Hey guys,
Looking for some advice from anyone more knowledgable than myself. Im removing an existing the urinal, and altering the drain in the wall so that back to back urinals can be installed. All my work is residential, so I haven't done an awful lot of commercial installation.
The stack inside the wall is 2 inch copper, and I have a couple of questions regarding the drain stub out and the clean out. The sanitary tee inside the wall will obviously be copper sweat. Would it be best to solder the copper drain and 2" MIP into the tee, or solder a FIP into the tee and leave a galvanized nipple sticking out the wall? My issue with the first option is that the guys doing the wall aren't exactly sure if they are tiling it, nor are they sure of the width of the tiles. Im worried that my MIP could end up being too far outside the wall, or too far inside. If I used the galvanized nipple, then I can leave any length of nipple in the wall and finish it after the wall is done.
Another question I have is about the clean out. I'll be installing it in the vent about the sanitary tee. Would I just 'wye' off to the side and install the clean out plug.
Thanks
