Hey guys,

I was called out to a house to add a zone off the boiler loop for a new bedroom. At first glance I thought I was dealing with copper. As soon as I started to shine up the "copper" so I...

Ugly! ...........

That plumbing is honestly just very very bad. And no it's not code compliant.

You need to jack hammer out the drain and redo everything. It's that simple.

They're illegal.



A flat dry vent is a portion of a vent pipe that connects to a soil-or-waste (SOW) pipe BELOW a nomially vertical angle. IE. The vent connects to the SOW pipe "flat". This is...

No.

.........

Can no one take a joke these days?

What pex crimp rings are you using that are corroding?

What is below the floor of the radiator?

You don't need to seperately vent the toilet in your drawing there. Not only that but it's an illegal flat dry vent anyway.

You can wet vent the toilet through the sink, as long as the part of the...

Nope you can't do that because you have a fly dry vent AND you are wet venting a fixture past a water closet. You can't do this either.

You need to tie the sink drain into the vertical "2 vent"...

+1 to that. It's probably the cheapest and easiest way to fix that problem.

But if it were me I'd find a fab shop of some kind that will cut the 4 legs down for you to exactly what you need so the...

This is usually what I do unless I am requested to do something else.

Getting a 1/2" snake around a 1 1/2" 90* elbow is going to be tough, especially if you aren't able to spin the cable as you push on it. But who knows what's inside your walls and what fittings were...

Pictures please.

PB is nasty nasty piping and if you have access to any of it you should replace it.

So yes replace every inch of it you can get your hands on!!!!!

If you're redo'ing the flooring you're much...

Good luck drywalling around that double wye....

Some people don't like copper because certain areas of the country gave a dirtier gas that will cause parts of the copper tubing to flake off (almost like rust but obv not rust). Generally this is...

Not true at all.

The NPC of Canada doesn't say much about what you can do with a fixture outlet pipe, but only what you can do with a trap and what's downstream of a trap.

Lots of people put 2"...

Probably almond.........

Search the kohler website to see which fixtures you can get in almond.

Yep post a picture.

Honestly if it were up to me I wouldn't ever use pex at all in a house an only copper. However pex is 900000x cheaper to buy and install so it wins.

The ID of pex isn't THAT much smaller than...

Why in the hell would ANYONE rund 3/8th pex to supply water to a regularily used fixture? Honestly I can't fathom running 3/8th pex to anything other than an ice maker. But it's your house not mine.

Your gas company has a warranty on a 16 year old water heater? That's pretty damn good!!

Wow that's brutal!!! Here we have a minimum $1,000,000 liability and for like $25 more per year you can have $2,000,000 coverage. I wouldn't like to drive around knowing that someone could total my...

I would put my $ on a loose drain line inside the walls some where rather then a sewage pump, because why would a fixture on the top floor be draining into a sewage pump? Does the sewer enter the...
