Update. Plumbing is done and I passed my inspection with an AAV in the closet wall (accessible by a fenstrated panel). Inspector was pleased with what we had done although part of the venting for the shower was a little unconventional. He was a very reasonable guy. Turned on the water supply to...

My house is a bungalow with multiple roof lines, deep eaves and projections. It makes doing anything externally challenging. I’ll try to get pictures if that would help. Making the window not operable is not an option. For one thing I would have to make all of them non-operable which with the...

I appreciate everyone’s attempts to help but I’m not kidding when I say it cannot be vented through the roof. The bathroom is in a projection from the back of the house. Set back just above it is a shed dormer. The shed dormer has windows all across it. Code requires that no venting be situated...

Trust me, if I could I would. It cannot be done due to the architecture of the house. The toilet worked fine without being vented at all but I am forced to vent it due to code. I won’t pass inspection without it but the plumbing inspector will not offer any help as to what WILL pass. I know that...

Also, I am aware that the toilet drain is not old. Not sure when it was installed but it was before the crawl space had a concrete floor poured. I’ve been here for 21 years and it was before I moved in.

Redoing a bathroom with an unusual drain situation for which I am not responsible. The toilet currently sits directly atop a 3” (may be 4”) vertical ABS waste pipe that connects to the main drain under concrete and 3+ feet of dirt. The sink had a trap that drained into its own 2” ( I think)...

I am totally redoing a tiny bathroom in my 112 year old house. After demo I discovered that the lav was incorrectly vented into the attic and I'm not sure the toilet was vented at all. I guess it had to be to function all this time but for the life of me I can't figure out how. Now adding a...

The taping (Teflon tape) was on the brass fittings that took it from 1/2" PVC down to the 3/8" male threaded connector for the stainless flex pipe. Nobody had the exact fitting you pictured at the time I needed it so I had to add a coupler. I was on a time crunch and couldn’t wait until the...

Just wanted to come back and say a big thank you for your help. Got the dishwasher installed. Took longer than expected and Bosch dishwashers deviate greatly from standard dishwasher installs as they have a remote junction box and a proprietary supply hose that comes pre-attached and is not...

If they weren't so close I'd never darken their door again. You have no idea the amount of trouble I've had with them. All I wanted them to do was point me in the direction of the right fitting since I couldn't find it. I didn't ask to be grilled on what I was doing with it. I guarantee you I...

Thank you so much. So I'm not "doing it wrong"?

I'm sorry. I meant CPVC.

Please be gentle with me. I'm installing a new dishwasher to replace one that has died. I removed the old one last night which was complicated by the fact that it was installed with a dedicated water line (yes I know this isn't necessary but I didn't do the install). It's a 1/2" PVC pipe-90...
