Greetings! I've appreciated the great advice from folks here over the years and I'm back for a quick check on my basement bathroom DWV plan. First pic is floor plan and where I'd trench, and second is my attempt at an ISO drawing. I'm in Virginia under IPC btw and this is a permitted project...

Hello plumbing pros :) I'm back with a bigger project and always appreciate your generous advice. First question is I'm adding a garage to my house with bedroom and bath above it. Most logical, simple way to route waste is down along inside garage wall and then connect to main drain. Garage...

Greetings all and happy 2022! I'm planning a basement renovation I want to include a floor drain in the utility room. I plan a 2" pvc pipe with a p-trap, and keep it within 8ft trap arm length max for venting. Is there any code requirement to have some sort of of system to keep trap from...

I'm adding two Burnham Baseray cast iron baseboard radiators to my basement. I've run the piping out of the framed walls since floor is of course concrete. The plumbing supply houses here only have right angle radiator valves (intended for piping up through floor) and the valve enclosure is...

Great forum here Terry ... I've been lurking and reading posts for quite a while. Now I'm about to tackle my own project and would love some advice. Getting ready to bust up some concrete (once I finalize this plan) to install the DWV for a basic 5'x9' basement bath (I'm actually moving a...
