code

Can anyone provide an example (or multiple) of how IPC Section 917 can be used in a residential setting for a two-story home with stacked bathrooms (shower, WC, lav)? I'm particularly interested in how that section allows toilets to use the same stack (if at all). I'm having trouble...

Can you all show me how IPC section 917 on single stack vents could be used for two bathrooms (tub, toilet, lav) that are stacked on top of one another (first floor, second floor). My appreciation is that the code generally doesn't allow toilets to be in a vertical stack, but that you can have...

Does anyone see a code violation with this design? My municipality uses 2012 IPC. It's for stacked bathrooms, with lav, toilet, tub/shower + a washing machine in two-story home. Slab on grade, so the lower fittings are in the earth. I'm proposing 1.5" fittings for everything except the...

What do you think about the following rough in layout? Any feedback or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I have an improperly drained kitchen sink and utility sink situation that I am cleaning up (including permits and inspections). I think that my question is specific to Wisconsin plumbing code. To the best of my knowledge, section 905.5 of the UPC explicitly allows a design like shown below...

Hi All, Desperately wanting to have my final final on a whole house redo that I've been too many years working on. Failed my final plumbing with a list of small things I've already fixed and one big problem: the inspector says my shower fails under UPC 408.6 because you cannot fit a 30"...

All, I have an antique claw foot tub I'm installing. The drain is a brass 1.5" pipe going into the crawlspace. This is replacing a shower that used to be in the same location. When I went under to see the previous setup I got puzzled. The old shower drained through a 1.5" pvc pipe into a 2"...

Looking for some advice on how to plumb a floor drain where there is not much vertical distance between the top of the floor drain and the existing waste pipe. I've included a diagram of what I want to do, labeled A. Basically the trap would be in-line with the 3-inch waste pipe (waste pipe...

Hello all, In the process of a remodel and I'm trying to wrap my head around how to vent the shower. The way I see it, I have two options based on where everything needs to be. Option A (red lines are my proposed runs): Option B: The shower trap will be too close to the wall to fork off of...

I am installing a new linear shower drain. What I hope to do is install the new drain upstream of the 1.5” dry vent, however there is already one 2” vented drain that discharges just above the vent (originates at my washing machine). Reading code 909.2, it appears that I should not install the...

In our area inspectors are now tagging TPR valves that don't have a constant gravity drain slope, even in otherwise simple water heater replacements in basements. This is supported by IAMPO 608.5: 608.5 Discharge Piping. The discharge piping serving a temperature relief valve, pressure relief...

First off I am a rookie DIY plumber. Has anyone ever used structural plywood to support holes drilled in studs? I have a king stud I drilled a hole into that is 63%. Initially was planning on using a 3" nominal shoe for it since it is actual 2". Its a 100 year old stud. Though not sure how...

Is there any code compliant way to get waste from the diagrammed location, under the door, and to the sewer line? Other than a 4" tail on a P trap, are any other parts of the trap regulated? In other words, could a trap be made with a lower part 3 feet wide, kind of like diagrammed in green...

I am remodeling my small bathroom. I know code is for the center of the toliet drain to be 15" from a wall or vanity. There is going to be a baseboard heater on the side of my toliet. Do I have to be 15" from that, or can i go 15" from the wall?

Hello, I'm moving my toilet in my main floor half bath to make room for a shower in my first ever renovation. I'm looking for advice on if I've got the plumbing configuration correct (I live in Ontario, but wanting to make sure the basic plumbing choices I've made are sound before I ask for my...
