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?

Ok, thank you!

Yes, there is a sink nearby with a 2'' vent. See below. Is this sufficient?

I am in the process of remodeling my bathroom and I noticed that this is no vent on the toilet drain. It is right above the main waste line. Is it being vented through that? Should I add an additional vent? See pictures below:

Yes, that's what I was thought. I did call up Schluter and they said that there will be no problem with having the wiring under the vanity. Thanks for the input!

So, I ordered too much cable length for my ditra heat. To make it work, I alternated 3-2-3-2 studs as Schluter says you can. I made sure I stayed 7in away from toilet drain centerline, but i still had to run cable under where my vanity will be. I kept 3 and 4 spacing under the vanity to keep...

Ok, that's what I will do. Thanks for the advice!

Hi all. I am remodeling my bathroom. I am changing the location of the sink, as well as changing from a single sink to a double sink. I have a few ideas on how to reroute the plumbing, but I would like to get others opinions on the best/correct way to do it. Thanks in advance. Here are my 2 ideas
