I'm assuming adding a 2" vent at the shower wouldn't fix the toilet distance issue.

Will the proposed 2" wet vent be sufficient for this three piece bathroom. See attached picture. Thanks M Savage Ottawa

I am currently remodeling the kitchen and the next thing to do on the list is the plumbing. I would like to attempt it myself but I'll hire someone if I feel the job is too complex. Issue #1 Looking at the picture Kitchen01 you can see the main stack, the 1 1/2" drain pipe and 1 1/4" vent...

We are planing a kitchen renovation the sink plumbing will need to be brought up to date. Right now the 1.5" copper drain pipe runs 5 feet left of the sink to the main 4" copper stack. The issue with the current configuration is that: A) The pipe diameter is too small B) The drain pipe runs...

I appreciate the response. I've received so many different opinions on using 1-1/2" vs. 2" I don't know what to do. Granted using 2" will eliminate any possible backup problems I have one hesitation. I'm not quite sure how to tackle the connection to what looks like a 2" cast or galvanized hub...

I was talking to a plumber this afternoon and he told me that the code here in Ontario is 1-1/2" for the laundy standpipe. I have a front load LG washer....will I run into problems using 1-1/2"?

Thanks for the advice guys. I have another question regarding the diameter of the standpipe connected to the supply box. I know that I'm supposed use 2" but I was wondering if I can reduce the diameter to 1.5" after the trap to make easier to run the pipe through the 16' 2x4 wall. Am I going to...

The basement is heated and I would be running the pipes 24" of the floor and proximately 3' blow outside ground level. Thanks for the advice. Marc

I know running pipes in insulated outside walls is not permitted but are there any exceptions for basements. I've insulated the foundation wall with R7.5 extruded foam then built a 2X4 wall frame with Roxul (Mineral Wool) R13.5 batts. My stackable washer/dryer are located on the outside wall and...

Last week I temporarily relocated my hot water tank because I am re-insulating the basement. When I drained the tank (Circa 1994) I couldn't believe the amount of rust particles at the bottom of the tank. I'm pretty sure this 12 year old tank is probably on borrowed time and should be replaced...
