Seeing as the drain for the sink services the lavatory + kitchen sink/disposal/dishwasher, I am going to need upgrade the 1.5" drain with a 2", correct? If so, looks like I will need to replace the...

Removed some of the concrete last night and it looks like the sink drain ties into the same cast iron pipe as the tub drain. My plan is to go ahead and replace the lead sink drian while I am at it. ...

Thanks for the advice, my plan is to remove the brass ferrule and tie the PVC straight into the cast iron. I'll go ahead and bust a little concrete and see where that lead sink drain goes, judging...

Howdy,

I am remodeling the bathroom in my 1951 house on slab. Once I removed the tub, I found a lead drum trap that I figure ought to be upgraded while I have the opportunity. I guess removing...

Starting to toy with the idea of using a mini tank+tankless...Are the Bosch Aristons the most common/best choice for mini tanks? Also, from my limited research, I would need to with Ariston GL6,...

Thanks for all the replies! I have been without a computer all weekend or I would have responded sooner.

I have not received a price quote yet, but from what I could find on google, they seem to...

Hey guys, sorry to come off as grubbing for free advice, but I really would like to get a nod of approval/disapproval before I pour concrete. I had to cut through the slab once and I sure don't want...

I am considering one of these Eternal Hybrid Water Heaters http://www.eternalwaterheater.com/ to replace my 17 year old tank heater and wanted to know if anyone has any experience with these. Now,...

I have thought about this as well. My lines will be running perpendicular to the joists, so going above the insulation is about my only option. Since I will have several runs of PEX going from the...

OK finally got it all glued up. I haven't put my horizontal run over to the vanity yet or connected the vent up through the roof, but this is everything that will be under the slab. Any...

One other thing, is it ok if the vertical stacks aren't perfectly vertical? I tried to keep them perfectly vertical, but that was almost impossible to do and have the horizontal lines maintain the...

I am about to begin a similar project. Well, I am neck deep in it, but about to begin the pex install part. I went with the Wirsbo/Uponor system. The expander tool isn't terribly expensive (~$250...

Howdy everyone!

I finally have been able to get my drain lines laid! I haven't glued them up yet, but wanted to get yall's opinion before I do. Starting from the right, that is the 2" wet vent...

Removing some of the concrete has revealed some complications. it looks like there is a concrete footing that runs along the wall I was goign to put my vanity on (this is an interior wall). it...

I am currently running the drain lines for my bathroom remodel and have a question about the toilet rough in. First, my understand of a 12" rough in is 12" from the finished wall to the center of...

I am no expert, but am in the middle of a very similar project. My plan however is to completely abandon the existing lines. As far as what is currently under the slab, that is anyones guess. As I...

Also, what do yall recommend I do with the existing lines under the slab? I was planning on cutting them as much as possible with a dremel tool but just leave most of them in place. Should I pack...

Hey guys, I wanted to confirm that I am proceeding in the right direction before I bust anymore concrete. Here is a photo of where I am at now. My cheesy paint job didn't come out as clearly as I...

My home (along with the rest of the neighborhood) was built in 1950 and still has most of the original galvanized piping. I do have some water flow issues, but no leaks yet (knock on wood).

My...

I hope everyone had a good 4th, and thank you all for your help. I am back again in need of more advice

After showing my wife the bathroom layout I was planning, I have had to make a few...

OK, so the 2" vent at the lavatory would be sufficient. besides that, would either of the two layouts above be correct?

The only reason I was thinking about running the drain for the lavatory outside as a seperate pipe was that I figured I would cut less concrete that way. Everyone says that cutting concrete isn't...

I snapped a picture of the drain outside, it is hard to tell, but the top of the drain line in the picture is about 18" from the top of the foundation, the base of the foundation footing is about 4"...

Scratch my reply above, I did not see your response until after I submitted it.

As far as the concrete foundation walls, I do not believe they are very deep, perhaps 6" deeper than the foundation...

OK I get it now. I moved the drainlines so that the vent would rise vertically from it. That also means I would only need 1 vent for the shower and toilet, correct? I am under IRC here.
