bend the pipe behind the sill plate to get the pipe in wall

Sketched what the plumbing would kind of look like if moved to walls. 2 more questions. Is vent like this ok? The pipe is outside and is taller than the top of the standpipe. Does the sink need it's own trap?

Does the washer stand pipe need a trap also, or just a cleanup at the bottom? Where would that go, in the wall above the floor? The vent runs outside then vertical to 6' height. The sink on the right has an s-trap on the vertical pipe above the floor under the sink. Will replace with p-trap.

Hello all, Please forgive all of the chaos in the picture. I am trying to replace the galvanized steel shown here with PVC. The current pipe is old and sometimes overflows when the washer pump runs. The problem here is that the stand pipe is in the ground and I want to move it back 6 inches...

Thanks for the helpful suggestions. The wall mount isn't an option because I have all the parts purchased and the wife doesn't like the "telephone" faucets. Mounting on the left is possible, however I the handles will swing into the tub rim so I will need to locate them elsewhere or raise the...

Hello, I'm renovating my bathroom but keeping the existing non-jetted whirlpool soaker tub. Many years ago the builders installed the faucet in the back right corner. I have covered the old holes with caps. I'm trying to relocate them to another spot due to the following reasons: The spout...

Is this one of the Cadets where users report having to hold down the handle for the entire flush period? I like this model but can't figure out which ones have this annoying feature.

I forgot that I can just turn the santee to face outward! I am going to dry fit that and also open up the wall to raise for elbows for the vent since I don't wan't to go out and buy 45's. I'll give it a shot today after work. Thanks everyone!

What if I extend the vertical run above the sanitary? I can go as far vertical as I need, I would just remove more drywall. The santee is upside down.

Yes it needs to be to the right otherwise the "U" shape void where the vanity drawer is will not align with the drain pipe. All of this work is to center the plumbing into a small 10" x 10" space.

And I noticed the sanitary tee is upside down. I'll fix that before glueing it all together.
