Thanks for the info Jim, anyone else have a differnt take?

so you're saying that whole section (leaded at top of the T and the small section on the bottom) is all galvanized, good to know. I've never heard of a Tucker Tee, would this be original or a repair?...

thanks Lurker, points well taken not using the ABS. The pipe cutters causing a bigger mess was my worry.
by a "little more demo" do you mean open the space up more for the purpose of using a sawsall...

Hey guys,
Well I was unlucky enough to have a crack in the drain line somewhere inside the wall. I cut out the drywall and found the problem. Pics are below.
There are two big cracks in the bushing...

Much appreciated (sorry for calling you Phil, that was the name in your sig, now it says Ron. So I don't know what to call you haha).
So the "c" section of the sission fitting (from above photo)...

Dang! So one more thing not done right. At least I'm getting the real deal here.
So does that mean I'm going to have to lead the joints now? Also how does that sission fitting work? does it slip...

Thanks for the heads up Terry, I didn't relize that the 4x3 was slightly longer. I thought I could just switch them out. This sounds like the best way to proceed.

I do have just a few more...

Anybody have any input about the plans above?

HJ i'm going to try and tackle this this weekend. can I use a 45 or 90 to drop the shower drain to meet the lateral line as described in photo above?

Also how does this look for the 4x4x4 stack...

bump with revision to plan.

I'm having a hard time visualizing this, what would the fixture end up looking like?



Understood, what is the pitch per foot I should be aiming for? And if it's too steep to connect as show...

Man, I'm glad I posted up. Why didn't they just do it right the first time. Are there any constraints on how it gets plumbed in? I'm thinking something like this (photo below).
Are there special...

Hi guys,
2 years ago we had an ejector pump put in the basement to rough out a bath down there, and the plumbers ran most of the work in PVC. Except for the lateral line that feeds in to the soil...

got it jada, i'll look for the sand, portand mix.

thanks

hmm, deck mud, I think i remember something about that over at john birdges website. Sounds like something I'd have to mix myself. Maybe i can find a recipe online somewhere.

EDIT
I found the...

That makes perfect sense. What's the "right stuff" as far as mortar is concerned? Should it ever be used to finish off the leveling of the acrylic base?

why mortar as opposed to concrete? Is there ever a time to use one over the other?

thanks for the reply dcelite, will do.

I have a fiberglass shower base I am installing in a basement bathroom. I have all the stub out plumbed with 2" cast iron a concreted. I left the length sticking out of the concrete long so I can cut...

would I need to put the new vent line between the washer p trap and the sink p trap?

Thanks for the help guys.

That stack on the left is a vent. It's the vent that services the sink. So that vent won't work for both the sink and the washer?

The set up I have now has only been...

Hey guys,
I just got rid of the old double basin in our basement (that thing is solid iron, and damn heavy) and am replacing it with a single. I want to redo the drain plumbing at the same time.
...

thanks for the great info guys.

What would I use to fasten the flange to the slab? Tapcon screws?

I'll start chipping away at the concrete.

sorry about that, I mean the drain. It's the one in the two photos without the shower base.

thanks

bump for any advice on what I need to do next to finish up the toilet stack?

thanks
