I'm roughing in a pot filler, and I'd like the ability to put a water filter on it. My first thought was to rough in two 1/2" stubs in the cabinet above the range - one will be the "input" side that...

Sounds like you're describing a reducing wye with a street connection. I've personally never seen one, but a cursory Google search shows that they do exist, and are known as "street wyes" (feel free...

Take off the shield and slide it onto the existing pipe, then put the coupling on the new pipe and roll it back. Do that for both sides, put in your new piece of pipe, pop the rubber onto the...

This particular drain is for the roof of a 2 story extension off the main house (which is 4 stories). But it's part an attached townhouse, so there are neighboring buildings whose windows could be...

UPC 2009 states that all storm drains connected to a sewer line should be trapped:



And its definition of "Storm Drain" is:



Granted, I take your point that it's basically being vented...

I am replacing a storm line running to a roof drain, and it currently has no trap and connects directly to my main sewer line (combined sewer and storm lines are very common in my area). As long as...

Well, I do now. They're pricey. I just have to figure out if it's cheaper to do that rather than running an individual vent for the toilet and tub and tying them back in above.

What about a double fixture fitting for both of them?

I think this is the relevant section of 2009 UPC:



This doesn't seem to disallow it, but I still seem to recall reading somewhere the UPC disallows wet venting into vertical drainage. Maybe...

Is the following wet venting permissible under UPC?

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but thought I'd check with the experts just in case, since it would make my life easier.

I am by no means an expert, but I see many things wrong here.
-Your standpipe (if you can call it that) has no trap.
-It also has no vent, or rather, you're trying to use the section of pipe...

A street elbow has a male fitting on one end, so you can fit it directly into the other fitting without requiring any pipe in between.

Good to know. I can't seem to find the stuff online anywhere, though. This is the closest I've come across:

My plumber ran some supply lines in a very narrow brick channel next to the cast iron waste stack. Unfortunately, the copper and cast iron are touching at points, and the channel is so narrow that...

I used Sketchup. Charlotte Pipe used to publish real models for all their fittings, though they no longer seem to be available now. But if you look at some old plumbing models in Sketchup's 3D...

After re-reading my post, I neglected to mention that the room below does not have walls framed out (it has plaster applied directly to the brick), which is why I'm not running the pipes straight...

I'm reconfiguring an upper floor bathroom and trying to figure out the plumbing. In particular, I want to move the toilet to the far left hand side of the bathroom; put a double vanity in the middle;...
