Hi, I have a Rinnai gas tankless which I am relocating due to an addition I'm building. The water heater will move to the garage, where it will be centrally located between the house and addition. It is a big enough house that a recirc line will be necessary. Since there is house in either...

I know PVC and CPVC usually don't mix. But I'm running out of options here. I'm roughing in a shower and am extremely limited on vertical height / slope. I have a horizontal 3" trunk which the 2" shower drain is joining. I can make 1/4" pitch on the 2" pipe if (and only if) I use an eccentric...

I need to install a trap primer for a couple of new construction emergency floor drains, and I'm under the UPC. There are a few solutions which go between the drain and trap that allow a 1/2" FPT connection from the trap primer, but they are all very backordered as far as I can tell. However...

If I remember correctly, 45 degrees is considered vertical, so it seems like I should be able to use a 1/4 bend (with a heel to vent) into a wye like this. Does this work for a WC?

Hi, I am close to installing a tankless water heater in my house; I'm planning to install the unit myself and hire out the gas fitting. I am not a plumber, but have done quite a bit of research and reading on this. I am sitting here looking at the international fuel gas code on sizing gas piping...

Hi, I am new to the forum but have been reading lots over the last few months. I am in the midst of a bathroom remodel in the eastside Seattle area. I am attaching the plan with drain pipes drawn in blue. Sorry for the poor hand drawing. The toilet is staying in the same spot, and the sink is...
