You're a real piece of work aren't you? Somebody wishes you "a great weekend" and you take it as a sarcastic putdown. "You have yourself a great weekend. Words of encouragement not needed but I'll take the kind gesture without the sarcastic connotation implied" You must be a barrel of fun...

All I'm saying Rugged is that in all the hundreds of GE dishwashers my company has installed over the years that not one, (count em!) ONE!! complaint has ever reached our service desk. I understand that code authorities look at worst case scenario, A case in point is backflow preventers. The...

In my area, (Tampa Bay) local codes require house vents to be 2" with one 3" vent. We usually place the 3" vent off the kitchen sink. Regards, Tom

Hi Ivona, I was asked about New York "P" traps at another site. Since I'm a Florida plumber I looked up the code. "P" traps, by NYC code require a clean out,(see image) But as hj advised if nobody's gonna know and a bottle trap will do the trick, have at it. Good luck, Tom
