I've decided to raise the HWH (place on 18 in stand). Then plumb pan to indirect drain that leads to the show drain. This way there is no chance of a drain blockage causing water to back up into the pan. Although the HWH is FVIR compliant, this adds more safety combustion/fume wise. See diagram.

Is it because the drain is not indirect? In other words, if I didn't directly connect the pan to the drain.

I have this already. But my understanding is I need a drain for code compliance.

Please point to the specific regulation as to why not.

First off, I'm so sorry to hear about Terry's illness. He helped me with a prior project. Super guy and so knowledgeable about plumbing. Prayers to Terry and his family. I'm remodeling another bathroom. Plumbing wise this involves a new shower. While at it I want to plumb a drain to the...

Yep, the skirt will be constructed for removal if needed. The concrete is only a 1.5 inch in depth. About 16 inches of sand underneath so easy to remove if needed. Thanks for the comments.

Finally the last of the plumbing is done. A little tight but turned out well. Again, thanks for everyone's help.

Its correct. Left side ...hot to the touch. I run a recirculation pump on the hot water since my hot water heater is on the far side of the house from the kitchen.

Here is what I've come up with. hot side PEX will come from left (cold from right). I'll solder a male PEX fitting into the valve supply ends then use a combo of PEX T's and L's to complete. This will work. Thanks everyone for your help.

I think option 1 should be tried first. I'm hoping that the pipe can be carefully removed from the female joint of the manifold. Then cleaned out for a re-solder. There is a lot of crude to contend with for option 2 and 4 chances for something going wrong vs 2. Man, Am I paranoid?!

Yes, The valve connectors appear to be CTS. See attached image. I actually built a template in plywood to test the placement out so I can increase the width if needed. I think the connections between the valves won't be an issue. I'm more concerned with the manifold connections to the valves and...

Please look at the attached image. I can't decide how best to plumb the supply. See the offset? I'm thinking the stub has to come off and carefully redo the copper from the female joint. Should I do this? What alternatives do I have?

Oh yes it is under mount or drop in. Kohler "tea for two". I'm doing under mount as I've got a shower and don't water trapped on the deck behind the curb that a drop in would have.

Its the hot valve side. Danze roman faucet. I may have enough room to use https://www.homedepot.com/p/Apollo-1-2-in-Brass-PEX-Barb-x-3-4-in-Female-Pipe-Thread-Adapter-APXFA1234/305728961 at the bottom of each valve and immediately T off to the shower and supply. Its going to be close; maybe too...

See attached image. I have a bath tub with roman faucet on one end and a shower on the opposing end that I need to plumb. I plan onPEXx to the shower valve, copper from it to the shower head. But given the limited room and the need for T's on the faucet end how should I plumb this? I've got to...

I'm finishing up the plumbing finally on a bath room remodel. One of the things I did was add a vent for the tub that goes up a wall into the attic space then across the joists and intersects with a 3 inch vent stack which exits the roof. The new venting is 2 inch. I had trouble aligning the...

Yea I like the idea of a different support. Thanks for tip. Terry, that pipe was there before but now that I have everything else up to code, I'd might as well do that too. Thanks for the catch.

Well word for the wise or dummies like me. I noticed that the stub out was loose. No problem.... thought I get the torch out and sweat it a bit. Did this w/o any precaution (protecting pex/empty line etc.... Results attached...

BTW this is how my new venting turned out...

What is the current thinking on capping the hole underneath the tub? I have filled with sand with about 2" left. Should I use concrete to finish. 2" should be easy to break. Termites are a big problem here.
