I recently installed a Kohler archer tub, which has 1 1/2" pvc for both drain and overflow. My drain line is 1 1/2" ABS, because of the provided kohler sanitary tee, my p trap will be lower than it was before, and lower than the drain line. My original thought was to come off the bottom of the...

I put a street elbow on and purchased a 2 1/2" closet flange. The opening is alittle large where a few holes in the flange wont have subfloor, i will backer the subfloor with a 2x4 to make up that gap.

Here are some photos, i did try to get a 4x3 on there and it just wouldnt go, ive cleaned off the abs glue as best as i could on the vertical, hopefully i can still apply a new fitting over it.

yeah i have a 4 x 3 Exactly,

what if i use a short elbow, that might be below the floor entirely? Or a 3" street elbow, that would be smaller than a 4x3 closet bend, a 3x3 closet bend would be ideal, but i cannot find one.

Terry, its a closet bend, so it is my 90, the horizontal is just below the sub floor so to get the closet bend onto the horizontal the angle dosnt allow for them to come together straight. and there is no play in that short horizontal.

Im doing a bathroom remodel, replacing vinyl flooring with tile and because of the new buildup for the tile,my closet flange was too low. The old closet flange came down through the floor to a short maybe 15" horizontal piece of pipe that is just about 3"s below the subfloor and then into the...

I ordered a Drake in Colonial White and a matching Self closing Seat in the same color, the seat box says colonial white on the sticker, but its not exactly the same color as the toilet, is there a product code on the seat anywhere, i cannot seem to find one, how do i know what color seat i got...

I am about to install my closet flange and wanted to verify this would work with a toto drake toilet, the flange will be on top of the tile and is a Sioux Chief TKO, ABS. I guess my only concern is the height as the flange and the lip will be above tile? thanks,

yes ABS pipe.

Terry, i should install the closet flange over the tile also, correct? and this can be a regular closet flange from a big box store, i don't need anything specific for the Toto toilets.

Toto aquia III install I'm in the process of finishing a new bathroom, i am just about to tile the bath floor and am interested in a Aquia III. I have seen the Install pdf from Toto's website but want to make sure im not missing something. I have never installed a toilet so this is all new to...

Terry the vertical part of that tee is for vent only and was rough-in from the builder for basement shower and sink, i like to follow code and that is why i have pulled a permit for the basement remodel, my cousin helped me with plumbing and was a plumber for many years, but that was prior to...

Hj, i cannot use this configuration if that tee is for the vent? i thought that was OK.

It was inspected and he did sign off on it without question, but hard to say if he really looked that close. from 2009 minnesota plumbing code: 4715.2410 CHANGE IN DIRECTION. Changes in direction in drainage piping shall be made by the appropriate use of 45 degree wyes, long or short sweep...

I installed this when i moved the vent stack to make room for a bigger shower. its under a wall now and would be a pain to remove. i have attached a photo just to verify we are talking about the same thing. the sanitary tee connects the vent and then continues on.

sanitary tee.

Thank you, i already have the ABS version of the drain and will check out John Bridge site.

Terry, forgive my ignorance, but what do you consider the "trap arm". Do I just simply pitch drain 1/4" per foot? I am assuming the 'stand pipe' is the vertical piece coming out of trap? Also, I'm going to be using a kerdi drain on this shower, can i just grab a 4" ABS coupling and put that...

I am very much a plumbing novice and looking for some help on this, I had a shower drain already in my basement slab when my house was first built, i now am finishing off that basement space and had to move the vent and drain for the shower from original location. I have positioned the trap in...
