    Winterize Ant-sweat valve

    Hi All, My Dad is a snowbird - NY/FL - in the winter, the NY house is shut down - in the summer, the toilet sweats to the point there is a puddle! After a couple years of threatening, I will install an anti-sweat valve - it occured to me that it has check valves to prevent the comingling of...

    Hangers ??

    Hi All - What are the requirement for hangers on the horizontal in this situation - about 48" of PVC and 62" between the hangers on the CI. The wood blocks attached to the wall maintain the gap behind the pipe. as you can see, i like the color purple, and the neat streaks it makes when...

    Testing this new Drain

    I'm splicing a new clothes washer drain into my main stack - the stack is is 3" copper. The stud may need to be notched depending on the solution here. I may also swap the valve/drain position for more clearance. anyway, our inspector requires 10lbs of air, or 15' of head as a test - this...

    Ipc 2003 handbook - bath group/wet vent

    I'm staring at a picture of a horizontal wet vent figures 9.13 & 9.14 in the 2003 intl plumbing code book - here is a link - i'm 95% sure that is what we uses as of last year sometime. this example is a back-to-back bath group (terminology check?) with a single vent - it looks wet, and it...

    PVC Spliced into Cast

    This just occured to me - i'm planning on adding a bath group, and will have a vertical 3" pvc into a 4x4x3 combo on its back joining 4" cast - i was going to go with two hubless/banded couplings to splice this into the horizontal run. perhaps relevant info: there is a 2nd story bath (on...
