Second reference should be "82.30(8)(a)2" for 3" pipe. ("...(a)3" is correct if used...

Most of it, yes. That is why got permit & had it inspected - to make sure it was OK. A lot of good that did. As stated earlier, it was cut & installed in place before glued up, then had inspector...

Thanks to all for the insight on my DWV problems.

The two sink drain combos & basement tub/vent/heel inlet problem I can handle based on my research and your guidance in this post.

My real...

The 3" PVC pipe is going to be in a finished wall. The clearance between horizontal drain pipe & soffit over tub is only ½" or so. Where is the wye to go? Any illustrations?

Picture is what is to left. That is the 3" PVC pipe that connects to bend w/ heel inlet in basement.

Only part of ceiling that is going to be dropped is the area directly over the tub.

Terry,

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, you confirmed my gut feelings.

I now wonder why the inspector passed these setups. He was here twice - once before everything was glued...

After doing much reading on this board & others I have a gut feeling that some of the drain work done in my house is not correct. Bear in mind that the city plumbing inspector has been there twice &...

Answer regarding grounding question no longer needed.

After 5+ days and not a single response found answers elsewhere.

In past posts on this forum I believe the general consensus is that a PRV is not needed if water pressure is under 80psi.

A couple of months ago the new copper plumbing was completed - all type L....

In an earlier post you said used "AutoCad" program. Is this a program you have through work or is it something readily available for a reasonable cost?

Great program - wish I would have had it...

Thatguy,

Sorry, but no "huge" check unless I win the lottery. Since I don't buy lottery tickets I am pretty sure I won't win.:mad:

OK, found a module that would call me up to five times if it is activated (this would be in lieu of a shutoff). They only want $697 for it.

The real difficulty seems to be finding a sensor that...

Have two small closets that it would be nice to have lighting in.

One is a small linen closet about 18" wide x 18" deep & the other is a pantry in kitchen about 18" deep by 40" wide.

Is there some type of water flow sensor that can be installed on the main line right after the water meter that would sense a sudden increase in water flow (such as a ruptured pipe, hose, etc.)?

Ok, did air test and pumped it up to 80 psi. Evidently there is a slow leak somewhere since lost 4psi in 13 minutes on the pressure test of the whole system. Then when did test on just section...

The plumber told me it would be easier to fix also if was an air test but, he did not tell me why. He said he would fix any leaks on the work he did (he is very confident there won't be any). Do not...

Now that the plumber is gone & I have finished the laundry hookups we are ready for the city plumbing inspector to come through next week. When talked to him on the phone I told him that we (me &...

I agree with Gary. He has pretty much relayed my thoughts on PEX.
I am not a scientist, nor a plumber, either.

Recently finished a replumbing of the house we bought last summer. The entire...

Ok, the plumber is finished w/ the re-plumbing of the house except for the laundry area in the basement. He left this area for me to do since he had to leave for a large commercial job up North...

Thanks for the star.

Here (in central wisconsin) AAV's are allowed. Was asking due to curiosity. Part of our replumb was adding an upstairs bathroom and had the vent for the new lav run to the 2" vent that already goes...

HJ,

Nope, never done it & don't plan on it. Only limit my plumbing to very basic stuff, that is why hired plumber to do the replumb of house. Thanks for the clarification.
