The sanitary tee can ONLY be installed in a horizontal line IF the inspector allows it, and none of them in this area do. And even if an individual inspector allowed it, I would NOT want to...

San tees are installed here regularly in Oregon horizontally for venting trap arms, and...

I have exactly the same problem iin a kitchen sink n a 3 year old house that I built on the Washington coast. I did all the plumbing and have measured the hot and cold flow separately and they are...

Note san tee on it's back on page 5 used for toilet vent. They are legal in Oregon, but not too many other places......

Wonderful reference. Very clear.

They are allowed here in Oregon laying on their back with the side connection pointing up for vents. In Washington the inspectors I've dealt with require a combo or wye/45.

Yes, there is one pump and the line has a tee that feeds his place. Thanks,

We share our well with a neighbor at our mountain cabin. He lives there year around, while our place is used only on occasional weekends.

The line to his house has broken several times...

I have a 12' X 12' pump house with an roof that has a 10/12 pitch. The roof starts at 8' high so there is a lot of head room. When it's been insulated in the past with fiberglass insulation the...

Wow, I've read his post several times, and am still trying to find where he wants to "shortcut his way to becoming certified ....". All he did was ask the "quickest" way. If that's an...

Dunbar Plumbing and nhmaster:

Chill out. All he did was ask a question about backflow testing. And it's clear from some of the responses that this license can be obtained separately from a...

1/2 the pressure does not equal 1/2 of the flow. The valve will be close (but not exactly) to a sharp edge orifice, so the flow will be related to the pressure in a square root relationship. ...

There isn't any confusion. You can't reduce the size of any fixture drain, and you can't buy a shower with a 1-1/2 drain. So, showers must have a 2" drain.

Will a 1-1/2" trap on a 2" fixture...

I'm not a pro, but I've never seen a shower pan, tray, or stall that did not have a 2" outlet, and the code you quote says under note d, "Trap size shall be consistent with the fixture outlet size" ...

Here in Oregon we have finally lost our minds.........

Ok, I rarely post, but can't resist after reading this thread. I've done many small plumbing repairs, remodels for family and friends and plumbed three complete houses on my own. I'm no pro, but...

Ok, this is a weird one, and not very important. I've just never seen it before.

I just built a new house and the kitchen sink drain works perfectly when I run cold water into it. But when I run...

Using a plumber is not the "ONLY" way to properly clear it. This sounds like a typical vanity clog, and I've cleaned many of them by simply removing the trap, tail piece, etc and then removing the...

Thanks. I can get the Frostex locally here. Appreciate the help......

I just built a new house and have some (small amount) of Wirsbo in an unheated crawl space. I installed the rest of the plumbing on interior walls and in heated ceilings. Is there a heat tape...

What is the very best material for caulking/sealing traditional self-rimming china and cast iron sinks? I just plumbed a new house and will be installing two lavs and one kitchen sink, all on top of...

I wasn't clear. What I'd like to do is vent the trap arm with a san tee on it's back, and then continue the drain horizontally after the vent. I've seen this done on showers and toilets. Is it...

Just curious, why not? I see it done in many jurisdictions in this area (Portland, Oregon and Southwest Washington state) and the inspectors always sign off on it. Oh well...........

General question about venting: Can I use a san tee on it's back to vent a shower or toilet as long as it's sized correctly and all other requirements are met (trap arm length, max amount of bend,...
