Hey all, I'm a plumbing designer working in Texas - I have designed my fair share of apartments. Does anyone work as a plumbing contractor in the state, specifically with multifamily jobs? I have a few dissenting opinions in the office on the best way to route a typical bathroom.
I've done HWV for 2x lavs, WC, and tub/shr, standalone single stacks for bt/shr, standalone single stacks for lavs, etc. What is most common? Is there a 'best practice' and 'owner is a tightwad' routing?
The hardest part for me to get down is what happens in the field. Modern multifamily with truss construction is relatively simple, but a completely different ball game than traditional residential. I'm curious to get input from anyone with experience on these larger builds.
(I attached a sample bathroom HWV riser, I've made hundreds of these damn things)
Thanks!
