Thank you cacher_chick. I wish I could decide what fitting to use on the vertical stack but it's cast iron including the santee and it is quite inaccessible. I looked up that side inlet fitting...

Does that latest layout look like it will work? The more I think about it the more I think the shower vent might have to move to either the shower trap arm or just upstream of the wye connection to...

Version 2. I think this will work and I might even be able to safely reduce the venting and drain to 1.5" upstream of the shower drain connection and vent. The only thing I'm concerned about is...

Thank you everyone for the input. HJ, this is under 2x10 floor joists so I have some leeway. The joists run parallel to the run from the closet flange to the shower wye.

Added another pic with some dimensions. This is quite a large bathroom. Ontario, Canada for code requirements. Another note, I'll use a 3-3-2 santee for the vent connection. Didn't have one...

Does this look correct? As I understand it I can wet vent a single bath group through a 2".

If it makes any difference (or if it's a good idea) I can very easily continue the 3" back to where...

This is in a cottage and there is no way to get to the plumbing underneath the shower. I can see it but I can't get to it (insanely tight crawlspace)

It's a problem. My guess is that is has been...

Thanks guys. I'm leaning more towards DonL's pic (haha) but after some digging I guess this is a common tap offset for clawfoot tubs. I found this and ordered it. ...

I've got a house remodel in the works that involves a spruce-up of two bathrooms and a kitchen. Involved are three faucet replacements. Two are straightforward. The bathtub has a faucet unlike...

Jerome - thank you very much - the inspector agrees! Good to go. He mentioned something about 5' being good. I imagine it's that the shower drain/wet vent connects to the 3" horizontal run within...

Thanks very much for the input. I guess I'll have to run it by the inspector. I'm located in Ontario and I'm not sure what our code is. I guess it's close enough to not get laughed or yelled at!...

I'm hoping to keep this simple and I think the drawing has all the info. The 2" shower vent will continue out the roof and the 1-1/2" vents from the lav and laundry will tie together 5' up, and...

Try dialing 811

That should put you in touch with the right agency locally. They will come out and mark for free I think.

Yep, good stuff. And stinky. Good (real) silicone is smelly when wet.

I have the exact same setup in my detached garage. I couldn't find a thermostat to hold the temp as low as I wanted (I keep it around 40). My easy solution was to mount a simple mercury thermostat...

For whatever reason my my "Go to first new post" links are now working perfectly. Firefox 3.5.7 I never did try it with Explorer. I didn't proactively change anything on my side.

Ran into a really hot goalie. Wasn't an elimination game but it makes our path tougher.

Very interesting. Post more if you have em!

What is the distance from the top of the sink tailpiece to the ABS when you mock it up? Is it possible that you have enough room to create a small jog with two 45deg fittings? Or two 22.5s ??

It sounds like you're willing to convince yourself that it's OK to put it under the floor so go ahead and do it. It will probably be fine.

In a perfect world, you can easily access the...

In NJ I would put it above the floor. If the P-Trap did freeze up (and this is a real possibility if there are any drafts through the crawlspace (there always are)) you would have an INSTANT...

Our neighbour had it done last year for $800 if I remember correctly. This was with a french drain to disperse the water. I thought it was an amazing price and was surprised.

I would clean/clear out the hole as best possible and slide a 15" section of 8" dia. perforated Big-O tubing down there. That will create a mini sump pit and you might be able to get some kind of...

I usually grab GE Silicone II

The toggle bolts will hold the bowl in place while the silicone sets up. Use a top quality silicone on the pedestal to floor, pedestal to bowl and bowl to wall connections. Lay a good bead on the...
