Hello.
Building a home which will have a septic system and I'm at the plumbing stage now.
I have these what seem to be simple questions and the research I've done did not bring me to a clear conclussion, so here I am.
1-what type of flashing is best for corrugated metal roof 8/12 pitch, are the rubber boot style with multiple rips sufficient. Round or square base on the flashing, what’s the reason for the different shapes
2-what should be the vent pipe diameter when it penetrates the roof and what should I use for vent pipe size for the following I will have:
-2 toilettes (main floor, basement)
-2 basin sinks (main floor, basement)
-stand up shower (basement)
-tub (main floor)
-laundry sink (basement)
-washer (basement)
-kitchen sink
-dishwasher
3-If using a 3” vent for the toilettes does this pipe size have to remain consistent for the rest of the run?
4-do I need to prevent rain water from coming into the vent pipe that penetrates the roof?
5-where is the best place for the vent pipe to penetrate my metal roof, close to the peak or lower, one reason I ask...should I be concerned of snow slides breaking the PVC pipe, we get lots of snow here, Canada.
6-can you please provide your input for drain pipe diameter for the following:
-2 toilettes
-2 basin sinks
-stand up shower
-tub
-laundry sink
-washer
-kitchen sink
-dishwasher
Thanks in advance
Mike
