I didn't want to wait another week to wrap up this project so I picked up a bunch of new BrassCraft multi-turn style angle stops. Even though they're multi-turn, none of these had the ridge on the threads and they appear to be better built than their 1/4 turn style (uses a rubber gasket instead...

Pictures that refused to attach to my initial post: Ridge on the threads:

Yes, wrapping tape on clockwise so it doesn't bunch up when valve is installed. I've installed many PVC irrigation sprinkler systems and usually the fittings would get hand tight after 3 to 4 full turns with 2 wraps of teflon tape and never a leak in the valve boxes. I've read a few...

Good evening, I used 1/2" x 1/2" MNPT male adapters (Sharkbite part number UAB120LFA) on the ends of the PEX-A so if I ever needed to replace the valves, I could just unscrew them from the adapters rather than have to cut the PEX and expand the pipe to install a new valve. I bought five...

That's a good idea of putting the craftroom tee below the tee for the bathroom lav and making one slightly higher and the other slightly lower. That should work well. Yeah, I tried to find 2 x 2 x 1-1/2 street sani-tee at a couple big box stores. They offered a 2 x 2 x 2 street sani tee at...

Oh right, because that would siphon the P, thanks Terry. So I'd need to revent that trap arm if I want the trap adapter to sit at the same height as the one in the craftroom.

Yes, it should be. IPC 2018 says 1-1/2" max distance is 6ft from vent to trap. The length of the arm including in the wall and coming out to the trap adapter would be right at 4ft. So using 1/4" of slope on the trap arm, the trap weir will be 1" higher than where it tees off the stack...

Any input on if a revent is necessary or more beneficial for my setup or should it be good as I have drawn it?

Here ya go:

The drawing below is what I am planning to do: But then I saw this thread with the following photo. Is this because that person's pipe is 1-1/2 for drain and vent so the lav on the left needed a separate path for the vent? I don't think I need this because the distance between the bath...

@Tuttles Revenge What you show is elusive in all my searching. I spent a few hours trying to find such a beast last Friday. I'm probably not using the correct search terms. But good point about talking to the inspector about what we want to do when I get the rough inspection. I was planning...

For the bathroom lav, one of these? https://www.homedepot.com/p/NIBCO-1-1-2-in-x-1-1-4-in-ABS-DWV-Hub-x-Slip-Joint-P-Trap-C5892HD112114/100348236

Yeah, I get what you're saying, thanks for the sanity check Wayne :D I think we'll stick with a stainless lav that accepts a 1-1/4 tailpiece. Elkay says their bar sinks or the sink WorthFlorida mentioned is made to accept the drain with 1-1/2 tailpiece. My wife found this one that looks up to...

It doesn't look like it has much of a taper from 1-1/2 to 1-1/4, but I wouldn't think it would cause any crud to collect on the transition either. After thinking about this some more, if I'm adapting a 1-1/2" tail piece to 1-1/4" anyway, doesn't that open up the possibility to use sinks with...

Excellent, thank you Wayne!

1) is a no go, we'd rather go without the sink. 2) is looking more promising. Would this work to adapt a 1-1/2" tailpiece to 1-1/4" trap? https://www.amazon.com/Keeney-46WK-Straight-Extension-Coupling/dp/B000BO8EE4/ 3) I'm having everything inspected, so probably can't do that. :) Thank you...

WorthFlorida, Thanks for the link. That's pretty much what we want to put in there. I'm having trouble finding a 2" drain fitting with a 1-1/4" tailpiece though. I thought I found one... the "Elkay LK9" at https://www.prodrinkingfountains.com/elkay-lk9-commerical-sink-accessories/ but when I...

That sink would be in a craft/hobby room. Something stainless that's easy to clean to get water for water colors, wash out the paint brushes, grab a glass of water, etc. We were wanting to use something around the size of a bar sink, maybe a little bigger. I saw that DFU table earlier and...

Good morning, I'm finishing my basement of my Colorado home built in 2007. The builder roughed in the drain and vent for a bathroom. I don't know what the configuration is under the basement floor slab, but we have three pipes in the floor: one horizontal pipe down in a section of the floor...
