I'm converting an OLD bathroom (cast iron claw foot tub - original) to a shower enclosure and find the waste line is 1 1/2". It's well vented, but, looking at the code, a Shower requires a 2" waste even though it's only rated at 2 DFUs. Can someone please explain this to me? To me, the...

Would that be the case even if the fourth toilet was in the same building? I'm really trying to get a handle on the issues surrounding adding the half bath in another building. Will the ejector pump alternative be acceptable? Would "Plan D", where I run the Ejector pump into the main house...

I am building a workshop with a half bath (two sinks and a WC). The workshop is located about 75 from the existing house, which has a septic tank system. The septic tank and workshop are on opposite sides of the house and the workshop is about 5-6 feet in elevation above the house main floor...

Just so we're clear, you are right. I saw this stack up and THOUGHT is was, to quote EXACTLY, "unusual". Two things came to mind. IF it WAS wrong, AHJ COULD ask for it to be fixed because it had been missed in the original inspection. TWO, since I wasn't sure it was wrong, I came here to...

If you read OP then you'd know I was referring to a condition that AHJ thought was wrong and, last I checked, he has the final word.

I live in a fantasy world where things that aren't right are made right...

We've set up our circulator pump in a similar way and rely on the timer function in the controller to turn on the circulator only during our 'normal' demand hours. We can also use the wireless remote when needing HW during off hours. To get around X10 unreliability in our large house, we've...

Thanks! You've taken a load off my mind!

The house was built in 2006 so could be either UPC 2006 or earlier. If we ignore the metal strap hangers and the wire dangling under the pipe, is the Wye and the 45 degree stack a proper setup? It seems 'unusual' to me... The reason I ask is that I'm about to get some additional plumbing...

Thanks! I apologize for not replying sooner - the forum didn't notify me of the update...

Pittsboro, NC. Keeping below 12" would be sufficient. I was looking at Liberty's 370/380 simplex enclosures and possibly including the 18" riser so that I have some lift to the Septic Tank inlet. The small 4/10 HP pump looks sufficient for a half bath and 75 ft of run to the Septic system...

I am building a workshop with a half bath about 75-100 feet from my main house. The workshop is on the same side of the house as the septic tank (approximately 50-75ft away from the tank inlet) but the problem is, with the grade of the property, the workshop is not high enough above the level of...
