As I recall the most important thing was to get the same material above and below the pipe (I believe they used gravel). Setting the pipe directly onto undisturbed dirt and then refilling with...

Is this a bad place to ask a gas related question, or is everyone afriad I'll blow up my house and then try to sue you for giving advice? :p

I've only been to San Jose in the summer, but it never get's much below freezing does it? I'd be surprised if the pipe is much more than 1ft deep. I wouldn't personally want to use the trenching...

I saw this fitting on my gas pipe under the house where the pipe had been modified probably 30 years ago and I didn't like the looks of it. Then I saw one on the shelf at lowe's and realized that is...

I'm sure that's true. I imagine you could put in a neon orange toilet and you'd stop noticing it in a week or 2.

I recently read that Kohler white does not match American Standard white, though I can't personally confirm it. I was trying to learn the difference between Toto's cotton white and colonial white and...

Ok, problem solved I hope. I put the tub back the way it was (minus the lead trap), and found another place at the end of the 4" horizontal pipe where I can Tee in the washer. I went in the attic to...

Right. I was thinking like this. But do I cap off or T in the pipe marked in green?

Is the laundry room in use? My girlfriend's apartment had this problem since she didn't have a washer and the trap apparently evaporated dry. I suspect you are using the washer though and your...

Alright guys, I can see your frustration with me after learning how erroneous my intended setup was. I promise I am not a dumba$$ most of the time. I'll have to redo the washer standpipe in the wall...

Where exactly are we talking about here? The cast iron below where the tub goes in? That space is already occupied by the kitchen sink drain coming from the other direction (barely visable in the...

1/2" pipe is 1/2" on the inside (nominally), so the outside is much bigger (around 11/16"). I'm pretty sure you're just measuring wrong and it will screw right in. As far as I know, NPT has been the...

Hmm, very interesting stuff. The CI is a true vent, there is no upper level. It changes to a galvanized pipe and turns horizontal just above the toilet tank, then ties in to the 6" CI vent going out...

The vent is directly above the old cast iron pipe. I was of the impression that this was adequate to vent both items, but I do see what you're saying with the velocity of the washer possibly creating...

Hello all,
I'm replacing an old lead bathtub trap and adding a washing machine drain at the same time here. My concern is to make sure I'm doing the Y correctly to prevent washing machine water...
