    Attic Bathroom Plumbing

    this is a view of the vent that steps up in relation to the crown weir. I am doing this bathroom myself, I am more concerned about it being fully functional and not give me problems down the road than passing an inspection. Thank you gents for pointing me in the right direction.

    mass UPC The allowed developed length from shower trap to vent per UPC (Applied Plumbing Code in Mass) is 8 FT which I don't have. So the fact that the wye combo is not horizontal, but rotated with almost 45 degrees upward does not help. Then I will have to make the shower smaller and bring...

    Can I completely remove the shower vent? Is it better with this horizontal run or without it? Do you see anything else wrong with this bathroom drains?

    I hope I got it right. Once I am done, I will have to test the drain line, should I do a pressure test or a water test? If pressure test, is there any kit I can buy?

    Correct, there will be a wall that I have not updated in the plans. I installed the vent up into the wall. However, I had to offset it from the drain line to the wall using a wye combo on 45 degrees+45 degree bend and a 90 elbow. this was the only way I could get it to the wall without drilling...

    I have updated the plans a bit after looking at the joist configuration. I have eliminated the toilet vent. the shower pan is 40" x 48", probably the sketch is deceiving. My concern is regarding the 2" drain going thru the 2x7" joists. Distance from CL of shower drain to 3" main( 3x3x2 combo in...

    Attic Bathroom Plumbing

    I am adding a bathroom to the attic and have been working with the plans to get the plumbing done. Below I have attached a sketch showing the fixtures. The existing main stack of the 2 floors below is right below the toilet, but I can not add a 3" main stack there as there is no room. I have to...
