    Island loop for dishwasher

    Hi everyone, First off, thanks for the great site. Definitely a newbie here so I apologize in advance if I put this in the wrong place or have my formatting wrong. My general questions are: Would this be up to code [UPC] (or at least pretty close) and are there any functional differences...

    Proper Loop Vent?

    I’m in the middle of remodeling a house we just purchased. I have attached a photo of the “loop vent” below for our kitchen sink. The would be sink and p-trap are on the opposite side. It appears that the vent and drain dive into the same pipe as it goes into the ground (I am on slab). Sink...

    Horizontal Island Loop Vent?

    Does an island loop vent have to come to a point (45-90-45 bends), or can the top run horizontally for a few feet using two 90 bends and no 45s? I would like to run my island sink drain pipe down one leg of the island and the vent pipe down the adjacent island leg a few feet away. Thoughts...

    Is this bad?! Yes, it needs fixing.

    Plumber installed an island loop with this setup. He says it was done this way because connecting the vent back to the drain would cause more damage to the slab (this is a reno and we had to cut about a foot deep into the slab to make this happen). What problems am I looking at down the road?

    Island loop vent failed inspection

    Looking for some help in understanding what I've done wrong and why this loop vent doesn't work. The vent side slopes towards the loop, the drain slopes away. A p-trap is above the floor on the drain side, and the vent side connects to the drain side as high as possible under a counter top...

    Island/Peninsula Loop Vent - Final Check

    First I would like to thank Terry and this forum for the many posts on island loop vents. My familiarity with them, all from what I learned here, impressed my city inspector for a DIY'er. Before I complete final glue up of my peninsula loop vent, I would like input on heights of the cleanout...
