Thanks for the reply and for the link. I couldn't find anything that addresses my particular situation but there is a lot of useful. information in that document. Is there any maximum length for a lateral run with 2" pipe?

Hi, I am in the planning stages for a kitchen renovation in California. I plan to relocate my kitchen sink from a peninsula to an outside wall. The move will require a completely new DWV run. The route I am proposing will not require cutting any studs or joists but I will need to cut out a...

Thanks for the insight. Yes, I guess I'm kinda at the mercy of the inspector. Given the configuration and constraints in this room I'm not sure it's physically possible to maintain the 3' and have it clear of the window.

Hi, Homeowner working on a remodel in California. Existing extractor fan is on the wall and is a direct vent to the outside. I have been told by my window installer that code requires that the fan must be 36" from the window. Based on the configuration of the room, this would be quite...

I have not visited this site for some time and I am saddened to read the news. Thanks so much for all of the great advice that I have received from reading and interacting on this site. Best wishes to the family and RIP Terry.

Thank you.

Hi, I’m trying to move a toilet a few inches and I can’t access the waste stack. I can achieve my goal of moving the flange a few inches away from a wall by using a 22.5 degree street bend right before the closet bend. Is it acceptable to use this fitting? Will try to attach photo. Thanks Jeff

Thanks Terry. Too bad about reusing the ball and rod-I was hoping to replace those. I’m sure I can make it better than it is now by changing the fill valve. Thanks

I’m visiting my parents and they complained about their toilet not refilling properly, making strange noises among other things. I said it’s probably a good idea to replace the filler mechanism. I’ve never seen a Norris toilet and the existing filler has a tube that runs horizontally that I’m...

Agreed. Jantzen Beach HD is where I normally shop. I checked the stated aisle and bin and even asked staff. Nada. Thanks

Thanks. I saw that too, went there and unable to find them. I'll just use the standard elbows--easier anyway. Thank you.

Hi Terry, after months of planning and other projects I'm finally working on this one. Question regarding toilet flange to DWV connection. My past experience in California allowed for a 4" x 3" "closet bend" to connect the toilet flange to the 3" line. I cannot find this fitting anywhere in the...

Hi Wayne, Thanks for the response. The drain is 1.5” all the way to the crawl space where it joins the 3” (or maybe 4”) main horizontal branch. The current 1.5 lav drain is in fact very close to the wall and it goes vertical very early. If the trap arm is less than 42” (which it would be)...

Hi, Renovation in progress for an en-suite bathroom. Currently have a shower with a 2” DWV and a lav with a 1.5” DWV. I would like to reconfigure the room room by replacing the shower with a tub/shower combo BUT I want to swap the positions of the current shower and lav. I know that the lav...

Thank you Terry. This forum is invaluable. Cheers, Jeff

Thanks for the info.

Hi, I have what I think is a simple question. I searched toilet+trap+arm+bend and read all of the results but was unable to find what I am looking for. Here is the situation: The existing toilet is connected with a very short (6”) horizontal run into the main 3” vertical waste stack. I...
