You are correct. The system utilizes a neutralizer and the piping is PVC. Thanks for the response.

Thanks, Wayne. I believe your interpretation is correct. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your input, Jeff. Greatly appreciated!

So the dishwasher does tie above the P-trap kitchen sink using a wye like most houses. I believe per the IRC and plumbing codes, the dishwasher water would be considered indirect waste and IRC code P2706.2 allows that indirect waste to be discharged there via the exception. The question I have...

Code P2706.2 states that "Plumbing fixtures that are used for washing or bathing shall not be used to receive the discharge of indirect waste piping." And provides an exception for the dishwasher draining to the kitchen sink. I am installing a high-efficiency boiler with a condensate drain. The...

Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the input. I found an interesting link that specifically discusses wells. Conducting the calculations with this method yielded similar results but was a bit less restrictive when it came to determining WFSUs allowed with longer runs of piping...

I am building a house served by a well. The well pump cycles on at 40 and off at 60 psi. As I read Appendix P of the 2018 IRC which governs the area I am building in, paragraph AP201.1 2 states "Obtain the minimum daily static service pressure [psi (kPa)] available (as determined by the local...

Interesting point. Thanks

Thanks Jeff

Hi Jeff, Thanks. This was my first post. I probably should have added more details showing all the fittings that would be used to connect the system together. I do understand that additional elbows, piping, and WC fittings will be used but was mostly concerned with the concept of the overall...

Hi John, Thanks for the reply. The plan is to wet-vent the three bathroom fixtures via the sink sanitary Tee. Since the washing machine is in an adjacent room I believe it would have to be tied-in downstream of the toilet.

Hi Jeff, The floor joists are 16 on center. The WC location is positioned above and in between two joists. I have the flexibility to run it in any of the joist bays, so I don't think there are any concerns there, do you? What I want to verify is the drain and venting arrangement shown. Are...

Attached is the layout for a second-floor bathroom. There is an adjacent laundry room. The bathroom drain will run through the exterior 6-inch framed wall. The 10-inch floor joists run perpendicular to the exterior wall. Also attached is a simplified one-line diagram of the proposed drain and...
